- “It is not known whether the homeowner will face any charges.” For what? Missing the second guy?
- Sheriff Lupe Valdez says of her first term, “I would say it was great.” Wonder what qualifies in her world as “just okay.” The jail she’s in charge of has failed state inspection each and every one of those four years of her first term. And her own employees have endorsed her opponent. So, you know, ouch.
- Memories of grandma: Fresh-baked cookies, hand-knitted sweaters, and, of course, her beating on cars and cussing out “the people out that’s parked in front of her house and tell them to move their M.F. cars.” (With Aunt Esther mugshot goodness.)
- Define “cuckold,” and then find it in this story.
- Common sense ain’t always common, but Rawlins has it in spades.
- Via The Agitator, your Wednesday morning Econ 101 lesson. No, really, watch it. Now.
Saturday, there was an Obama rally in the neighborhood. Lupe was there. Talked to Eric Roberson and Eric Moye, who both could talk at length about the differences between themselves and their opponents.
Lupe’s salient argument? Her dog, who she pointed to and spoke for, saying, “Vote for my mommy, so I can keep eating.”
Yeah.
I saw Lupe and her dog at a polling location on Saturday in Richardson. She was passing out literature and talking to voters about the Jail (which is in much better condition now than it was before she was elected) and other topics. So, clearly, while she might have been joking around at the rally you went to, there’s more to her argument than just her cute dog.
I was already going to vote for her, but it was nice to get the chance to meet her and hear what was going on in her department.
