Pardon me but cut me some slack for having a Tiger and ‘Stros hangover this morning – sadly pitiful, but I’ll still hang with them!
Sir Paul is 70 today!
Wah, wah, wah! That’s all I heard this weekend from right wing GOPers after they got caught off guard by The President on providing the DREAMERS some relief. Some far righties called The President “craven”. (Commentary never uses the word “craven” but I do use “crave” as in have an urge for something so I had to look up “craven” and it means cowardly.)
What I kept hearing this weekend was that The President went around Congress and “usurped” his authority. The “usurp” stuff is totally ridiculous and bogus. The going around Congress is probably true because the GOP is not interested in immigration reform or helping out the DREAMERS period. They’re not, they’re not, they’re not!
Mitt Romney and others banged up Guv Dude last year on the so called Texas DREAM Act. They scored DREAMER points at Dude’s expense. At some point you have to say YA BASTA and that is exactly what The President did.
It was interesting to see that Romney didn’t rant and rave like Ted Cruz and the Lite Guv.
Here is from an article this past weekend:
Romney’s mild response reflects the political tightrope he is walking on the issue of immigration. During the Republican primary contest, he positioned himself as the most conservative candidate in the field on illegal immigration, slamming Texas Gov. Rick Perry for allowing in-state college tuition for illegal immigrant students and recommending “self-deportation” for millions of people living illegally in the U.S.
The President and Romney will address NALEO later on this week. I’m going to go out on a limb and bet that The President will get a better response from NALEO members. SI SE PUEDE!
I kind of thought this kind of stuff didn’t happen in these parts these days. This is what the Chron E-Board had to say (with photos) this past Saturday:
In various Harris County Precinct 4 parks, official signs on official sign posts declare "No piñatas allowed on park grounds" and "No confetti eggs in park."
Well actually the confetti eggs are called “cascarones”. Maybe the new County Commissioner will put up some better worded signs.
Check out the entire E-Board piece here.
The Chron had a story Saturday on former ‘Stro Jason Lane who now plays down the road at Skeeter Stadium.
The Nationals designated Lights Out for assignment yesterday meaning he’s not in the bigs today. How many 2005 World Serious ‘Stros are currently on a MLB roster?
Commentary has been talking about possible bond campaigns this fall here in H-Town. The Chron today has a piece today on what could be HISD’s whopping $1.8 billion in bonds campaign.
Stay tuned for more on this one!
The Chron E-Board had a take on pensions yesterday.
There was also a front page story on pensions yesterday and check it out here.
Now I know that the pension groups have their constituencies to fight off attempts to mess with them. What is the constituency of those that want “reform” and are they getting engaged?
Four of the 2005 World Serious ‘Stros of course are currently on a MLB roster: Wandy, The Big Puma (on the DL in San Luis), Andy Pettitte (Yankees), and Chad Qualls (Phillies).
Former 2005 World Serious ‘Stro reliever Dan Wheeler was designated for assignment by the Tribe last month.
While watching the ‘Stros, I was thinking about the new uniforms that the team plans to unveil after this season. I wondered if I would buy the new lid or lids. I looked over to my active lid wear and here’s what I have: the orange, gold star blue, gold star blue batting practice mesh, blue with orange star, brick red, brick red World Serious logo, black/brick red batting practice mesh, Colt 45s, white/brick red mesh, black open star, black open star Old Yankee Stadium All Star Game logo, black open star 2000 Opening Day, patriotic red open star, and patriotic blue open star. I think I’m plenty lid up.
The ‘Stros are at The Yard for a ten game homie against the Royals, Tribe, and Padres. I don’t expect much of a crowd for the Royals this week. The Tribe might bring in some folks this weekend since they are in second in the AL Central and B-G-O bobbleheads will be handed out Friday. The Padres have the second worst record in the MLB so figure on a light to sparse crowd next week. Hope we can make up some ground because being 11 ½ games out stinks.
