Stimulus money beefs up Special Ed programs. [Jennifer Radcliffe, ChronBlog] - It's a touching story, but not very stimulative. (Something not mentioned in this article, instead there's anecdotal tearing down of "those mean old football programs"? What?)
Texas ports taking big hit from recession. [Jenalia Moreno, ChronBlog] - So much to report (so little reported on regarding the Port of Houston etc.)
In speech, Obama urges students to work hard. [Tom Hamburger, LA Times via ChronBlog] - Way to tackle the local angle of the issue ChronBlog (Katy anyone?)
Cypress home hit with hate graffiti. [Bradley Olson, ChronBlog] - Given the proper resources a very good series of stories could be penned on the growing pangs currently being experienced in Houston's rapidly diversifying suburbs. As the City Center gentrifies, these minority families are moving outside the Beltway. Much to our benefit I might add. (Unfortunately, some don't feel that way. It'd make for a hell of a story should the media decide to honestly* tell it.)
*The key word here would be honestly, without bias, loaded language etc. Given the state of racial dialogue in America, and especially the South, this doesn't have a prayer of happening anytime soon.
Better wait a few days befor trying the Chron recipes (cont'd) [Kevin Whited, BlogHouston] - I thought that tasted off. (Heh)
Big XII wrap. Week 1 [Kevin Whited, PubliusTX] - Oh, K-State won as well, but I could see how leaving them out would be tempting. (Sorry K-State fan. It's nothing personal, my wife is a fan, born across the street from the stadium FWIW)
Beck/Olbermann - More manufactured outrage: From the right [David Jennings, Big Jolly Politics] - The "mini-Rush" boom on TV and radio is bearing its fruit. (And it's not very tasty to some)
Intellectual upper class. [Unca Darrell] - The mistake that these primarily Caucasian, primarily non-producing members of society make is that their automatically "right" due to crossing some mythical threshold of information consumption. (A far better determinant of intelligence is common sense, of which the Intellectual upper class has little. From my experience in dealing with them that is.)
John Woods and Gun Free Schools win Chronicle Award. [Katherine Haenschen, Burnt Orange Report] - Which is a lot like saying the Link Letter gave former President George W. Bush a lifetime achievement award. (Or that the Houston Press named a left-leaning blog "blog of the year")
Promises getting chopped up? [Stace Medellin, Dos Centavos] - Yet another call in the local InterLeft for a repeal of the Bill White tax cuts. (And calls for further tax increses? Not in so many words, but if all the wonderful programs and pet projects are to come to fruition...)
