Wednesday is Veterans Day, when we pause to remember and honor those who have protected us and defended all of the good this nation stands for. We especially thank those who died for that cause...

Early voting for the Nov. 3 constitutional amendment election started this week and is going on now. Please help get the word out to vote for Proposition 4, which would create more Tier One universities in Texas...

I'm hoping that by supporting this, GTA's at UTA will eventually get tuition waivers, which is the standard at tier 1 universities.

Tuition waivers for GTA's? Not at UT-Austin when I was there, although it did qualify you for in-state tuition, which was of no benefit to us who were already here.

As you know, my Fourth Annual Concert Under the Stars was to feature Patty Griffin this Thursday night. I'm very sad to report that Patty's father passed away yesterday afternoon. Patty has gone to Maine to be with her family at what is a very difficult time for them...

(To see the pictures, click here: http://www.kirkwatson.com/watson-wire/last-chance/) Back when we first announced that Patty Griffin would play the Zilker Park party this year, the "Save the Date" card included an illustration of a ton of red hair, reminiscent of, well, Patty's great hair...

In fact, only good stuff. It’s time, as they say, to “Save the Date” for the political event you’ve been waiting for all year. If you haven’t been thinking about it for months, it’s got to be simply because you didn’t know about it, right? So, here we go. This is the...

Someone pointed out to me recently that, LBJ’s birthday notwithstanding, there isn’t a real big holiday this time of year. So the Texas Legislature had to go and make one. Starting today and running through Sunday is the state’s Sales Tax Holiday. Thi...

There’s been a lot of speculation about my plans for the next election. Well, I’ve decided what I’m going to do, and I want to announce it to you all first. I will run for re-election to the Texas Senate in 2010. Countless conversations and a ton of consideration went into this decision. It ...
