It's not just you

There is certainly far too much information that is considered classified, whether marked as such or not, out of an abundance of caution. I believe the point of contention centers around whether the Secretary of State should know better and know the difference. Particularly if she is communicating off the State Department server.

It's not a big fat nothing, as the OP contends. The FBI doesn't really have time for those.

Tell it to the FBI.

Reported by David Shuster. Is the media still to blame?

Same here.

If Trump is the nominee, then any Democrat has a realistic shot at carrying Texas. But absent The Donald, Clinton -- even with a Texan named Castro as her running mate -- still doesn't. The real upside is that a Clinton-Castro ticket has long, wide coattails against anybody, and for urban counties like Harris (Houston) that is huge for downballot races, like judicials.

All this would also be true if Bernie Sanders or Martin O'Malley were the nominee. So I may be reduced to helping Trump win the GOP nom in some form or fashion. That's how bad it is in Deep-In-The-Hearta, folks.

Sign the petition: "If Houston turns down HERO, the NFL must relocate the 2017 Super Bowl"

Kent Friedman, board chair of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority, warned that if HERO is scuttled, it could cost the city the 2016 NCCA Men's Final Four and 2017 Super Bowl. The NFL title game brings an economic impact "north of $800 million" to the city, he said.

"It would be pretty consistent for those institutions to react the same way if Houston were perceived" similarly to Arizona and Indiana during debates over anti-gay "religious freedom" legislation, Friedman said.

This is the most effective message we can send between now and November -- when the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO) is on the ballot, 'for' or 'against' -- to drive a wedge between the pro-business Republicans in Houston and the social conserva-- err, extremists.
