Eric, my take on Houston is "white" hat.

I've spoken with Antoinette Antonio, a West Texas television reporter who recently produced a series of reports on the relief efforts in Houston, and I've watched those reports. She recorded A LOT of transactions going on, but they weren't exchanges of money between customer and vendor ... rather, they were exchanges of food and clothing between private donors and evacuees, exchanges of room and board between those with a roof over their heads and those without, exchanges of information/names between those assembling databases and those separated from loved ones, and exchanges of prayers and blessings between pastors and displaced congregants.

If there is a plan in Houston to profit from this venture, it's being put together in a back room too remote, too dark and too filled with smoke for a humble, debauched harlot of the mainstream media, like myself, to perceive.

Actually, Jeff, it sounds like the only people who can perceive these machiavellian plans are members of the MSM. The rest of us dumb schmucks are too stoopid to perceive the obvious. <sarcasm/>

Well, the spotlight is off Them. How long can our national nightmare last?

Plus, you know...Texans with our boots and hats...yecch.
