In case you hadn't noticed, the name of this blog is pretty lame. Instead of coming up with something myself that might (emphasis on might) be less lame, I thought you all could probably come up with a creative monicker, something that links El Paso and Austin.
So, here's your shot at blog fame. Post a comment with your suggestion to name this blog between now and Nov. 30. I'll pick the top five and post them for a weeklong vote down on Dec. 1.
The winner will be announced Dec. 8. The prize: the overwhelming sense of pride and self-worth you'll get when you log on for a Capitol update. Seriously, what could be better? Yeah, money. Sorry, you'll have to settle for pride.

La Casa Rosada.

Out on a Lege- corny, I know, but all I could think of, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity

The blog should pay homage to the great Wesley Willis' song style.
My proposed blog title: "Rock over Austin! Rock on El Paso!- Wheaties, the breakfast of champions."
