Jeannie Bollinger, president and CEO of the West Houston Chamber of Commerce:

But, she said, crime recently has increased.

"I'm not sure who's responsible for that," she said.

Perhaps Houston residents saw this an an opportunity to commit more crime to try to make it look like criminals came here from New Orleans.

I have to hand it to Kinky for not being PC.

Oh, I agree. I sometimes just don't get the swooning over untried and unelected third party candidates who talk good but have never actually been tested in office.

Evacuees, Quanell X said, are U.S. citizens with the right to reside wherever they choose.

Facts are funny things. They voted earlier this year to re-elect Mayor Nagin and now they are "residing" in Houston so they get to vote in our local elections.

Voting twice in the same year. Gotta be Democrats we are talking about.

"Quanell X, occasionally interrupted by expressions of support from his audience, told those gathered for the press briefing that gang members and other criminals from Houston partially were responsible for crime problems in New Orleans.

Now Houston is responsible for New Orleans crime?

Actually Mayor White (and Mayor Brown before him) have done NOTHING about already increasing violent crime rates in Houston. The focus has been on revenue generating tickets.

Especially with the foul ups at the HPD Crime Lab in examing (and losing) evidence.

Violent crime was up for 2004. A year and a half before Katrina.

Still doesn't mean that we want to deal with a swell of 100,000 evacuees who've not found a job in over a year despite many opportunities and special offers and consideration being given.

On the West Side it can be Asian gangs as well. Certainly were for some of the drive-by shootings in Houston's history. It is where the "new China town" was established (although it is comprised of Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, and Indians).

They're already making Kinky pay, and every other Texas taxpayer. They just switched taxpayers from Louisiana to Texas. They deserve to have their lazy butts kicked out after a year of doing nothing.

I'm more than a little _issed off at these teat suckers. They can't find enough labor to rebuild New Orleans, and they still want to suck everything they can out of Houston. Screw them.

"This is disgraceful."

Kinky's comments weren't disgraceful but the unwillingness of some people to see the truth is.

Houston neighborhoods relish diversity

Yeah, a few criminals, a few druggies, some law abiding citizens, just to pay the taxes for the others, oh yeah, diversity

"Violent crime was up for 2004. A year and a half before Katrina."

My bet is that the increase isnt comparable to the Katrina effect, which best as I can tell is swept under the rug or whitewashed.

Kinky does want to shore up the borders...thats good.

However Kinky wants to have Casinos built in Tx. plus wants to appoint Willie Nelson to a post as well. Rick Perry has some serious flaws but no way this Texan will vote for the Kinky one.

Kinky Friedman pissing off Quanell X is a score for Kinky in my book.

"This is a black-and-white thing," said Parnell Herbert of the Peoples Institute for Survival and Beyond. "


Is this like the "Church of What's Happening Now"?
