It is hard to picture an announcement coming from the Dan Patrick campaign that trumpets Latino support for his Lite Guv bid. If they roll out “Latinos for Dan”, “La Communidad Con Dan”, “Siempre Con Dan”, or “El Pueblo Con Dan” it would pretty much be met with a ton of ridicule. Latino backers of Patrick would immediately have to defend his “illegal invasion” remarks. It would end of up being a major press story that would remind Latino voters of Patrick’s harsh rhetoric. It will be interesting to see how Patrick approaches the Latino voters in the coming weeks.
Piggy Fikac’s column today is about AG Abbott not commenting on the passage of the H-Town anti-discrimination ordinance. It is probably a good move on his part. He is not going to win any new voters by jumping into the fray.
Hall of Fame great Cal Ripken, Jr. threw out the first pitch yesterday at The Yard. How many times was he selected to play on the AL All Star Team?
The Lite Guv is apparently a good sport about getting his arse handed to him by Dan Patrick. He say he wants to help Patrick get elected. Here is from the Chron:
He has pledged to help get Patrick elected as lieutenant governor – “campaign for him, raise money, make phone calls for him, whatever he needs.”
There’s no word from Patrick yet on whether he will take Dewhurst up on his offer, though tea party activists such as Tom Dobbs of Houston suggest not: “I think Dan can get himself elected without any help, thank you.”
Boy, talk about being cocky and confident. Thanks, but no thanks pal. Sore winners?
I understand the concern some folks have about the swap for our POW. I understand that some folks don’t think it is a good idea to turn loose some bad guys, but do we to have to have congressional hearings on the swap?
Cal Ripken, Jr. was an AL All Star 19 times of course.
OK. Here’s where we are. 24-34 on June 2. We split four with B’More. Yesterday the bottom half of the batting order all had batting averages at the Mendoza Line or below. That is not acceptable. We can’t continue to trot out guys that are batting .193, .208, .164, .183, and .195. No mas! We need to bring up Jonathan Singleton from Triple A like now. 38,000 plus showed up Friday, 29,000 plus Saturday, and just over 17,000 yesterday. We have the day off and then host the Angels for three starting tomorrow.

I am a hispanic, But an American first! Don’t know much about Dan Patrick’s supposed illegal immigration remarks but at this point I am open to hear what he has to say. Regardless of race, if you want to come to America fine. If you want to assimilate fine. If you want to do your part, fine. If you are here illegally and you have a problem paying taxes and following the law and you don’t have a love for this country..and you want a free ride and a handout then please do us all a favor and GET OUT! Illegal immigration is a problem and our border security does need to be addressed. There are people coming into this country daily illegally with no good intent for our country and with the intent to harm Americans! So as a hispanic, I realize that it is not always about loyalty to my race. I am proud to be hispanic. I love our culture and how our people do things. I love the richness of what we as a culture have to offer…the food, pinatas, we are family oriented, the music..to name a few…but there are many others factors to consider. We as hispanics have a lot to offer. But the downfall I observe, is that we are a passive people, too relaxed and don’t get involved and have this thinking that nothing we say or do will make a difference anyway…so wrong..our voice matters!
And by the way, you forgot to mention at least 85% of the city of Houston does not want the LGBT ordinance. City government is overstepping it’s authority which will cause Houston to spend money for enforcement of the order and I for one am appalled that those in power failed to listen to what the majority of Houstonians want in this city. Don’t be with the losers? Hey news flash..the fight isn’t over. This portion of the battle may appear as if it was won, but the war is not over by a long shot!
