October 23, 2012 Sam Donaldson, former ABC anchor, is a 1955 graduate of Texas Western College (now UTEP), and tonight, he's back at the university to speak about the upcoming Presidential election.
October 12, 2012 MountainStar Sports announced yesterday that they purchased the San Diego Padres Triple A baseball team, the Tucson Padres. Triple A ball will be played in El Paso starting in the 2014 season, so now we need to come up with a name. Tell us what you think it should be...
October 11, 2012 Earlier this morning, I posted a blog about Triple A baseball coming to El Paso - City Council has voted to build a 50 million dollar ballpark to house a baseball team, and even thought there are a couple of legal challenges to that vote, we now know that WE HAVE A TRIPLE A BASEBALL TEAM!!!!
October 8, 2012 I just read a blog post from KLAQ's Scott Ronson about a plan to fix America written by Robin Williams. I gotta tell ya, I loved every word of the plan and couldn't believe that well known liberal, Williams, actually wrote it.
Well......
October 8, 2012 I'm a huuuuuuge Sesame Street fan, and there is no bigger celeb in the world that the Big Yellow One himself, Big Bird! But after he got name-checked during last week's presidential debate by Mitt Romney, Bird left Sesame Street to pay a visit to SNL to talk presidential politics.
October 6, 2012 Lorenzo Garcia, the former superintendant of the El Paso Independant School District, finally found out his sentence for cooking up a scheme to fix TAKS test scores so he could get bonuses, and steering an almost half million dollar contract to his girlfriend.

September 25, 2012 For years, there had been rumors of a lost opportunity to bring Six Flags to El Paso, but there has never really been confirmation that there was ever a serious chance at having one here. But it's fun to wonder what might have been if Six Flags had come to El Paso. It's even more fun to wonder what might have happened to our city if a lot of other opportunities in past had been taken.....

September 20, 2012 Well, he had us on pins and needles for a couple of days, but Mayor John Cook finally answered the 'will he or won't he' question about the Downtown Ballpark.
September 19, 2012 I was at El Paso City Council yesterday for most of the public comments, and even had a crack at the podium myself. So, did I crack open the champagne last night? Nope. Not yet. I'm still waiting on the Mayor to decide which way he is going to vote!
