Wong, Carwile and Wilson Pre-Trial Set for August 26 – Council Member and Public Want Mayor Wong to Step Down
Tom Chavez ,a city council colleague of indicted Mayor Judy Wong, has called on the council to consider appointing a new mayor at Tuesday’s council meeting in Temple City.

Free Speech
So I guess I’ll lead off by thanking all the little people. But enough already about VP Cheney, the Governator, and lastly but not leastly, our late but not so great TC City Council (Great luck for the recently enshrined bunch and please do not continue to screw things up around here.) And I could [...]

Wednesday evening, before, during, and after cocktails, steak, and dessert, I was living large. [...]
Louisville Recovery Time
So I don’t know about you guys but I sure do appreciate my recovery time. In fact, for me, the Holidays provide the perfect opportunity to recover big time. And world-class recovery isn’t necessarily all about taking a Louisville Slugger to the alarm clock or going Kobayashi with chili-cheese whatever all day or letting the [...]
Top Ten Santa Wish List
So the first part of this article might read a lot like the Santa column I wrote a couple of years ago. If it seems familiar, maybe you really liked it or have a copy of my book…but it’s probably more likely our great minds just think alike It really doesn’t seem that long ago [...]
