Tom Delay started a blog.  Here’s why:

I have created this blog in order to provide Americans with a new meeting place where such opinions and viewpoints might be better shared, discussed and debated; a place where conservative and traditionalist Americans might speak truth to power and to one another.

How successful was this viewpoint-sharing project of Tom’s?  Well, It lasted 75 minutes before he closed off and erased reader comments.  Apparently, people don’t like him very much.  Fortunately, someone preserved the comments here.
