April’s Fool

Commentary is having a difficult time settling on the 2022 April Fool.  Maybe the arsehole GOP Governor of Florida? How about the celebrated GOP Congressman Madison Cawthorn who has the goods on his GOP coked-up and orgy-ridden colleagues. Gov. Grep Abbott is certainly not fooling anyone with his fake deployment of the national guard. GOP…

Retired General

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…

CBS Dumb

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…

Denny McLain

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…

Oscar Night

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…

I’m Back

Wow. I have been off Daily Commentary for over a month now. Here is what happened, I had to switch servers, deal with issues related to moving and securing my domain, and a redo of my website. It took longer than expected. A lot longer. Thanks to all the folks who reached out to me…

Hoochie Coochie

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…

Bonehead Play 

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…

Lockout

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…

A Love Story

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,…
