Good Old Boys
From the good old white boy department, here is from a recent Texas Monthly story on Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo: “She has brought a very partisan approach to the office of county judge,” (former Harris County Judge Ed) Emmett said, “which is unusual because typically county judges deal with issues that are not particularly…

Texas is losing one of its best investigative journalists. My old pal Jay Root is now with the New York Times at their Albany bureau doing investigations. For those that don’t know, Albany is the state capitol of the state of New York. Jay is leaving the Chron where he was handling investigations. He had…

The Texas GOP clown show continues. The GOP Texas House Speaker is in Washington, D.C. meeting with folks and he tweeted that he was there seeking “federal reimbursement for state expenditure on border security.” For years, the GOP controlled Texas Legislature has been throwing away billions of taxpayer dollars on so-called border security and producing…

Dangerously dumb. That is your GOP today. We heard it yesterday. You know, Marshall law. Martial law. A Texas National Guardsman drowned in the Rio Grande a few days ago and dumbarse Gov.

14 years from today, Texas will celebrate the San Jacinto Day Bi-Centennial. Today we celebrate the 186th anniversary of San Jacinto Day. Commentary has said before about growing up in the shadow of the San Jacinto Monument. Remember the Alamo was the battle cry that day. So much history is out by Highway 225. Too…

The Harris County Election Board met yesterday and are moving forward to find a new Election Administrator. A national search will begin. Let’s hope this is a transparent process and not some backdoor deal we got last year that blew up in folks faces. Find someone with experience and not someone’s political pal. Good luck.…
Read MoreShut Up
Sorry for the delay. For some reason, I could not get on my website. I kind of wish everyone involved with this would just shut up. At an Easter Sunday gathering I attended, a few folks in the know were there. No one thinks the cases will be resolved before the November election. The least…

If you live in H-Town and rely on the city to pick up your black and green bins, most likely you are encountering delays. Here is from a front-page story in today’s Chron hard copy: For the last few months, Juan Sorto and his neighbors have looked toward the curb on Thursdays and asked themselves…
