Jason Embry's Blogs

I found Jason Embry's blogs in the Austin Statesman. I found him to be very informative and direct with his blogging. His blogs at times do seem like he is trying to be far and impartial. He gives great information and logical explanations to his critiques.

His informative blog on the health care reform was one of the best I have seen. It gave an excellent format to what the health care reform was all about and where to find certain information that would make it easier to understand the complicated maze.

I liked his fairness to give both sides their due process, but there were times when I did find him, putting his views on certain subjects. I must admit, it is his blog and he is entitle to put his personal views on line.

Over all his blog is one of the fairest and most informative blogs I have come across. It's almost like an informative platform for him to let the readers know what is going on.

Governor Perry and the Ex-Convicts

I am not very fond of some of the choices that Gov. Perry has made for the state of Texas, but I did find an article in the Austin Statesman where their editorial board and I could agree on something that Gov. Perry have done right.

The article " Don't Knock Texas Gov. Perry for throwing ex-offenders a lifeline" is an interesting read. The article states that Gov. Perry campaign party has hired ex-convicts as part time workers. The editorial board agrees with what Gov. Perry had done and states that ex-offenders whom have served their time and fulfilled their legal obligations deserves a second chance.

I agree with the board that ex-offenders who have done everything that the state of Texas has required them to do should get an opportunity to regain their right to vote and work. The board has some great points to why Gov. Perry has done the right thing in allowing ex-convicts to work on his campaign.

The only suggestion I would make is that the editorial board could make clearer whether these ex-convicts crimes are non violent are or they violent crimes. Readers would like to know whether the ex-convicts crimes are considered non violent or are they offensive to the public.

The article was well written and it articulated its point without being too bias to one side.
