Good Friday
Commentary will spend much of Good Friday taking my Dad to his primary care doctor. A regular check-up so to speak. Go to Baytown, take him to his appointment, then take him back to Baytown. On Easter Sunday, I will spend some time at my Dad’s, then go over to One of My Best Friend’s…
Read MoreAbbott’s Border Mess
Commentary said this yesterday: Dumbarse GOP Gov. Greg Abbott’s new border inspection policy is creating supply chain issues in the country and not getting the results he expected. Folks have not figured out his endgame. Abbott’s game ended yesterday. For now. He became a national boob. The business community opposed him. Groups and associations who…

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine and it is not going as he expected. Experts have not figured out his endgame. Dumbarse GOP Gov.

Commentary got his second COVID-19 booster shot yesterday – outdoors – at Montie Beach Park, a few blocks from my house. It was administered by the City of Houston Health Department.

Commentary was watching the U.S. Senate confirmation vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson yesterday. When Vice President Kamala Harris announced that she was confirmed, folks in the chamber including Senators and staff stood, applauded, and cheered. Cancun Cruz would not even recognize the historical significance and walked out. Cancun was on the wrong side of…
Read MoreNot A Good Look for Local Democrats
You don’t need Commentary to tell you the following isn’t a good look for Harris County Democrats. The Harris County Elections Commission is made up of four Democrats and one Republican. Of course, this all started when they hired the wrong person to serve as Elections Administrator. I can’t fault Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth…

A Texas poll came out a day or so ago and 40% of GOP voters said they would never vote for a Bush. The poll also said that the arsehole GOP AG Ken Paxton was fixing to kick Land Commissioner George P. Bush’s arse in the GOP runoff for AG next month. Commentary is not…

My buddy for many years, former State Senator Leticia Van de Putte, was struck by a vehicle yesterday while in Florida. She was attempting to cross a street. She is pretty dinged up and her husband Pete said she faces a very long recovery. Get well, old friend. This is what I call overplaying your hand.…
Read MoreCalamity Day
Good thing Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo has good lawyers. On this contract mess, her lawyers reached out to the media to explain Judge Hidalgo’s side. The result is a front-page story in today’s hard copy of the Chron and an editorial in yesterday’s Chron. Go check them out. Yesterday was the 100th birthday of…
