It’s always a good to be a journalist in Texas, but this year was something special: butt injections, a paranoid district attorney on the lam, a kid with a clock. As the late, great Molly Ivins would have it, Texas politics is the finest form of free entertainment devised by man. Except sometimes it’s not so funny. Always, however, it’s interesting. To follow are some of the stories that captured my attention this year. Enjoy.
