Let’s prognosticate!
I know I said it already, but my predictions for the two Republican State House candidate runoffs: John Frullo and Delwin Jones. I don’t think Frullo will win in November, but I think he is best-positioned within his party’s primary.
My predictions for contested City Council races: Mayor Tom Martin will be reelected, Victor Hernandez will win District 1, and Karen Gibson will win District 5. No offense meant to the other candidates in these races. I’m not going to involve myself in the City Council races at all this year, so these are my armchair best-guesses.
I also predict that John Miller will be successful in gathering enough signatures for his race for County Judge as an independent.
Also, congratulations to Councilman Todd Klein, the only unopposed City Council member in the May 2010 election. Todd’s reputation for being approachable and thoughtful is well-deserved; I’m not surprised that no one challenged him.
As of this morning, all four LISD Board member positions are unopposed as well, but I can’t really explain that one.
What are your thoughts about the pre-summertime state of Lubbock politics?

Oh, yeah, right Kenny. “Resolving an issue” is a much more sophisticated process than solving a problem. I complement you. Using such language makes you sound so trendy and “with it.” Have you interfaced with anyone lately?

Sorry Milton, I’m trying extra hard to be diplomatic, which is hard because I don’t know what in the world is going on.

I do know that the two times I have been banned were both when I had exposed May in blatant falsehoods and contradictions. This morning he said he was present in the House chamber when that guy called Obama a liar, and he he regretted that there wasn’t a single “amen.” I was forced—merely in the interests of good taste and sound theology—to point out that he was one of those present who remained silent.

I found May’s statement amusingly vague. At first I thought he was just cracking down again. But, when he said something abouts comments to other people, it gave me pause.
May makes comments about other people—like Obama. Today’s blog was especially harsh using his full attack force of words like :thugs”, Marxists, ,etc,, etc.
Could it be that the A-J has simply gotten tired of the ire he draws through his blogs? I have seen some complaints in the letters to the editor.
Could it be that the A-J is going to pull the plug?

I don’t think it has to do with any blogger in particular, but with legal issues and a corporate decision from on high.

I think it has to do with a bunch of hypocritical scumbags letting May and Barfy get away with what they ban others far. But it is my understanding that the owners of the AJ are Evangi-Nazi morons anyway.
I will get back on. They cannot keep me permanently off. Too busy with other things right now.
