It’s the “I am a doctor, but not a physician” edition of local blog talk. Enjoy the links!
- One Hundred Years of Sugar-tude (Or Maybe Half Of That) (Slampo's Place) Could the Chron ditch the junior metro/state diarist and the Plagiarist and bring on this guy? Please!?
- Patsy's Playhouse (Life at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center)
- An all-you-can-fly offer from JetBlue (Houston Departures) If you travel to the East Coast much, this is a phenomenal offer.
- What Goes Around (Camposcommunications’s Blog)
Back in 1991, then candidate Bob Lanier (Commentary was working for him) told us he was going to snatch away METRO funds to pay for more law enforcement. Heck, he even said how much. The current crop [of candidates] isn’t really giving us specifics. They are just giving us tough talk without the details…. SHOW ME THE MONEY!
Agreed. Be bold, not timid!
- Interview with Robert Kane (Kuff's World)
- Interview with Alex Wathen (Kuff's World)
- Harris County commissioners’ personal financial disclosures posted here (Texas Watchdog)

- Boroughs of Houston (neoHOUSTON) Let the “borough”-style governance of Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole (under federal investigation by several acounts) stand as a cautionary note.

- Most Hated: Headlines August 1 to 11 (Offcite Blog)
- It’s time to be proactive about getting a pedestrian streetscape on Richmond Ave (Richmond Rail) Won’t it be great when we have all those shrubs (that METRO calls “trees”) in 2 feet spaces (and reduced lane/turning capacity too)? And Houston from June through September (roughly) still won’t be a pedestrian utopia.
- An Interview With BARC's Change Agent (Hair Balls) If you read this hoping to learn more about Fusco, you’ll likely be disappointed.
- T.D. Two still there, but here's what really concerns me (SciGuy) Another installment of “When Journalists Pretend to be Meteorologists.” Even though we kid about him at times, your best bet is to follow Tim Heller’s blog and twitter stream for weather news without the middle man.
- The Chronicle's theatrical theory of economics (Unca Darrell) Does anyone actually think the editorial board’s daily gibberish is guided by a philosophy or even much knowledge of the world?
- Bullpen's shot, and Cooper deserves blame (Chron Baseball)
- Houston Sports Radio About To Strike Out Again (The ClownVision Chronicles)
