Well, now I understand how you could use the phrase “delightful political lineage” and Texas (or anywhere) in the same sentence. That kinda piqued my interest in the opening… well done!

Thanks, Shelley—to be fair, that's probably a sentence I will never type again!

So we can say that the Clay Goat Political Dynasty predates that of the Bush family, possibly making them more important to the social fabric of Texas.

I've been reading some history of the settlement of Texas and the war against the Comanches [Empire of the Summer Moon] lately and personally, I think it's time for a strong buffalo to come in and usurp the goats.

I think you're onto something with dynasties here, Rick. And if a buffalo decides to run for office on a more stable platform than guzzling beer, I'm all for it.
