Not familiar with condescension?
Yeah,
Just rings with genuine feeling.OK...
Not proof, but also no reason to discount it.
How is District 8 city councilman, Art Hall, not going to know his ?
He's not Manny.
I’ve read numerous times besides this recent article, on how Elm Creek is the wealthiest area of the city. I'm sorry that for whatever reason that is unacceptable to you.
I guess because you feel houses at The Dominion are nicer and more pleasing than the ones at Elm Creek.
Well bucko that just doesn't hold two coins in a rhino's ass.
Arlucas!

Ok, I have a question for you.
What does the city have in it's power, and keep in mind a budget, on what it can do for public schools that the state doesn't have authority over?
Well, gee whiz, it's kinda hard to ring with genuine feeling when it's a neutral statement...
And just because I refused to kneel down and kiss your @$$ doesn't mean I called you or anyone else a liar.
You need to review the basics of reading comprehension.
Sure. Been accused of it many times, too. Just ask Manny
I just refuse to make note of it from someone who has no standing to condescend to me.
How about drawing attention to the serious lack of funding, teaching, etc that a lot ofschools are facing.
Yeah, the cty can't do that, just like a mother and father can't get Jesse Jackson to talk to a governer about a private matter. Huh?
You're ass was wrong and you're too proud to admit defeat.Well, gee whiz, it's kinda hard to ring with genuine feeling when it's a neutral statement...

That's cool, kid.
Oh I see, you want city officials to be activists and forget about running the city.
You are so utterly clueless in this matter.
Manny, good lord.
I work for an educational non profit, do you really think I'm not in the loop?
You work for tips valeting.
Someday you might just be the janitor at one of the schools were talking about.
I don't valet, I work for an education non profit. Dude, I tried to have a decent "debate" with you, and it's impossible, so I leave you to your concrete porn. Have fun.
So that wasn't you crying about Tim not tipping.
Oh wait, it was.
#1 No, it wasnt me crying about Tim tiping, I've never parked Tim's car, it was about Manu.
#2 That was actually quite a while ago.
It's much too early in the day to be drinking that heavily.
I used to live in Longview, which is 20 minutes from Kilgore. I ing hated it. That part of Texas sucks, in my opinion. Going from San Antonio to Kilgore would be like going from a 5 star hotel to a bed in a cancer ward.
But, each to his own.
Oil Bowl is a grrrreeaaaatt place
I have bowled a few torunaments in the thriving metropolis of Longview.
The only good thing is that Shreveport and the casinos are about an hour and a half away!!!!

An article by the SABJ on the links between education level and income level. Saw this and thought it might as well get posted here.

Lowering Texas' drop-out rate would boost wages, study says
The Alliance for Excellent Education released a study Thursday showing that wages in the state would increase by $404 million annually if Texas cut the student drop-out rate in half.
If those same students completed some postsecondary education, wages would double to $808 million annually. If those same students actually completed a bachelor's degree, wages would go up by $1.3 billion.
Currently, 32 percent of all Texas students drop out of high school.
High school drop-outs only earn $19,000 a year on average.
If those drop-outs completed high school, they could expect to earn $26,200 a year. A person with an associate's degree can expect to earn $33,400. With a bachelor's degree, the average annual salary jumps to $42,200; with a master's degree, $52,300; and with a doctoral degree, $70,700. Jobs requiring professional degrees, such as a doctor, lawyer or dentist, pay $81,500 on average.
The Alliance for Excellent Education is a Washington, D.C.-based policy, research and advocacy organization. It is funded, in part, by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"There is an important connection between a state's high school graduation rate and its economic vitality," Alliance President Bob Wise says.
Officials with the organization argue that states must implement effective programs that promote high school graduation and postsecondary education.
"The gains realized include higher employment, better wages, and a healthier state economy," Wise adds.

Is there a big Mormon population in San Antonio?
Much bigger Mormon population than Lubbock, which has one of the only 4 temples in Texas.
One in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Lubbock.
Weird, but yeah, Lubbock.
As for SA's mormon population.
From an article I found:
http://www.rickross.com/reference/mormon/mormon102.htmlThe number of Mormon adherents in the San Antonio area grew from 9,038 to 12,084, or 33.7 percent, from 1990 to 2000, according to the American Religion Data Archive.
The new temple is to serve approximately 45,250 church members in 69 counties in a district stretching from Waco to Brownsville. The district includes 11 stakes, which are analogous to Catholic dioceses. Four of those stakes are in San Antonio, which has 15,000 LDS members.
The Temple is officially complete. I went to tour it yesterday during the Open House and its a very beautiful building.
i must admit that is my funniest post by far
Did you take these pics too writer? I bet this place isn't real.
