The Noise Machine (06/17/2010)

It's my list, if you don't like it, go make your own....


Because what Texas needs now is More running of government "like a business". Ummm.....


We're not going to BE any better, we're just going to do a better job at spinning what we will continue to do wrong. <------Loose paraphrase.


I'm sure you're surprised to find out that your elected official often votes in line with his/her financial interest. Could have knocked me over with a feather....


This is not news. Conservatives have been railing against the Bush Presidency since back when he was in office. (Contrary to what you hear from the InterLeft or politically biased pundits who want you to believe this is nothing more than 'racism'. It's not. This anger was there before, people just didn't pay attention because it didn't fit the narrative.*)


Whether or not this publicly funded private travel issue has legs will depend largely on the ability of Bill White's campaign team to make it stick against the Teflon(TM) politician. Good luck with that. (A better idea would be for them to work overtime defining their candidate, and his issues, to people who don't yet know him. Negative attacks against a candidate with zero expectations (even from his most ardent supporters) is a recipe for a 10 pt loss in November.) Hey, at least they're still Organic. (I gotta get on that e-mail list)


Huh? Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?!? You wanna talk about PLAYOFFS?!? (I guess the pom-poms were getting dusty?) This is a Texans team that is a serial .500 offender and who has many of the same issues as last year, a tougher schedule, and an unhappy star. PLAYOFFS??!!?? Blah.



And finally.....



Get well wishes to Gordon Quan. Whatever your political stripes, open heart surgery is not something you wish on anyone. Here's to a quick recovery.







*Just as there are some Democrats out there now who are unhappy with Pres. Obama. It's happening, but you don't hear much about it.

What a big wet kiss from "journalist" to sources at an organization about which he was forced to write a few, icky mean things when events and other local media pushed the story (stories, really) along. Another loose paraphrase: "The Chron still loves you. Rah rah!"

** Hey, at least they're still Organic. (I gotta get on that e-mail list) **

I kind of miss** the days when a certain blogger-turned-Bill-White-staffer would have angry online eruptions because he just KNEW that non-Democrat bloggers all got talking points from all sorts of Republican sources. I wonder how deeply involved he is in distributing these things to Bill White partybloggers now. Too funny!

*Okay, I don't really miss them, because his irrational anger wasn't healthy and made me concerned for his well-being. But they did provide occasional amusement. :)
