It goes without saying that some days or weeks are more eventful and consequential than others, and that we often don’t fully appreciate the full impact of such moments in time until long after they occur. As I have been trying to make sense of everything I have witnessed over the last 10 days, a [...]
Will we let more cowbell deliver Harris County to the Left?
April 30, 2013 By 7 Comments
On the heels of David Jennings’ pointed article on Chris Busby’s recent experience before the Harris County Republican Party Vacancy Committee, Chris Busby’s follow-up, and buzz and comments among activists, is there more to say? Yeah. Lots. Let’s keep talking. There’s always tension between political activists, and their party’s candidates and officeholders. Activists advance principles. [...]
Harris County Department of Education should remain open
April 4, 2013 By 14 Comments
For several years in Harris County Republican circles, there has been a movement to eliminate the Harris County Department of Education. As I noted earlier, this year State Rep. Debbie Riddle has filed a bill in the state legislature to do just that. The question is: is she right? Should the Harris County Department of [...]

Harris County Republican Party: Circle the wagons and fire on the count of 3!
November 10, 2012 By
Too bad that they are choosing to point their guns inward instead of outward. In arguably the most bizarre political attack of a bizarre, very long election season in Harris County, Sen. Dan Patrick and former Tax Assessor Collector Paul Bettencourt are using the raw emotions of a few losing candidates and their supporters to [...]
SD 6: RW Bray – it’s time to start agitating a few people
November 3, 2012 By
I love this ad for RW Bray, a Republican who is trying to do the unthinkable and win a Texas State Senate race in a district with a long time incumbent that was drawn to satisfy Democrats. Why do I like it? Because Bray is one of the many ‘new breed” in the Harris County [...]
Big Jolly goes phone banking!

Whoo Hoo! I went down to the Harris County Republican Headquarters on Richmond and joined in the fun! Yeah, yeah, that’s cool. I wouldn’t have believed it either except that I was there and I have a picture to prove it! Hey, nothing to it! No one cursed me out or anything. Look, if I [...]
Harris County West Side Republican Headquarters
September 24, 2012 By
As I noted here, today was the grand opening of the West Side Republican headquarters. I must say that Commissioner Steve Radack really came through – the office is perfectly located and is huge! Think about it: You can volunteer in the morning, then head over to Edd Hendee’s Taste of Texas for lunch! You [...]
Steve Radack to Harris County Republicans: get off your butt and do something
September 21, 2012 By
Harris County Precinct 3 Commissioner Steve Radack was the featured speaker at the Downtown Houston Pachyderm Club yesterday. He talked about a wide range of subjects but his warning about the November election is the one that stuck with me because I’ve been saying the same thing. We must overcome the weakness of the Harris [...]
