Pathetic

The media is just doing its job. Commentary is talking about journalists covering the Hill Country flooding and trying to figure out what went wrong. Yesterday, Gov. Greg Abbott participated in a flyover of the ravaged Texas Hill Country. Afterwards, the governor with his entourage in tow stood before the media to answer a few…

Beryl

One year ago today, Hurricane Beryl hit the H-Town area. In today’s Chron, CenterPoint purchased a full-page ad saying they are better prepared. In my book, better prepared means not as many will lose power during the next hurricane, and for those that lose power, power is restored quickly. We will see. _____ The Trib…

Definition of Idiot

This about sums up what an idiot is. See this from the Chron: Houston Mayor John Whitmire is taking steps to permanently remove a member of the city’s food insecurity board following racial comments she made on social media about the devastating flooding in the Hill Country that decimated Camp Mystic, a private summer camp for girls.

50-34

I didn’t lose my power on Friday. I contacted CenterPoint and they said the rainy weather forced a postponement to today. A CenterPoint truck with a bucket is parked down the street, so today is the day, I guess. Even though you know you are going to lose power, it is still a bit stressful.…

No Power

I don’t know about this.  I am talking about four dudes getting together recently. Four dudes. See this from a Dallas publication: DALLAS — Four of Texas’ leading Democrats met last month to sort out which of them is the best choice to run for the Senate seat held by Republican John Cornyn and to…

America Vote

This is America. We live in America. We have elections. We have folks who win elections. We have folks who don’t win elections. Commentary has worked on winning elections. Commentary has worked on elections that didn’t win. Two days ago, close to one million voters voted in New York City’s Democratic Primary. A fella named…
