Town Hall Meetings

Rick Casey (columnist for the Houston Chronicle) wrote a piece today titled "How to Hold a Civil Town Hall Meeting" that I had to read at least three times to appreciate. I hope you'll look at least once. What I find telling is that in congressional districts that are staunch anti-Obama on any level and have a republican representative (redundant in Montgomery County, Texas but I hold hope for all others), the representatives need to put forth no effort to hold a town hall meeting. Just show up (late, drunk, hungover, in golf attire from an outing with the Pharm-guys,......it doesn't matter) and parrot Limbaugh lines. Otherwise, you have to work at it and this is how you do it.

Immigration Status Vs "Life"

Maybe that's a bit much as a title to this post but I find myself less tolerate of this sort of thinking and I can't help that it's what I hear when I read it. You're welcome to make up your own mind of course. Regardless, A Houston City Councilwoman (R-of course) questions if the 24 month old child that recently died from "swine flu" should have been admitted to a Houston hospital due to citizenship issues.......go read!
