First of all let me get to the important things. Bethany Arnold is celebrating another BD today! Happy Birthday Beth! Every now and then Commentary participates in the Texas Tribune Insider Poll. One of the questions this week involves college football. The question: Should the legislature pass a law mandating an annual UT/A&M football game? [...]

Here in Harris County it was kind of the usual suspects filing for reelection in the Dem Party Primary yesterday. It looks like we’re going to have a choice in the race for Harris County DA next March. That’s probably a good thing. Of course, I’m wondering how both candidates are going to deal with [...]

With the federal judges ordering new state house, senate, and congressional lines, it will be an interesting next couple of weeks or so. Commentary hears there may be surprises in the works so you better stay tuned! [...]

Newt is way smarter than Guv Dude and that’s for sure. Al last night’s debate, Newt was able to articulate his position on immigration and he held his ground. He made his point with sound reasons that focused on keeping law abiding, taxpaying families together. It looked like he even made Mitt squirm a bit. [...]

Chris Moran of the Chron had a piece yesterday on City Council District A run-off candidate Helena Brown’s take on history. Here is what Brown said in some sort of chat room: “… giving the need for the United Nations, whose leaders all have been communists.” Woah! U.N. Secretary Generals have come from the U.K., [...]

CEWDEM is airing a mini debate of sorts about the State Democratic Executive Committee putting some stuff on the ballot for the March Democratic Primary and leaving some stuff off. The DREAM Act, gambling, and college tuition made the cut. The death penalty, marriage equality, and legalizing marijuana were left behind. I don’t know about [...]

What goes around comes around! I don’t think the GOP is too happy with the new maps that were issued yesterday by federal judges. I’m guessing that they won’t be happy when the new Congressional maps are issued any day now. Greed is not good, fellas! It looks like things will be a bit more [...]

My friend Orell sent me this yesterday: I’m not happy about the Astros going to the American League for $70 million. I may never go to a game again. It sure doesn’t feel like the American past-time any longer when you buy a city’s soul with the Yankee dollar. How about Occupy Minute Maid when [...]

Folks got their hands on the H-Town precinct returns yesterday and tried to make sense of last week’s election. Here is how Kuffer starts off his take: As expected, Mayor Parker had her best showing in her District C stronghold, but let’s be honest: 65% against a bunch of no-names is nothing to write home [...]
