FYI: Commentary’s client is Graci Garces, candidate for H-Town City Council District I.
Graci will have her “Campaign Takeoff” at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum at Hobby Airport this evening at 6:30 pm. The Museum is located in District I. It is a neat and real cool place to have a political campaign “takeoff” announcement. If you are a Houston history buff, the Air Museum is a place to visit. They have a lot of interesting stuff on exhibit from the early days of commercial aviation in Houston. You can spend a lot of time walking around checking out the display cases. Here is from their website:
The 1940 Air Terminal Museum is housed in the original art-deco Houston Municipal Airport building at present-day William P. Hobby Airport. The Museum showcases the rich heritage of civil aviation, including the airlines, general aviation and business aviation. Exhibits include Houston’s fascinating aviation history.
We gave it a 6:30 pm start to give folks time to head over after work. They also have some gear for sale there.
The 1940 Air Terminal Museum is located on the west side of William P. Hobby Airport, near Telephone Road.

Yesterday CNN, AP, and Fox were reporting that an arrest had been made in Boston. It turns out the report wasn’t true. Here is what the Chron E-Board said about this:
Speaking of journalists, CNN on Wednesday afternoon carelessly leaped before looking when it announced that a suspect had been identified. Fox News and the Associated Press followed.
CNN retracted its report soon afterward, but still took a credibility hit, as well as a spanking from the FBI: "Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting."
I wonder if the Chron posted the CNN or AP story yesterday.
Here is the entire E-Board take.
Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the Dome. Here is from Chron.com:
The Harris County Sports & Convention Corp. will spend the next two months collecting and analyzing ideas for what to do with the vacant Reliant Astrodome in hopes of taking recommendations for repurposing the aging stadium to Commissioners Court in late June.
Under a resolution approved Wednesday by the Sports Corp. board, which oversees Reliant Park, private parties will have until June 10 to submit proposals on how to renovate the nearly half-century old stadium.
Agency staff will analyze any proposals received and deliver recommendations to Commissioners Court on June 25, the day the court is scheduled to consider the county’s capital projects plan.
GOP Cong. Goober from Tyler says that radical Muslims are being trained to act like Latinos so they can get into the U.S. of A. to create havoc or something like that. Here is from the Chron:
“We know al Qaeda has camps over with the drug cartels on the other side of the Mexican border,” the Republican from Tyler said on C-SPAN Wednesday morning. “We know that people that are now being trained to come in and act like Hispanic when they are radical Islamists.
I don’t know about that. You got to practice real hard to get the Latino thing down.
You have to be able to sit through hours and hours of novellas.
You have to learn the right way to climb on a burro.
You have to become knowledgeable of futbol or beisbol or both.
You are going to have to get by on rice, beans, and corn tortillas.
You are going to have to live with another dozen fellas in a one room apartment.
You don’t keep your dog on a leash and just let the pooch roam the ‘hood.
You also don’t fix your dog.
If you are a male, you better not control your temper.
If you are female, you need to strive to look like Sofia Vergara.
You have to drive in a car with sound systems no lower than a kazillion decibels.
You need to know how to handle a switchblade and steal tires while the car is still moving.
Get rid of the AK-47 and learn how to handle a leaf blower – our weapon of choice.
It is not that easy learning how to be Latino, Cong. Goober.
Former MLBer Scott Podsednik of course went to West High School in West, Texas and he smacked a dinger against the ‘Stros in Game 2 of the 2005 World Serious.
Our ace lasted 2/3 of an inning yesterday and we’re 4-11 and on pace to lose 118 games this season.
