You know FP, the NYT cares about the happenings in Texas like they care about a rat’s ass. Allison comes to mind. Ike comes to mind. When this state is hit hard you’d never know it. When they get a bit of snow in the NE or a mudslide in LA you’d think the world was coming to an end.
So when the NYT writes up a story about a crime in a little town outside of middle America, cow-town Houston, TX they are “not letting a “crisis” go to waste.”
The other day I was looking over stories in one of the Chicago papers and I went to a link that had all the mug shots of people booked into the local jails. It was darkly fascinating to click through the pictures. The number of murders and double and triple murders was instructive. I think the NYT should write something about the murder rate in Obama’s adoptive hometown.
That last will happen at about the same time as subzero temperatures in Hades.
