Better late than never to acknowledge today's efforts to advance open government.

Though Texas has some of the toughest open records laws in the nation, there are still those who would prefer to conduct the government's business in the shadows. And though the US is a model for the rest of the world, it bears repeating that the Bush administration and their lickspittles operating the Mighty Wurlitzer would rather have us moving in the wrong direction.
