For a new year, it seems like old news keep repeating itself. Extreme weather everywhere, all the time. The south had a round of tornadoes this last weekend, and California is soaked, and expecting more heavy downpours (and the resulting mudslides, flash floods, and sinkholes.) Already over 30 mass shootings

And if California slides into the ocean Like the mystics and statistics say it will I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill... -Warren Zevon. "Desperadoes Under the Eaves" So, you say you'd like some rain, California? Outlaw Myra Jolivet lives in

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.

Was 2022 a year half full or half empty? It depends on who you ask. Maybe you got a new or better-paying job due to the worker shortage. But runaway inflation probably ate into that raise. Just when supply chain problems started to sort themselves out, Russia invaded Ukraine. Those

Christmas, (and a deep, deep freeze) is almost here in Texas. Don't forget the 4 P's of cold weather: People, Pets, Pipes, and Plants. Not sure what you do about those P's, but I know they're important when it gets cold. Get

LOOK AT THE CALENDAR! YOU HAVE SO LITTLE TIME! SHOP! SHOP! FINISH DECORATING FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! GET THE COOKIES IN THE OVEN! CHECK  THAT CALENDAR AGAIN!!! IT'S ALMOST HERE!!! LET THAT SINK IN, as the kids like to say. Ahem. How's your Christmas season

"One of the things I said when they called the race, I said the numbers doesn't look like it's gonna add up....I don't want any of you to stop believing in America...believe in our elected officials and most of all, continue to pray for them."

Suddenly, we're all about futball. (Which is what the cool kids call soccer, you silly non-sports person.) It's the futball game where the concussions come from head-butting the ball and not other players. The sports stepchild here in the states may be finally showing some real

"It's gonna be a red wave!" "It's gonna be a MASSIVE red wave!" "It's going to be a bright red super tsunami!" <days later...> "The predicted red wave, wasn't." "All those

The results are in! And surprise! No blue wave! But thankfully, no red wave either. Now go refill that Xanax prescription and carry on.

Do you remember the "In a world where..." guy? No, c'mon, you know the one. For years, for every single movie that came out, (at least the scary/horror/sci-fi/adventure films,) he did the promo/trailer voice-over. In a majority of those, the promo started

Houston (and much of Texas) is ecstatic that the Astros are headed back to the World Series. Texans are almost as ecstatic that it was a sweep of the New York Yankees that got them there. This schadenfreude was tempered in the fourth (and final) game of the ALCS played

Being Outlaws and all, we were worried when we heard that there was a new sheriff in town. And then we heard it was Herschel Walker, so we laughed and went back to watching "Blazing Saddles." * The midterms are fast approaching. Mail-in voting is happening, and early voting

Did you watch the Gubernatorial debate on a beautiful Friday Night? No? Why not? You mean, you have an actual life? You didn't miss much, and it was such a lovely evening not to see it. We made DeeceX stay home and watch Abbott and Beto duke it

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) stood proudly this week in Pennsylvania with some of his most patriotic American colleagues and unveiled his party's new "Commitment to America" agenda on Friday. This "Commitment" hearkens back to Paul Ryan's 2012 "The Path
