Everything old is new again…

An unpopular foriegn war going on, which the left sees as un-winnable.
The DOJ is being heavily politicized, ignoring friends of the president and punishing his foes.
High unemployment, low growth, and inflation is on the way up — stagflation.
The occupant of the White House is unpopular, spiteful, and operates (at best) on the borders of legality.
That president is dealing with a hostile congress that is trying to cripple his programs.
The vice-president is seen as a bumbling fool.
Foreign powers hostile to us don’t consider us credible, and our allies are wavering.

Sigh, how are we ever going to get Nixon out of the White House?

Oh wait, Dan Rather is in the president’s corner this time… well, that’s one change, not for the better.

Per the City of Houston, the drainage projects will be discussed at CIP meetings during February and March. Sorry for the formatting. Here’s the schedule. Note that it’s in order by council district,not date. Also note that none of the at-large council members are holding such meetings. Don’t see any reason to, or afraid to step on their district bretheren’s toes? Still it’s a shame they can’t do a better job of meeting their constituents.

These meetings are starting this MONDAY NIGHT 2/14.

2011 CIP Public Meetings Schedule
