Common Sense

I know that anti-abortion protestors can be obtrusive and obnoxious, but I am against spraying 70-year-old women in the face with…
Wait a minute. I don’t really like old people. Fuck ‘em; and fuck this bitch who had nothing better to do than stand in the middle of the road annoying people. Fuck Joe Prickscrotum, too. […]

It’s a dated story, but the copyrighted coverage of the Waco Tribune Herald on Downtown Waco, Inc.’s recent fiduciary challenges deserves mention here.
Crux: The organization’s board initiated an internal investigation that has grown to a criminal investigation by the Waco Police Department after the potential of misappropriations surfaced this year. All this followed the retirement […]

All right, if hippies really want to they can.
Election Day Poll Workers Needed
We still need a few additional poll workers (Alternate Election Judges) to work Election Day, November 7. The hours will be from approximately 6:45 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. There will be an Election Judge and a clerk to assist with the election […]

Two great pollution stories today:
No. 1: There was a train derailment a few hours ago in Crawford. Since then just about everyone with a day off has called into the newsroom asking if we had heard about it and if we were on top of it. Like the only people in the world that wouldn’t […]

I didn’t read the actual paper for Monday, I left early last night to go home. But when I read the letters to the editor online, this one struck me as being overtly racist. His line of demarcation for when things turned bad in Waco ISD is integration in the 1960s.
Don’t diss old-time Wacoans

That’s the saddest excuse for a headline I’ve ever written. But, reader LDiablo really wants me to talk about the race with Show Time strip club bouncer Richard Fry as a write-in candidate for McLennan County Judge.
Jim Lewis made a big move to the Republican Party before refiling to run in late December. That left […]

Commentor LDiablo alluded to the local controversy about the McLennan County Commissioners Court deciding to give themselves a big raise. They had already voted on giving all county workers a 3% cost-of-living increase, but their own pay hike is four times that.
The public outcry has been huge, and today, all but one commissioner decided to […]

Really, the McLennan County Commissioners Court is so full of drama, it should be on TV. We could lock them all in a house and put hidden cameras everywhere. It would be better than the Surreal Life! This week’s episode: Every dog has his day.
McLennan County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to adopt an order barring […]

I love Commissioner Lester Gibson. He makes an otherwise dull county government sparkle with excitement, like a soap opera. This week’s episode: Man’s Worst Friend?
Commissioner Lester Gibson had asked for a general discussion and possibly action this morning about what he had placed on the agenda as “animals in county facilities policy.”
Although Gibson went out […]

Do you remember last week when the County Commissioners Court reached a compromise on the display of their resolution condemning lynching and racism. Commissioner Lester Gibson wanted to display the resolution next to a mural depiction of a noose in the rotunda of the courthouse, the rest of the court wanted to go back to […]
