I wish the old Houston Press was still around… We could use some of that old tabloid energy in Houston. The Chronicle is just too polite and civilized! The only excitement in it are the comments online from the certifiable types who manage to tie every bit of news–regardless of relevancy–to illegal aliens and “Nobama.” They're always entertaining.Anyway–good digging!
