I had never bought a lottery ticket before last Friday. I grew up Baptist, you see, and you just don’t gamble. Or at the very least you don’t buy your scratch-offs in a part of town where anyone from your congregation might find out you had sinned. But, I’ve never felt quite so down on […]

by Scott on March 27, 2012 in Audio, Houston, Politics, Tea Party, Texas
I stood in my kitchen at home in Houston and tried to assure a woman who recently had an abortion that I would be fair to her if she appeared on my radio program. As I talked to Carolyn Jones, who had called me from Austin, she was very nervous about what questions I might […]
