The Houston City Council Member Radio Talk Show host has just put a bulls-eye on his back. Target practice anyone? According to today’s Chron, on his latest campaign expenditure reports that were turned in two months late, he lists 163 expenditures to entities and he forgot to include the addresses of the entities – a no no. He should be worried that one of his enemies will file a complaint against him with the Texas Ethics Commission. The fella is pretty much a partisan, he’s out touting his wife as a city council wannabee, he expresses strong opinions on his talk show, yet he leaves himself exposed to an ethics complaint. I’ll be surprised if he’s let off of the hook.

Speaking of campaign reports, the Chron’s E-Board has the same takes as Commentary on what info City of Houston candidate online reports should include – see today’s E-Page. That’s all right. They can take the credit for the idea.

What a difference a week makes! Da Bell’s great debate performance plus a new cool mil in the bank has now got him takings shots from Guv Dude. It’s good to be in the game.

Today is Friday the 13th. Hey, I already ran across a black cat this morning, errr, rather it ran across me! Everything is cool – so far.
