News Round-up (09/04/2024)

 The "Football is BACK" edition.......


Do you even BET bro? Some in the media want to paint legalized sports betting as the scourge of the modern age.  The data doesn't reflect that reality (although it does show that there are some groups that probably need to be targeted for help and some better regulation is needed) but that doesn't seem to be stopping them.

Get well soon Mack.

What's bad for the Oil and Gas industry, is awful for Houston. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that the business reporter for Houston's Regional newspaper understands that. 

Of course, it COULD be that he wants to see Houston fall into disrepair.

Harris County Government has become quite the mess. Amazing how far it's fallen in just a few short years.

Maybe they need to raise taxes to pay for their legal bills? In reality, Ellis and Hidalgo (and to a lesser extent Garcia, although he's on the outs now) have been pushing for large tax increases for a while. Hurricane Beryl just gave them an excuse to do so.  If you haven't started planning your exit from Harris County, you might want to start giving it serious consideration.

On September 10th at 8PM I would advise, for your sanity, that you find something else to do besides watch these two low-functioning idiots take the debate stand. You'll thank me for this.

Here's hoping Breaking is a one and done Olympic event.

It's official, everyone has a podcast now. The biggest issue with them, as it became with blogs years ago, is that very, very few of them have anything very interesting to say.

Dancing with the Stars continues to push the boundaries of Celebrity.

A disaster in slow motion. This is insane. Here's hoping they can find a solution, or provide some help, to these poor folks.

The Tesla CyberTruck is a disaster. It's not a truck, it's ugly as sin, and it's clearly unsound. Since only around 3000 have been purchased if you see someone in your city driving one you have just identified your village idiot.

Here's hoping for some semblance of recovery for Rebecca Cheptegei


And finally....


You should really pay no attention to College Football Top 25 polls right now. At best they are guesses, at worst, click-bait and fodder for bad TV & radio sports talk shows. (of which there are many).
