DAILY COMMENTARY

Decision Time

According to today’s Austin American Statesman, H-Town’s Mayor will be revealing his political plans real soon. We will know if he’ll be running for Governor, U.S. Senator, or getting snatched up by the Obama administration. An early decision by the Mayor will allow others to figure out what they want to do in 2010. Stay tuned!

How come we have to learn about the Mayor’s plans from the Austin newspaper anyway? Which reminds me, aside from Jerome in the Chron’s Sports section, how come we don’t have any Chron columnists of color? How come we don’t have a Chron Latino/Latina columnist? Which also reminds me, how come the Mayor’s nine member Task Force on Electric Reliability didn’t include a Latina/Latino in light of the fact that nearly half of the city’s electric users are of the Latina/Latino persuasion?

Everybody who is anybody showed up on The Dean’s List last night. The Dean’s daughter gave a very nice introduction.

Which also reminds me, on January 2, 2009, H-Town Council Member James Rodriguez will be the only voice for about a million Latinos on the H-Town City Council.

Commentary ran into the Chron’s Jesus last night and he didn’t have anything to report from The Yard.
