Friday’s Latest

I’m thinking that Fort Bend Mechanical isn’t going to be doing any business at HISD for a while.  Channel 13 ran a piece Friday night that says according to court records the Fort Bend Mechanical honcho handed off cash to three HISD Board members.  The fella also says that he was asked to pay-to-play at HISD.

Here is the Channel 13 story.

You have to figure that the FBI is going to be all over this.

Why would any governmental entity want to hire Fort Bend Mechanical these days? 

Robin Ventura is the White Sox skipper.  How many career grand salamis does he have?

The Chron E-Board is kind of calling out U.S. Sen. John Cornyn for playing games on immigration reform.  Here are parts:

"This is classic Cornyn. We know the pattern all too well," said immigration advocate Frank Sharry. "He pretends to be sincere about the need for reform. He asks for changes that are a bridge too far. He destabilizes the bipartisan agreement already in place. He helps to thwart reform. He votes no in the end anyway."

Cornyn, the Senate’s minority whip, insists that his amendment would improve the bill. "I think it will also dramatically improve the chances of immigration reform passing," he said.

What the senator is not saying is that he’s up for reelection next year and is worried about a Ted Cruz clone tearing into his vulnerable right flank. A stealth sabotage of immigration reform might inoculate him against a challenger jabbing at him for being soft on the illegals.

Here is the entire E-Board take.

What else is news!

Robin Ventura has 18 careers grand salamis of course.

I don’t know what to say about the up and down ‘Stros who now have won four in row after losing six in a row.
