You're right about Houston never having a shot anyway. It's too hot and humid here. As for Lee Brown, what an idiot and for once I thank God for term limits.
Houston is not an "A-list" city. When our basketball team won the NBA championship, Sports Illustrated made it a regional "alternate cover" issue. Had New York won, it would've been on the cover.
Regarding term limits, the mayor's minions have been trying (but not effectively) to overturn turn limits.
Had it not been for term limits, we may have had Bob Lanier himself rather than Mayor Bob's puppet.
Mayor Bob has been running polls to see what candidates may be good to run in 2003. Why would a former mayor, outside of the operation, care?
