There is a farewell story in today’s Chron about Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman who is retiring today. Check it out. I always liked her and got along well with her.

My pal Bill King has a piece in today’s Chron advising the GOP to move toward the middle. Here is what Bill says: “Many pundits over the years have likened politics to driving a car. The farther you steer to the right or the left, the more likely you are to end up in the [...]

Soon to be GOP Harris County Commissioner Jack Mormon has named my old pal Dave Walden as his Chief-of-Staff. That’s a very smart move. Dave has one of the best political minds around.

The Chron’s Columnist had a piece yesterday on the Harris County GOP Commissioner that was indicted last week. Check it out. All I’m going to say is would the friend$hip be valuable if the fella was not a Commissioner? I don’t think so. Who led the NL with 61 stolen bases in 2009 and 52 [...]

Think of what you’re saying. You can get it wrong and still you think that it’s all right. John and Paul That’s from Commentary’s 2010 Christmas card. It is kind of like my take on the dreaded talking points. Folks just start spewing venom out of their pieholes even though it is dead wrong and [...]
