I have no idea - I don’t post around here much, now that excerpting is the norm and substantive discussion seems to have faded out in favor of “let’s hate on Obama and all liberals” two-line posts.

But he used to keep the Wham Bam Tram Collision Counter!

It was a nifty counter at that what with details of each collision.

I didn't know that...
Of course I'm remembering him from waaaaaay back, long before I moved to Houston...
IIRC, back then he was a rabid anti-tax shill, encouraging people to renounce their citizenship and move offshore to avoid paying money to the IRS.

Needless to say, I thought he was an emotionally disturbed kook.

But the Wham Bam Tram criticism isn't without merit...
Having seen the Houston Metro system, I blame the other vehicles and not the Metro for most collisions. (cars can get out of the way, Metro has to stay on the track.)
Nevertheless, I do agree that in areas like Downtown Houston, they should've made Metro either an overhead monorail or an underground subway. Traveling on the downtown streets themselves doesn't really do much to alleviate congestion there.
