Making a Hero

The Newest Houston Hero Disagree, maybe, we must. I will acknowledge there are valid arguments on both — indeed all — sides of this argument. And no matter where you place your bets in this discussion, the only certainty is it’s one we must have. On January 9 at a small but well-reviewed restaurant called Ranchito Taqueria #4 here in Houston, as diners peacefully munched on tacos and tostadas, a lone gun-wielding thug entered the scene. Wearing gloves and a medical mask, he pointed a handgun at the customers, threatening the lives of several patrons. He demanding wallets and money. The...

Oh, The HYPOCRISY . . .

On Nov. 30, a man named Marcus Lamb died of Covid-19 in a sleepy suburb of Fort Worth. He is a distant relative of mine, though I have never met him. He is, however, related to family members I truly, deeply love. My sincere sympathy for loss goes out to my affected family members. I know they grieve, thus in my heart I grieve for their sense of loss. The story of why I write this is a long and complicated one. I do not doubt Mr. Lamb was a sincerely well-meaning person, whose love of his specific deities and attached...

She described the “volatile...

The World Just Became A Better Place

A broadcaster acquaintance of mine used to say, and have on his old Website the maxim “A different world is possible”1. A variant form, related by a character in Carl Sagan’s sci-fi book and movie Contact — in response to an admission of unfairness — states a mind-numbing truism: “The world is what we make of it”. And now, the world is a better place. I know I will be called terrible ad hominin things for saying this.  And I don’t give a fuck.  But IMHO, the recent death of one of the most horrid and horrible humans to have ever...

Ted Cruz Needs Our Help!

Dear Senator Cruz, Far too often, I’m sure, your constituents think of interactions with our government in terms of what government can do for them.  I’d like to reach across the aisle to offer something for you. Considering that your participation in the false Retrumplican narrative of a “Stolen Election” now leaves you with blood on your hands, I thought I’d do something nice.  Please consider using the enclosed bar of soap to help you wash said blood from your hands. Then, hopefully, in just a few years, we can collectively wash our hands of you. Sincerely, Your ever-helpful constituent, Paul...

Deplorable America

Let me make it clear here that I am NOT condemning in one broad stroke every Republican or even every single Trump supporter/voter.  ONLY those who participated in the attempted Trump-led insurrection on Jan 6 and those who support — even subsequently — the authoritarian-style coup attempt which (by my prediction) turned deadly over one of the biggest lies in American history, that Trump, who lost the 2020 election by over 7 million votes, actually won. Fuck you, Trump, for all the damage you have done to America and American democracy.  And if you supported the attempted violent insurrection at the...

He’s a pampered millennial child who can’t handle losing and wants a participation trophy. He’s a coddled, out-of-touch elite who cares more about what his media friends say about...

From the Top

No, Trump supporters, I’m sorry to burst your disinformation bubble, however many of you are still sticking to Trump’s 2 main threads of falsehoods regarding the election and the current Covid-19 pandemic. First, the election.  Where to start? To take just one glaring and anxiety-inducing example: In the middle of last month, Reich-wing blogger Dan Bongino pissed kerosene on the fire of nutjob conspiracy theorists by posting that members of the Democratic Party will attempt a coup on election day in order to instill their chosen nominee in the White House, overriding election results and nullifying the ballots of Republicans.  On...
