  • Planet CHI Gets Kinky

    The Texas Cloverleaf

    I am not even sure what to blog tonight.

    I just watched an utter disaster of a Democratic TX Governor's candidate debate between Bill White and Farouk Shami. It pretty much determined my vote will be for White, though be it with some reservations still. Shami may be a [...]

  • McCain: Teabaggers are Racists

    Bay Area Houston

    Well color me surprised! Meghan McCain, the daughter of Senator John McCain called the Teabagger movement "innate racism" something that goes without saying. Also going without saying, but she said it anyway, is that the teabaggers are scaring away the youth.
    "It's innate racism, and I think" [...]

  • Inspiration and The Saints

    Somervell County Salon

    "The country took a well-deserved time-out last night from bleak news about jobs, deficits, health care, Iran and the like. Even if you were pulling for Peyton Manning and the Colts, you had to agree that the epic upset victory by the New Orleans Saints was the best feel-good moment [...]

    La Sanbe


    As I left the city limits, I thought I'd see a plethora of "creative" campaign signs littering the landscape from here to South Highway 77. I was wrong.

    The only one I thought was different was this green one (pictured) with a cyclist on' [...]

  • For Whom the Toll Road Tolls

    Half Empty

    Did you ever wonder where people got the idea that toll roads are inherently good things?

    Did you ever wonder how toll roads have become so numerous around these parts?

    I have, and so have the Fort Bend County voters in Precinct 1 who came out and voted [...]

  • Media quarters

    PoliTex

    FORT WORTH -- It's a little cramped in the media room for the debate. They've crowded more than 25 people -- and their laptops, recorders, cell phones and, in some cases, cameras -- into a rather small room.

    Then every once in a while, people with TV or still cameras come in [...]

  • At the debate: Enter Davey Joe

    PoliTex

    The Star-Telegram's Davey Joe Montgomery gets a round of applause as he walks into the press room. Davey Joe is one of the moderators for the debate, and a former Moscow correspondent for Knight Ridder newspapers, the Star-Telegram's parent company.

    Before his victory lap, a couple of reporters could be heard [...]

    Thanks to Deb for this —

    “Look, I’m not saying that that Rick Perry supporters are among the goofiest people on earth — no, no, wait a minute.  That is what I’m saying.  It’s exactly what I’m saying.  Goofy.  They have got a screw loose in their [...]

  • Political notes: Medina inspires rap

    TRAIL BLAZERS

    What is this flourishing of popular culture, inspired by the GOP gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina? First, as colleague Christy Hoppe notes, we had the camo man's knock-off of "My Maria."

    But don't overlook the rap genre. We have this contribution by Medina's campaign manager, Penny Langford Freeman -- alias, Penny' [...]

  • Fast Facts on the Bill White Campaign

    Burnt Orange Report


    Amid the distractions of TV ad launches, Republican nonsense, and absurd negative attacks, the Bill White campaign has continued steamrolling along with an impressive ground operation.

  • Brief notes on the Super Bowl

    Pete's Place

    1. A fine, well-played game featuring two superb quarterbacks with the surprises, to me at least, being that (1) Drew Brees outplayed Peyton Manning and (2) the lowly ranked Saints defense played superb pass defense. You really half to admire Saints coach Sean Payton's play calling. The Saints' victory seems' [...]
