Now with Mayor Bill White possibly moving to the race for Governor, when will Hutchison announce she will be quiting the race and staying in the Senate to continue her gloom and doom?
In 2003 the Republican controlled Texas Legislature ushered in massive tort reform requiring a change to the Texas Constitution by a vote of the citizens of Texas. By a very slim margin Texas citizens embraced tort reform to lower health care costs, expand health care coverage, [...]
This is getting embarrassing.
Good for Locke for denouncing the hatefest about to be unleashed by Steven Hotze and a bunch of so called "religious" figures.
It is worth saying this again. Rick Perry is so out of touch with everything he does lately. His comments about Aggie Bonfire returning to the campus is about as ignorant as it gets. The picture on the right is from 1994, 5 years before the [...]
Thanks to Marc Campos of Campos Communications for dispelling the awful rumor going around about working with Steven Hotze. He is not. Thank goodness!
If it isn't obvious by now, electricity deregulation has been a complete failure for the citizens of Texas. According to an article by the Galveston Daily News, Texas has the highest increase in electricity rates, 57%. Click below for a larger pic.
UPDATE: Peter Brown will be endorsing Annise Parker for Mayor at 1:30 today.
You read it here first. My prediction for the 2010 elections. Sarah Palin will seek the nomination for President of the United States from the newly formed Tea Party. Possible VP selections include Ross Perot, Joe the Plumber, Glenn Beck, and Governor Rick Perry.
Hank Gilbert running for Texas Governor has released a plan for insurance reform in Texas. For those who didn't pay attention in 2002, or haven't paid attention to your homeowners rates over the last 8 years, here is what Governor Perry said in 2002 [...]
Did Harris County Tax Assessor, Leo Vasquez, know what kind of poo Paul Bettencourt left him in when he quit just days after his re-election? Obviously not.
Did I predict this or what?
City Council Member Toni Lawrence has decided not to challenge ethically challenged Jerry Eversole. Why?
Time to pass the jelly because someone in the Houston Mayoral race is toast and that first person is Roy Morales. With the polls ending in about 2 hours, it is pretty safe to say Roy will end the night in a solid 4th or 3rd [...]
Cheney has publicly endorsed Hutchinson for Governor. This is about as disastrous as Lee Brown endorsing Gene Locke, Tony Sanchez endorsing Peter Brown, or my favorite Sarah Palin endorsing Rick Perry. (Although Perry actually wanted Palin, in a political way) Hutchinson responded:
Could it be? Has Peter Brown's personal kitty gone dry? According to a press release titled "Lots of money pays off" by Brown's staff, Brown is asking for money to continue his personal and baseless attacks against his opponents:
I didn't think this was a good idea in the first place.
Oops! I Did it again to your heart. Got lost In this game; oh, baby.
What does $640/hour buy you? According to the Houston Chronicle, $117 million in debt:
The Bay Area Meat Market and Dave's Smokehouse are right next to each other on Kirby road just one long block from NASA Rd 1 and they have some of the best barbeque and meat in the area!
Team Locke is desperate. Gene Locke's second TV ad skirts the edges of dishonesty claiming to be the only candidate endorsed by the Houston Chronicle and now he has a radio spot, by former City Councilman Jew Don Boney, claiming Peter Brown is buying the [...]
Leave it to Governor Tort Reformer, Rick Perry, to stand behind an attorney.
Alex Winslow, executive director of Texas Watch, has a great op-ed in the Houston Chronicle about the failure of tort reform in Texas. His stats are particularly damaging to the medical malpractice tort reformers who claimed that tort reform would lower health care costs, lower [...]
I'm not real happy with Gene Locke running for Mayor for a number of reasons starting with his promise of a Hispanic Museum at the Latino Summit, but it looks like this promise might be up in Sports Authority smoke. According to Bloomberg News:
Texas has some of the best mouth watering barbeque in the country. We have some of the best college football and education and our high school football program is second to none. But we have something that all of America can learn from: bad legislation. Congress [...]
Rusty Hardin has endorsed candidate for Mayor, Gene Locke. Hardin's lists of clients include Commissioner Jerry Eversole, Supreme Court Justice Medina, Arthur Anderson after the Enron collapse, Houston Sports Authority, and who can forget Roger Clements during the Congressional hearings on steroid use.
There might be a few candidates worth an ethics complaint such as C.O. Bradford whose reports over the last year have clear violations of the City's ethics rules, but before you write that complaint, realized that the rules changed last legislative session. And it might [...]
How times have changed.
The financial reports for Houston City races have been posted and the results are in for candidates for Mayor.
These are two of my favorite cars.
Dr. James Hansen will be the featured speaker by the Progressive Forum Oct 29 at the Wortham Center downtown. Tickets are only $14 and all seating is in the orchestra level. From Wikipedia:Hansen has stated that NASA administrators have tried to [...]
Richard Weekley, brother of the homebuilder, David Weekley, wrote an op-ed in the Houston Chronicle calling for Texas style tort reform as part of health care reform. Before you read this PAC of lies ask yourself two questions 1) Who does Richard Weekley represent? and 2) [...]
