First, the bad news: the lawsuit against the school is back on in the case of the bonfire collapse. The thing that gets me about this case is this: what would the kids who were killed want to have happen? I doubt seriously if they would see the years of legal wrangling as the right…

Houston Crime Report
Think the death penalty in Texas is a bad thing? Read this. Still think it’s a bad thing? If so, you are terminally stupid, not to put too fine a point on it. Success for one man in a fight against crime. The line “deputies said the shooting probably will be referred to a grand…
RE: Bill ties light rail funding to vote
Houston area Rep. John Culberson has followed in the dubious footsteps of Tom Delay by introducing a bill that would deny METRO the ability to use its funds as it sees fit. Who exactly to Delay and Culbertson think they are? King-makers is the obvious answer. Between Delay’s interference with METRO, his recent ramrodding of…
Time to Redistrict Texas
This excellent editorial in the Houston Chronicle shows why Texas Democrats ran away to Oklahoma to avoid doing the long-over due job of re-districting this state to match its demographics.
Minorities, Democrats, and Us
A minority view: the problem with liberals This is a terrific, well-written editorial written by Lionel Garcia about the uses Democrats have for their minority supporters. My fondest wish is that people who vote Democratic “on principle” will read this article and recognize the truth that it purports. Texas Democrats are building their own glass…
Street Racing is Bad
Duh. Stiffer penalties and fines for illegal street racing are coming to Texas courts. “When high school children were dying needlessly in street racing activities in San Antonio, I began to look into the matter. I discovered that it was a state-wide problem,” says the sponsor. Not surprisingly, Mr. Fischer is a Democrat. More government,…
Texas Democrats are back in Austin
What I want to know is if they are going to spend any time in jail. That’s pretty much all I want to know about those jokers. We’ve had to live with 135 years of their districting in this state, it only seems fair to give the other guy a shot at running things, what…
Texas Dems Hiding
Democrats continue to cower in Oklahoma as the Texas state government grinds to a halt. One good thing about this is that the Texas state house can’t screw anything up when there’s no quorum. It’s truly pathetic, however, that the petulant Democrats are being so childish. After 125+ consecutive years of monopolistic Democratic rule in…
Dems Run from Redistricting
A group of Democratic lawmakers went into hiding Monday to block a Republican congressional redistricting plan. What will they think of next? Hmmm, “our message doesn’t interest voters, so let’s run away to ensure there’s no quorum?” That’s genius at work! Somehow, I don’t think that’s not a democratic tactic that Thomas Jefferson had in…
Baseball Player Beats Wife Before Game
That’s a recent hot story in Houston. So the guys at the Chronicle took a little poll: Were the Astros right to release Julio Lugo? – No, he’s innocent until proven guilty: 23% – No, they wouldn’t have done this to Jeff Bagwell: 27% – Yes, if he’s guilty, he should be gone: 35% –…
