The General is retiring. Commentary is talking about longtime Oilers and Texans beat writer for the Chron, John McClain.  He has an article in today’s Chron saying he is retiring from the Chron effective today. Wow! We will miss him for sure. In his final article he gives thanks to all the folks who helped…

Count Commentary as one who will be dropping CBS News watching. It is not much, but it does include Jane Pauley on “Sunday Morning,” sometimes “Face the Nation’” and “60 Minutes.”  CBS lost credibility when they announced yesterday that they hired Donald Trump’s former Interim Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.  The fella is a first-rate…

Will Smith issued an apology to Chris Rock yesterday.  Smith’s standing, reputation and credibility took a major hit. This will now be part of his legacy. Oh, well. Commentary stopped watching CNN on a regular basis about four and a half months ago.  Back in mid-November I started watching the Christmas flicks on Hallmark and…

On “Today” this morning, anchor Craig Melvin’s body language and one word – “sad,” pretty much described his reaction to Will Smith’s behavior last night.  Craig was clearly disappointed, you know, black man, black on black violence thing.  On one of the biggest nights of Smith’s career and he clearly blew it. I can’t even…

We’re big fans of transparency, but one Republican candidate for Railroad Commission took that virtue to a whole new level. Oil and gas attorney Sarah Stogner, 37, decided her race against incumbent Wayne Christian wasn’t getting enough coverage, so she drummed up her own — minus the coverage part. For a short TikTok video, Stogner…

Sarah Stogner is a Christian conservative GOPer running for Texas Railroad Commission. She has the best line so far of the 2022 Texas political season here:  They said I needed money. I have other assets.  I subscribe to Texas Monthly and there is an online piece on her campaign tactics along with her video. I…

We have seen over the past decade a disturbing transformation of the GOP. Overt racism, white supremacy and book banning come to mind. Check this headline from the Chron online:  We asked all 143 Texas GOP congressional candidates about Biden’s win. Only 13 call it legitimate.  Now they have forsaken math. One and one is…

This is one of many reasons I subscribe to the Houston Chronicle. The love story that covered the entire front of the Star section in the Chron hard copy on Saint Valentine’s Day. It was well done with photos. Here is how it starts: Marquitta Parker and Elisabeth Pabst aren’t exactly high school sweethearts. Though,…

I noticed yesterday on social media there were a lot of takes on sweet Valentine’s voting early and gushy stuff like that. Couples were voting early together and equating it with a romantic event. The Dean put out a Valentine’s Day take from West Gray with his lovely daughter Whitney. It got me to thinking…
