Plenty, plenty, plenty. Many of them consider themselves Christian. In second grade my daughter came to the defense of a boy who was being teased for dressing in pink, Barbie-themed stuff. In fourth grade she was told by a classmate “I don’t think I can be friends with someone who doesn’t go to church.” In seventh…

That is the stupidest strategy ever. It is a bit reckless to stereotypically assume all Hispanics and Asians will vote Democrat.

Not so much fear as much as a feeling of impending, inevitable doom. I think this movie may be in part responsible for the Gen-X “fuck it” attitude.

I was fourteen when this movie came out. This was the year we finally got cable TV in Valle Arriba Heights, but I cannot recall if we watched it in English in a US ABC affiliate, or if it was dubbed in Spanish and shown in a local channel. I frankly only remember the mushroom cloud, and the feeling of being screwed…

Some still take perverse pride in the unregulated/unrestricted thing. I feel that has to take a backseat to safety, but there’s no convincing some folks.

I watched The Ides of March on Hulu last night and found myself thinking Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have been an awesome Bannon in the inevitable Trump clusterfuck movie.

That is pretty awful, and not at all surprising. Newer houses also have smaller yards, so there is even less of a barrier between the street and our front doors.
I cringe when I go down 99 and see all that land in Cypress, knowing it’s going to become part of a master planned community, or the satellite strip malls.

I moved to Houston in the year 2000, a divorcee with a 2 year-old daughter, looking for a fresh start. Growing up in Puerto Rico, where hurricanes were a fairly common occurrence, I thought I had seen everything, that things couldn’t be any worse here. Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 made me reconsider, but where I was…

I am still grey. Damn it. I can’t win. I know whining about Kinja is old by now, but I am still grey, and I lost my AV club comment history, and I can’t see my old Kinja comments either.

I happened to catch TDK last week, and it has held up pretty well (much better than my memory of it), except for that weird voice thing Bale does.

Besides the fact that this feels weird and too much like being back on Gawker, my Disqus login and my previously existing, barely used Kinja account were both linked to my twitter ID, and I could not claim my account. No worries, I thought. I’ll just login to Kinja and forget Disqus.I don’t usually post much anyway.…

In all seriousness, thanks for your coverage on this. I have posted links to many of your articles on Komen's Facebook Wall. I am sure they get deleted, but hopefully a few people get to see them and come here for more.

I don't eat turkey often, so I enjoy cooking it on Thanksgiving, and injecting it with butter, wine and adobo the day before. It always turns out tasty. We also serve ham. I save the pernil for Christmas Eve.

It is absolutely appalling, and I think the email is true. Something about the fact that both news items were reported by The Houston Chronicle on the exact same day in 2008 makes the email ring true to me, as if these "buddies" were just commenting on the hottest topics of the day.

I guess technically one of them was not killed by the police, but died when the car she was driving crashed. Still, my point is still valid, right?

Regardless of the race of the perps, the email author is celebrating the fact that they both got killed by the police. Sadly, that is both abominable and not surprising.

If the emails are legitimate, I am amazed at the nonchalance with which our local law enforcement displays their bigotry among peers and friends.

Some companies should not have their security staff misrepresent themselves and coerce people into illegal searches of their homes.

I blame Starz for that, and Davies for squandering the chance to tell a compelling tale. The whole premise was badly conceived, whether it lasts 5 episodes or 10. And don't get me started on all the ugly stereotypes.
