That's a photo of Kirby Drive
It runs through River Oaks, the wealthiest 'hood in Houston, and actually was torn up like that with a drainage overhaul a year or two ago. Still, the Photoshop could have been better, and so could the proofreading.
Everybody lately is crowding in on The Onion's turf. Not that this is a bad thing...

It's too simple to call Matthews an egomaniacal douchebag and a lickspittle to his bosses. All he really craves is to be an insider. He wants access to powerful people; not so much money and power for himself. I believe that his only essential persona is blowhard and starfucker. He's just that guy who keeps his great job because he sucks up to the bosses.
He's admitted exactly that
Here he is talking about Phil Griffin...
He works us one-on-one, says Chris Matthews. Youre never going to see Phil having a big group together. The two have the occasional lunch or dinner, and pressed for personal details, Matthews recalled admiring Griffins dancing ability at a mutual friends wedding. Professionally, Matthews says he instinctively trusts his boss. You may think Im tougher than that, he says, but inside I basically do what he wants me to do.
