Retired Texas journalist / Newbie Paralegal now watching the weirdness envelop us.
Maybe this will be a Hamilton-Burr duel. One goes quickly, the other suffers for decades.

I remember how shocked the adults in the room were when they learned that Reagan didn’t read newspapers.

What’s the past tense form? Skeeted? Skot? My cat vetoed the “skat” option.

I’m worried about friends and neighbors during this pogram. Many people living here legally will get caught in the net.

Texas isn’t Texas without Latino culture.

No te moleste mis amigos, Gov. Ruedas!

I’ve certainly felt the need to hunker down lately. I retired from community journalism a year ago. I think those decade made me more antsy.

I live in Mark Moseley’s hometown. When he visited he would make practice kicks the high school stadium. When his foot hit the ball you could hear it all over town.

Newspapers too. I can help you get in touch with an editor (if you need it) anywhere along the Texas coast.

How about new rules for the pickup line at schools.
We have a dress code now because too many moms were wearing boxers when they came into the attendance office.

Clearly, she doesn’t light up a room. Getting a personality could have made them Dateline famous — but they didn’t do that, did they?

I can just hear Ed and Wilbur having a heated debate in the barn on how to get a handle on the kerning.

I will be indoctrinating several grandchildren on pole decorating and airing grievances. Thank you and the late great Jerry Stiller.

Interesting exercise, but do we need more uninformed or irrational voters?

During that 18 months, fellow inmates may enhance his punishment. Cops and sex abusers aren’t their BFFs.

Please God, no. As a retired community journalist, the last thing we need is a bunch of reports throwing in unneeded commas.

I’ll be shocked if Vic and QEII don’t rise up and choke people suggesting the microwave.
