According to today’s Austin American Statesman, in a meeting with the Statesman’s E-Board, Farouk Shami couldn’t name the State Comptroller or the State Attorney General. I guess that’s because he hasn’t given a rat’s arse in the past about state government. He also missed when he said his state representative was Rep. Senfronia Thompson. He [...]

GOP gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina is polling a little above 10% and some folks are thinking she might throw Guv Dude and Hutch into an April run-off. She participated in the first statewide TV debate a couple of weeks ago and will participate in Friday night’s TV debate. You know she’s being taken serious because [...]

On Super Bowl Sunday, folks from the U.S. of A. come together and watch the big game and the new cool TV commercials. This time it is going to be special because “Who Dat Nation” is involved. It is supposed to be a day when we all come together like who can forget Bono opening [...]

The White House reads Commentary for sure and has now decided to take charge by bringing in David Plouffe, The President’s campaign manager, to handle the politics of Democrats. They don’t want to be caught off guard again like we were in Massachusetts. I’m thinking that they want to hold on to as many Democratic, [...]

“We have to get a bill passed,” said House Speaker Pelosi yesterday or else Democrats will be failures in the eyes of the voters for not getting a health care bill passed when Democrats controlled Congress and The White House. I have to disagree with the Speaker. You are already failures in the eyes of [...]

There is a story in the Chron today about the fallout from Massachusetts and how it impacts Texas. Check it out.

We wake up celebrating the first anniversary of the Obama Presidency mourning the loss of Ted Kennedy’s U.S. Senate seat to a republican. This is a bad omen for sure in light of the fact that nearly two years ago Senator Kennedy endorsed Obama and helped change the direction of the race for president. Since [...]

How do you figure the GOP has a shot at winning tomorrow’s U.S. Senate race up in Massachusetts? I sure hope we pull it off tomorrow because if we don’t, national Dem leaders are going to be pointing fingers at each other and playing the blame game. The GOP will use it to build momentum [...]
