One minute into The Odyssey, a fire alarm went off. We’re all waiting outside, for the all clear. How many years before I see my home again?

Pretty great day trip to Galveston to celebrate what would’ve been my father’s hundredth birthday. Wonderful gathering of friends and family. My brother and his wife had T-shirts and cookies with an old ad from my dad’s political campaigns on them. Accurate down to the union bug.

These people are beyond parody or shame.

My wife and I are working through the seasons of "Elementary" and I enjoy thinking that Sick Boy woke up one afternoon from a night of drugs and debauchery and decided to take up work as a consulting detective.

Unexpectedly bracing quote in this @peterbakernyt.bsky.social story about Lindsey Graham’s pathetic toadying to Trump to stay in the game. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/13/u...

I’ll bet Paxton traveled to Iceland with his girlfriend to eat puffins.

We Texans love our H•E•B. I had to wait for a lot of kids to have their moment with the big guy.

Right question, Daily Signal. But you've got the answer all wrong.

Daily Signal story asks, "Who’s Trying to Dismantle the Founders’ Work on America’s 250th Anniversary? As America celebrates its 250th birthday, a growing political movement isn’t just sitting out the party but actively working to tear down the constitutional system." The photo is of Darializa Avila Chevalier.

This politicking on the federal dime is so wrong. I guess I should be grateful they didn't slam Biden and Obama.

Letter from Social Security: "This weekend, America celebrates its 250th birthday. For over 90 of those years, Social Security has provided financial freedom for America's seniors. President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Administration are not only protecting Social Security, but we are providing meaningful and immediate relief to older Americans who have spent decades contributing to our nation's economy."

It’s not surprising that Gov. Greg Abbott is so wrong on the law and the Constitution on birthright citizenship. It’s just disappointing. Vanderbilt should ask him to mail back his law degree.

When the Heartland Institute crows "We're winning!" on the politics of climate change, the world is losing.

Because on Father's Day you go out and do what everybody else wants — and pay for it — I took my wife and daughter and son-in-law and the grandkids to see Toy Story 5. I'm not ashamed to say it made me weepy and very happy. Also, we had those ridiculous shaking seats, which the little guys loved.
