Mailbox Blues

I didn’t want to get up at 4 am yesterday to watch the U.S. Women’s soccer team on the flatscreen. I got up instead at 5 am to watch the second half, extra time, and penalty shootout. I am not knowledgeable enough on this sport to second guess the strategy. We had our opportunities for…

It works. Commentary is talking about Gov. Greg Abbott’s migrant killer barrier. I am thinking the arsehole Abbott will probably etch another notch on the side of his desk. See this from the Daily Beast: Mexico’s foreign ministry announced Wednesday that the “body of a lifeless person” was found stuck in the floating barrier installed by authorities…

What a news day yesterday! A no-no by Framber! JV is back! “A screaming indictment” said MSNBC’s Ari Melber.

Nothing Compares

I watched it live. Commentary is talking about Sinéad O’Connor on Saturday Night Live in 1992 when she tore up the photo of the Pope. I was like what is up with that. I was not upset, rather curious. I later found out why and I respected her.  Nothing compared to her for sure. She…

Commentary wasn’t for the HISD takeover. I wasn’t surprised it happened though.  I also wasn’t going to moan and groan. I want our HISD back in our hands.  Hopefully, the new superintendent and Board of Managers make moves to get HISD back on track and it was off track. Don’t kid yourself or me. See…
