Working hard on Labor Day so you don't have to.....


"I'll care for you like I care for my family...." Yikes.


Hint: If your profile of a local mid-level bureaucrat uses the phrase "Renaissance man" to describe the subject, you've officially moved away from un-biased journalism and into the realm of PR. (This fluff piece was so sicky-sweet it should have come with a warning for diabetics) Houston has no newspaper of record. The "no media" experiment is here.


Corporate donation trends reveal a lot about where the upcoming election is likely to go. It's like smart money in Vegas.
