The decade’s final day will be a slow one around these parts. Ten years ago I spent it in Vegas as some folks fretted about Y2K which never happened. We now have us five Dems running for Guv – so far. The H-Town Mayor, the fella with 10 mil to spend, a Latino, and a [...]

Fresh from the No Guts No Glory Department: The City of H-Town Term Limits Commission was announced yesterday. Check it out in today’s Chron. They will be meeting and maybe propose a change to the current three two year term system. What isn’t on the table is eliminating term limits all together. Come on now! [...]

CEWDEM put a scorching on former H-Town CM Gordon Quan yesterday over Gordon’s past support of GOPers. I’m sure once Gordon starts going through the Dem groups screening process, he’ll get asked why he supported GOPer M.J. Khan over Dem Ron Green in the race for City Controller. I’m figuring Gordon was thinking about November [...]

In this last week of the decade folks will be putting out their lists of the best, worst, most, least, happiest, funniest and so on of the last ten years. Heck, why not? Of course, nothing tops September 11, 2001. That changed everything for sure. Now it looks like you can’t even go to the [...]

The Chron gave us a Christmas Eve piece today about a certain Al Hoang, an H-Town City Council member-Elect. Check it out. He and his wife apparently hold two homestead exemptions. That is illegal. The Harris County District Attorney won’t let us know if they are investigating. It will probably be Pat Lykos’ call on [...]

This Christmas season I’ve gotten cards from folks with their mugs on them. I like them because of the message they send. I have one from CM James and The Lovelier Wendy with Jake who looks like he wasn’t going to sit still and wait for folks to say cheese. The Gordon Quan card looks [...]

In today’s Chron Sports section there is a story on the proposed Downtown soccer stadium. Check it out. Here’s from the piece: “The Chronicle reported last month that a poll of registered voters by Rice University showed opponents outnumber supporters of a new stadium by more than two to one.” I would attribute the above [...]

Only the old school H-Town folks got to read the front page story about the Mayor-Elect in the hard copy of the Chron yesterday morning. Commentary went out and fetched it off the driveway. Others had to drag their arse to the local convenience store and plunk down a couple of bucks because it wasn’t [...]
Grade to the Chief

The soon to be former H-Town Police Chief gave himself a grade of an A-Minus yesterday. Of course, the Mayor-Elect’s grade is the only one that counts. Commentary’s take on the nonexistent H-Town Latino vote last Saturday went statewide – sorta. Texas Monthly’s political guru put me on his blog – thanks. The Mayor-Elect announced [...]

“Let me attempt to thank you all for your help in achieving a victory Saturday night. I’m sure to leave someone out, but will still make a go of it. “First let me thank the voters of District 1. We had an uphill battle on many levels and your faith in my ability to do [...]
