If you are like Commentary and have to watch the H-Town City Council meetings on the tube, you know then that CM Jolanda Jones certainly gets her share of air time. You have also noticed that for the last couple of months or so she has been wearing these long feathery things that dangle off [...]

Here is what was sent to me yesterday: Dear Marc Campos: Did anyone ask the General (Ricardo Sanchez) about Abu Ghraib? If so, I’d like to know what he said. In talking to several groups of Democrats, that’s the one question which keeps coming up about whether they want to support him. Because of that [...]

This past weekend, Commentary attended the Latino Vote Summit that was held in San Antonio. Around 40 Latino activists and leaders from throughout the Lone Star State attended the Summit. We got to hear from Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez, Democratic Candidate for U.S. Senator. I was very impressed with the General. He’s articulate and to [...]

Now that Burkablog has gone out on a limb and predicted that Guv Dude will be the 2012 GOP nominee for prez, one would think that maybe Dems here in Harris County would maybe put together a working group to start figuring out how Dude’s place on the top of the ballot would impact the [...]

“Let the joyous news be spread, the wicked old red light cameras at last are dead!” That’s kind of what the Kubosh fella said yesterday after the H-Town City Council voted yesterday 13-1 to pull the plug on the red light cameras. Balls of Holly was the only no vote and CM Oliver Pennington was [...]

Yesterday’s H-Town City Council meeting was must see TV for sure. My old pal George Hittner (the red light camera company’s – ATS – lawyer) got up to call out the H-Town City Attorney. George claimed that the City Attorney tried to snooker him during the negotiations. The City Attorney denied George’s claim. George kept [...]

Burkablog has a good take on a story that was in Politico the other day about trial lawyers getting ready to dump on Guv Dude by creating a super Pac and funding it with millions of dollars. Check out the Politico story here. Burkablog thinks it is a real bad idea and here is what [...]

Go here if you want to hear the latest from the H-Town Mayor on the red light camera mess. I think you will get your questions answered for now. There is no word on how the mediation went this weekend. 23 years ago today, B-G-O hit his first career dinger against the Cubbies at Wrigley. [...]

Commentary will watch the special called City Council meeting this morning on the tube on the red light camera issue. Commentary got some questions yesterday from folks wanting to know the consultants that the red light camera company hired last year to fight to keep the cameras.
