    Hmm, what about yourself?
    Are you a man hater, a man lover or ... an idiot?

    I like to have fun with news stories. You obviously never heard of a "joke". For that, I apologize because you are missing out.

    She's anti-sports stadiums and that's super fantastic.

    Well, it's a little late to take that kind of stand, don't you think?

    You mean she can decide things on her own... and overrule anything, not listening to the people who elected her or her council? :confused:

    Until the pics were posted, I had no idea she had children.

    Anyway, I expect her to be a big step down from Bill White. Fortunately for her, that means she has to be merely competent to impress.

    As for the first she established, I am shocked Houston hadn't elected a Rice alum earlier.

    Better to be open than the close-minded, bigots, and teapartyers the rest of the nation views us as.

    Part of why I like Annise is that her sexual orientation has never really been an issue to her. She just keeps on keeping on. People have tried to make it a big deal, but that has never really worked.

    I'm sure the carpet at City Hall will be much cleaner now.

    :( Can we call each other "joto" or "maricón" any more? :( Is she going to outlaw that?

    Evertime I hear ... first openly gay mayor ... I think that it is a subtle chide at our former closeted gay mayors ... of which I think there have been two.

    I'm an ignoramous when it comes to politics, but I'll just ask one question. Is this person able to do the job? Assuming they are the least bit competent, who cares if they are gay?
