Our first order of tee-shirts have arrived! They are limited editions done by Fort Bend Democrat / artist Wanda Harris. Wanda’s wonderful drawing of Obama is shown beside an Obama quote, "In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about HOPE."

We only have 100 of these in limited sizes so hurry and order yours now! They are $15 each if you pick them up yourself.

Local Republicans get dunked

Not long ago, if the local Republican Party or any of the local clubs needed some funds, they would call a few highrollers and schedule a banquet at a swanky hotel. Everyone would dress up, Jeeves would bring around the car, and then Mr. and Mrs. Republican would enjoy a night of carping and sniping at fellow Republicans while pretending to like them. In the process, they would all open their checkbooks and, like honey from the rock, the money would flow to the local Republican Party. That was then, this is now.

My, how times have changed.
