Presumptuous Blogging: Things you should read. (07/27/2015)

Here are some things you might have missed.....

Houston's bicycling activists are angry. - Very angry, and their answer is typically to say that all car drivers in Houston should be taken off the roads.  Well, they don't exactly say that but you can hear it in their voices.

The TLSPM obsession over Ag Commish Sid Miller is getting sad. - It reminds me, some, of the anger that built near the end of the Perry tenure as they tried, and failed, to take him down. Bag of idiots.

Mrs. White has supported TIRZ and psuedo-government groups for years. - Suddenly, with a financial cliff looming, the power brokers would have you believe that they were pro-voter, and not pro-developer lobby, all this time.  To pull this off, of course, you have to ignore almost everything they've said, and done, before.  Just a smaller bag of idiots.

Houston's budget problems make for strange bedfellows. - Including Houstonian Don Hooper, who is giving Chris Bell's zero-based budgeting proposal some praise?  Strange times.

In case you thought that Mayor Parker our Councilwoman Cohen gave a damn about rule of law or due process. - You can put that out of your mind now as these two seem hell-bent on getting HER Ordinance pushed through by hook or by crook.  Damn the torpedoes and all of that. It's the HALV on full display.

Your weekly reminder that it takes neither brains nor likability to lose multiple political elections. - I hope Bell never stops running (and losing) because he brings a certain amount of humor to the proceedings

Ken Hoffman makes the mistake of thinking that, because he's a writer, he's also a financial expert. - It's clear that, despite knowing about fast food, he has absorbed very little knowledge regarding Houston's biggest industry.

Congrats Craig.

The Texans are Houston's most poorly managed sports team. Discuss.

Possibly the worst travel article you will read all year. - From a site that often provides some quality content unfortunately.


Enjoy your week.
