JULY 25 / Mead on meritocracy

THE TECHNOCRATIC progressives . . . were (and are) upper middle class and upper class reformers: good government types. They saw their role as to curb the excesses of both the big beasts in the capitalist jungle and the . . .

JULY 24 / Maybe it was just bad writing and editing

HERE'S ANOTHER way of looking at the Houston Chronicle's reporting about how "Renee Vaughan of Austin mocked protestors" at dueling Trayvon v. Zimmerman demonstrations Sunday:

JULY 23 / Before the truth had put on its boots . . .

JULY 3 / "There's no denying" . . .

. . . that a program President George W. Bush "initiated in 2003 to fight the global HIV/AIDS pandemic has saved countless African lives," the Houston Chronicle opines today.

Oh?

I can point to a voice that denied it for many years.

JULY 1 / The Salvation Army of Greater Houston

THE SALVATION ARMY says 82 percent of all donations go to programs and services. The other money goes to fundraising (6 percent) and administrative support (12 percent).

It's unfortunate that not every dollar goes directly to programs, but that's . . .
