The Bad Advice Award goes to the folks that work for U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The Speaker doesn’t need a bigger jet – period. There is nothing wrong with flying from DC to San Francisco or Frisco to DC and stopping off in Omaha to gas up. It sounds like the Speaker’s folks got a little intoxicated with power and forgot to ask how folks would react. Well, you just made your boss unnecessary talk show material. Commentary did some checking and I can’t find anything in the 2006 Dem campaign materials that said we wanted an Imperial Speakership. Dems don’t need this kind of pub.

In today’s Chron, there is a piece about the Houston convention folks that put together a list of 10 cool Houstonians to say good things about H-Town. Commentary, Pam-In-Charge, The Young Political Consultant That ….., The Young Gun, My Best Friend, the Chron’s E-Board Insider, and One Of My Best Friends didn’t make the list. What’s up with that?

Commentary would tell folks around the world about the cool places in our burg to visit like The Yard, the Memorial Park running trail, and a nice round of golf at Gus Wortham – maybe.

The story about the astronaut woman that went wacko is giving the Astros a bad name. So from here on out, Commentary will call those people that work out in Clear Lake SpaceFolks. The Astros don’t need to be associated with negative pub if you know what I mean. It might hurt ticket sales which means the price of St. Arnold’s will go up at The Yard.
