Opulence Of Texas Tech

  Texas Tech has announced they reached their $1 BILLION fundraising goal. A chief fund raiser,Kelly Overly,recently resigned to move to Colorado. Tech bragged about building more buildings and creating more bloated positions like endowed chairs and even a few scholarships were handed out. Other donors will foot the bill for the revenue bonds that added more restaurants and bars(skyboxes) at SBC Jones Stadium. Texas Tech,led by "Hairless RINO" Kent Hance,has become a symbol of what's wrong with big government these days. Tech has hired two ex-players to coach college children hoping stupid adults will pay obscene prices for tickets and concessions. Businesses are also being huckstered to rent temporary bars and pay over $65 for a 24-pack of domestic beer. The opulence at Texas Tech should be boycotted by those fed up with shitty guvment.

The Drums Of War

  Amerika needs a small war now and then to keep stirring the pot of patriotism. President Obama appears to be ready to do the same thing in Syria as Bush did in Iraq,establish a mid-east banana republic. I have no doubt the mid-east needs more democracy but can the American taxpayer afford another military adventure. The department of defense uses these exercises to increase their bloated budgets. Politicians use these phony wars to build up their popularity. My question is,"Who's in charge?"

Travelling Carnivals

  For too long travelling carnivals have come through Lubbock. This month the Cowboy Symposium and the South Plains Fair will siphon thousands of dollars out of Lubbock,s economy. Both will leave town with way more money than they contribute in economic activity. Both of these carnivals will bring flies,mosquitoes and everything else animals carry. These carnivals will also hurt local restaurant and grocery store business and there is no telling how many of their patrons will get sick from poorly prepared food. It's not just carnivals hurting Lubbock. Lame hasbeens like Don Williams come to Lubbock to present second rate entertainment,sack up the money,sign a few autographs and head to the next city for more dough. Lubbock management should quit concentrating on entertainment and try to get more meat&potatoes factories and a few sweat shops making things.

Talk Radio

  Lubbock has the worst radio in it's history. AM radio has the likes of Chad Hasty,Wade Wilkes and Robert Pratt just to name the rubbish peddlers. Callers like BurleyO and Mikel Ward,both lockstep republicans,have no clue about improving Lubbock. Topics like smart meters and downtown renovation are over emphasized. This editor listens now and then but I've been banned from talking about public record and I've never used foul language or rumors on the air. Talk radio is as polluted as most sewers and the only thing worse than the talk show hosts are the shitheads calling into the shows.

City Of Lubbock Being Foolish

  City bureaucrats and their elected official garbage are trying to grandstand about fighting off an ATMOS rate increase. ATMOS has been a dependable,professional utility company for ages. ATMOS has to go before the Railroad Commission to get government approval for any changes to the billing for their services. City has no government regulation on their LP&L monopoly. Mayor "Country Club" and his goon squad at city council should let the Railroad Commission handle the ATMOS rate request and go back to trying to clean up the mess at LP&L.

  Mayor,BUTT OUT!!
