Well, there HAS been a well known Hogg in politics before. Maybe he can run on name recognition in Hazzard County? -Dtech __________________________ "I've got a life to live, people to love, and a God to serve!" - sigmonkey "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." - Albert Einstein "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition" ― Rudyard Kipling | |||

There was a kid I went to HD with that was a lot like Hogg, in too many ways including the delusions of granduer...Last time I checked he was selling Fords | |||

I'd bet that most politicians started out as loud mouth little shits that wanted to control others from the time they ran for student council in 7th grade. DH got a lot of air time, and is particularly obnoxious, but I bet he isn't all that unique. | |||

More than one. Who can forget James “Big Jim” Hogg who was 20th Governor of Texas. Jim Hogg County is named for him. His daughter Ima was a influential supporter of University of Texas. Her mansion is still in use, now part of the campus. Her sister Ura is urban legend. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I taught school in Ellis County and they are legends there. In my Texas History course the kids would write an essay on the Hogg family and interestingly Ima and Ura were quite beautiful ladies. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | |||

The urban legend of Ura was always a fun point to discuss. One of my students found a history of Ellis County and it had a picture of the two daughters and named them. It was a great exercise for them to try to separate fact from fiction. Was Ura real or not? Then who was in the picture? It was fun and engaging for them. This was in the 90's so it pre-dated wikipedia and our school didnt even have internet. That came later with a TIF grant. This business will get out of control.

I'd suggest ole Davey broaden his horizons a bit more before attempting to run for office. Maybe he could bike through Afghanistan...  ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

I know some things, and others not so much, but I do know this: David Hogg's parents have royally fucked up. What a worthless shit stain that kid is. I hope his parents cry at the thought of their little loser, and what he has become. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

Read the original linked NY article and the way his mother describes him, it reads like the classic teenager of being too smart for his own good while being full of shit. The longer their tour goes for, the more he believes himself to be the Pied Piper. | |||
