El Jefe took over the management of the beauty salon when getting out of bed was all I could do and, bless his heart, he continues to be The El Jefe around here.

I asked a few of my real life friends to join in the fun.  Today you met Half Empty, who I have known for many, many years.  He was Mark’s favorite political blogger so it’s great to have him back griping about stuff.

You will also meet Fenway Fran.  She and I go back to the Tom DeLay days when she would sneak into local Republican events and bring me back all the great gossip and stoopid Republican quotes I could use in the newspaper. Like Half Empty, she retired to the left in politics and living locations.

Da Chipster says he will come back and pitch in a hand.

Anna the Geek added a button at the top about Mark’s social schedule. We’ll only keep it up there for a month or so.  She added a comment box so go there so snark away.

It’s still hot as a Cadillac bumper on a Houston parking lot in hell around here.  We finally got some rain last night after two 10 weeks of not a drop. Of course it came with 60 MPH winds and enough thunder to wake up two cemeteries. It’ll be back to three digits next week so pray for us.

Think of it this way: I still plan on working here but I brought in some pole dancers to make it more fun.

Oh, one more thing: Anna the Geek will be updating the website so we may be offline for thirty minutes or so while she does it. If you can’t get on, wait some minutes and then try again.
