The February issue of Texas Monthly has a feature on the 35 People Who Will Shape Our Future, and none other than Houston blogger extraordinnaire Charles Kuffner made the cut:
Kidding aside, he's one of many Texas bloggers who are every bit as professional as those of us in the MSM, but we'll confess that we're partial to this New York native, who graduated from Trinity University with a degree in math and did a blink-and- you'll-miss-it stint in graduate school at Rice University (he's still a member of the Marching Owl Band). Since 2002, he's been the driving force behind Off the Kuff, now the state's longest continuously published progressive political blog; his other blog, Kuff's World, has been featured on the Houston Chronicle's Web site since 2006. Unlike many digital diatribers, Kuff (who toils by day as a BlackBerry administrator for a large energy company) plays it straight, delivering Houston news and commentary on everything from city council races to the lowly Astros in the same measured, reasoned, only occasionally outraged voice. He's a fun read and a smart read and, increasingly, a gotta-read.
Indeed. He's been a daily read for me since 2002, and now he belongs to the world. Or Texas at large, anyway. Congratulations, Chuck.
Is that some kind of kinky Texan sex toy?
I sure hope not, because possession of more than five would be a felony under state law. I think they assume having that many makes you a dealer.
Pete, you also see our CSHS alum Charlie Jones made the list. The beautiful people stay beautiful.
What the hell is a Kuffner? Is that some kind of kinky Texan sex toy? ;)
