Ed looks stuck in her gravitational pull
Ed is the biggest political dumb a$$ this town as seen in the past 30 years. He had huge name ID and majority approval.

Dude lost a very winnable election because he didn't want to campaign and has spent the years past on the industry group breakfast/lunch circuit blaming his failures on Trump.

So Annise has been spending her post mayoral years leading an alphabet+ group PAC?

Does she really believe in pushing "fringe" candidates or did she just stumble upon a very lucrative niche grift?

More power to her for making money opposing the white male patriarchy by pushing mentally ill loons or low IQ cretins with no impulse control. Will she push this kind of nonsense upon practical matters like running county offices? Probably.

Sure, but maybe Ed should've gotten over his butthurt about the astrodome referendum. After all, he was supposed to work for the voters, not the other way around. I think there's plenty of blame to go around.

Jimmy Barrett had Anise Porker on his show this morning, 740 KTRH, and Porker sounded very disjointed. It seemed as if she had no real campaign slogan or plan.

And it wasn't as if Jimmy was hostile to her or tried to throw her off. He didn't he asked very generic, neutral questions to her, and she just didn't have it together enough to respond with a complete idea.

I dunno. Maybe she just needed some coffee and another honey bun.

she could be the best administrator in the world and I wouldn't vote for someone who was subpoenaing sermons.

IIRC, my church mailed twenty years worth of printed sermons wrapped in ribbon and said that they were happy to send over the material voluntarily and would be praying that they would be used for the greater benefit of the reader's soul.

can't remember the exact verbiage, but it was choice
I do not remember this happening. Please cite the source.

This.

Voters (more than once IIRC) made it clear that they wanted the Dome demo'd and any idea of turning it into whatever Ed was jacking off over and was probably looking to make a crap ton of money off of wasn't in the cards.

He threw a fit, voters told him to pound sand. Dumbness all around.

To be fair, I think they eventually dropped the subpoenas. It was also probably one of the more unifying things thats happened houston, besides Harvey, because every church was pretty heated about the whole thing, regardless of race or denomination.

Parker isn't ideal, but you can tell she at least cares about the city. What she feels is best for the city vs you or I is probably different, but she's not going to use the position as a springboard for a federal position.

Same with Whitmire vs Sly.

And we won't have to hear about more effing treeeeeeessssssssss

I'd trust Parker, a seasoned adminstrator (albeit one I don't agree with mostly) during an emergency event a hell of a lot more than the woman that has to go the looney bin because someone said mean things to her.

The r/houston comments on this article are hilarious. This is all a revenge play because Parker is besties with Kim Ogg. One comment after another spamming that it's about Kim Ogg.

Never mind that people have been trying to get Parker to run since Lina's first term.
Hell, would've been much more entertaining if Ogg ran against Lina in the primary. Imagine the **** throwing that would create in ads!
I'd take Ogg over Porker.

No argument there at all. No fan of hers either. It at least appeared she began getting her **** together at the end of her term and was calling out the lawlessness the courts were creating with the revolving door of PR bonds.

Announcing while Lina is in France is just mean. That's going to totally ruin her taxpayer-funded vacation. She probably already had to go have a mental health break when she was told Anus was coming for her.


Wait, did her trip get eventually approved to be paid by tax payers??? I missed that if so

It always was, it was in her budget. The ordeal and vote was because she wanted to take her whole entourage.
If you haven't watched the video of her making the plea for the additional $ its definitely worth a watch

I didn't do straight ticket. That was the last election where I lived in Harris County and I voted for Ed over Lina. I may lean left but no way in hell was I voting for someone with zero job experience to run a county with a population larger than half of the states.

I cannot stand to hear the sound of Lina's voice. Every word that comes out of her mouth sounds like a petulant child who is about to cry because she didn't get what she wanted for Christmas.

like i mentioned before, I watched the last commissioner's hearing. it is incredible. incredibly painful just to listen to her. then throw in the fact that she scheduled a therapy session in the middle of the hearing.

-uses funds in her budget (still taxpayer dollars) to go to Paris, France
-asks for $23,000+ more for security detail (denied)
***move on right? No, must cry and submit a new proposal***
-asks for $11,000+ for a "less robust" security detail (denied)

Then tries to say that based on prior spending by her, and other county officials, the request is justified.

Waste is waste.

Apparently the "big name" who plans to join the race in July is Council member Letitia Plummer. This is the seat Parker's son is planning to run for.

Old Rodney isn't going to know who to support.

At least until the biggest check clears. I say biggest because he would cash them all first.

so who is the choice on the GOP ballot?

  • Aliza Dutt
  • Oscar Gonzales
  • Warren A. Howell
  • Marty Lancton
  • Orlando Sanchez
  • George Harry Zoes
    • Was thinking Sanchez, because its the only name I know. But he was endorsed by the chronicle, so thats a definite "nope" now.

    how do our many piney point posters feel about Dutt? Lancton seems to be the party choice.

    Marty Lancton.

    Also, if you're an R primary voter, it's time to get rid of Cindy Siegel as county party chair. Running D-held district court races unopposed for multiple cycles when all it takes is a small filing fee to field a candidate is completely unacceptable:

    Assuming a run-off bw Sanchez and Lancton.

    Sanchez has most of the Republican precinct chair endorsements. Lancton has Abbott, Mattress Mac, unions and more money.

    Either will be an improvement upon the current situation.

    Any union that isn't fire or police is exceedingly unlikely to support a Republican in this race.
