Texas Outlaw Writers Newsletter: Would We Lie to You? Edition

FoxNews doesn't seem to have a care in the world. They remain the highest-rated cable channel, by a wide margin, though their numbers are down slightly from a year ago. We're heading into the election horserace, at least in terms of how news content is produced in the modern era.

I find myself putting this week's news together in a hotel in Waco, TX. And by chance, it was 30 years ago on Tuesday the the ATF raided the Branch Davidian compound. (More on that with Moore, below.) I was working for KHOU, the CBS affiliate in Houston at the

When discussing Wednesday night's upcoming State of the Union address, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy told CNN "We're members of Congress. We have a code of ethics of how we should portray ourselves, that's exactly what we'll do." What he should have added was Groucho Marx's axiom, "Those are

It's still cold. Shouldn't it be warming up by now? It's February for God's sake. And half of Texas is under ice and sleet warnings. Dallas has experienced "thunder-sleet." What kind of experience is "thunder-sleet"? Is sleet a verb? Can you be sleeted on? Can you conjugate sleet? I sleet.

Before we get going, the Outlaws want to clarify one thing. To paraphrase (kinda) LBJ on the eve  of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, "We shall not seek, and we will not accept, the nomination for a term as Speaker of the House of Representatives." None of us. Period. Put
