Annise Parker Elected Houston's Next Mayor


From the Houston Chronicle:
Annise Danette Parker was elected mayor of Houston on Saturday, winning her seventh consecutive city election and becoming both the first contender in a generation to defeat the hand-picked candidate of Houston's business establishment and the first openly gay person to lead a major U.S. city.

Congratulations to Ms. Parker! But I would like to remind her that it was probably the ever-important endorsement of the DavidDust Editorial Board that put her over the top. If you remember, DavidDust officially endorsed Annise Parker yesterday.

And in case you're wondering who else (besides me) is on the Editorial Board - it is a three-member panel consisted of myself and these two...


Although Dusty (left) and Ocsar (right) usually sleep through the meetings.
