Presumptuous Blogging: Things you should read (08/24/15)

Doing a little catch-up from last week....


Chris Bell hits Adrian Garcia on the Harris County Jail mess. - To whomever from the Bell Campaign is reading this blog.  You're welcome.

Behold the ghost of Frank Wilson. - The more things change......

Wanna grow an airport? Corporate welfare for all the planes!!!  Also noted in the article, there is potentially no document more inaccurate than a financial impact statement commissioned by a public/quasi-public/or private entity trying to justify their feeding at the public trough.

Let me get this off my chest. - "Another year of tread ON the tires" is a sports saying that needs to stop.  It's another year of tread OFF the tires.  Tires with a lot of tread on them are a good thing.

OK, back to other stuff.....

Anyone really think the 'heat' these politicos are feeling is really how much they'll lose in donations by taking either side? - Because....yeah.

Good Stuff From Evan - Who I wish had time to blog more but I also understand that he a) has a life and b) is sometimes just uninterested.  Still, when he does produce content.

The Deadspin: Why your team sucks (Houston Texans) is one of the funniest items of the pre-season. So, of course, the usual group of Houstonians who are perpetually offended are offended.

Ah Sid - I wonder if the TLSPM understand that their negative coverage is a positive amongst his base?

There is little more pathetic than the New Mrs. White lashing out at Perry. - After YEARS of getting outfoxed, beaten and ignored by him, even their weak attempt at a final victory shout seems lame. It's time for newspapers to seriously consider eliminating the unsigned editorial. Especially the Chronicle whose efforts are more lessons in high political comedy than they are meaningful commentary.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Dreamliner - Every time I've scheduled a trip on this plane, it's been canceled for "mechanical reasons" and I've ended up on something else. Every.Single.Time.

The light that shines brightest....  What Jarod should have done is get a job with Houston Metro.

This is an OUTRAGE!  - Finally, an expenditure of tax monies that we can all agree on, liberal, progressive, conservative, libertarian even.

And finally.....

BlueBell is coming back. For those of you who love your ice cream with High Fructose Corn Syrup and artificial colors......
