The Minority Report

Well Election Day has come and gone.  Whether your candidate won or lost you have to admit that there is something exciting about the democratic process at work.   A government formed for the people by the people and working for the people (well sometimes).  For me Election Day was sweet…. My issues and my candidates emerged victorious, for now anyways, and I look forward to the City Run Offs.

Dr. Cornell West will be in town tonight for a lecture at the UH Cullen Performance Center.  If you have never heard Dr. West speak this is something you don’t want to miss.  I suggest that you be there….The Minority Report is definetly going to be in the house.

Today is the last day to Early Vote in Houston.  Over 40,000 Early Vote Ballots have already been Cast!!!

Who do you think will come out on Top for City Elections?  Sound off here….

With only a couple days left, it’s amazing how many city council candidates have not reported their totals for the 8 Day before election reporting period.  Some candidates also failed to file their 30 day before election reports.  This certainly isn’t acceptable when people demand transparency in government.  Is reporting optional these days? 

The Georgia Supreme Court finally overturned the 2 year ruling of Genarlow Wilson.  It’s about time Justice happened after over 2 years of injustice.

Mikal Watts has dropped out of the race for the Democratic Nomination for the Junior US Senate Seat from Texas.  This makes things look real good for his challenger State Rep. Rick Noriega to take on Cornyn in November of 08!  There is buzz about John Sharp jumping into the race, but we’re hoping this is not the case.  GIVE EM HELL RICK!!!

The House of Representatives failed to override President Bush’s Veto of the SCHIP Bill.  The measure failed by 13 votes, which means there are 13 people somewhere in DC who screwed children around the country out of health insurance.   I hope you guys sleep well  tonight…..actually I don’t! 

My man, hip hop artist Pinc Gator is talking down on President Bush.  Check it out!
