Yesterday, the entire DFW Metroplex became a believer in global warming. Yesterday –April 17, 2006– the recorded high temperature was 101 degrees. April Seventeenth. Today, I believe the high was one hundred…or ninety-nine…or some other ridiculously high number. It doesn’t really matter one degree or another…it was insanely hot. Mind you, we’re used to this […]
Read MoreDennise skipped church (don’t tell…) to get down there early, and meet the other elected Latino/a officials who would be marching at the head of the parade. I’m proud to tell you that she was able to help lead the march, locked arm in arm on the front row, alongside our very good friend, Rafael […]

Read MoreI’ve got a question about the whole Karl Rove thing that I don’t hear anybody asking. It has to do with answering the charge that Rove was simply trying to “correct” the Time Magazine reporter, and steer him away from INCORRECT information.

I have a memory of how I reacted to both 911 and Madrid, and I’ve been wondering if my reaction here would be much the same. Strangely, it has not been the same, and I’m puzzling as to why […]
Read More(If you have no idea what I’m talking about, read this ….) It really wasn’t bad. My friend, Lydia Bishop, set the whole thing up and she sent me the script for the questions ahead of time. So, I knew what was coming. What happened that day was that the time for the interview coincided […]
