Over the past 35 years, Brad “Scarface” Jordan has gone from being a street-level crack dealer to a nationally known recording artist to a city council candidate in America’s fourth largest city. On December 14, we will learn if voters in Houston's District D (population 210,000) prefer the risky and potentially transformational choice offered by Jordan to the safe and status quo choice offered by his rival. In the mid-1980s Jordan was selling crack cocaine on the streets of Houston. Over the next 20 years, first as a member of gangsta rap pioneers the Geto Boys, and as a solo artist collaborating with hip hop icons such as Ice Cube, Tupac Shakur, LL Cool J and Jay-Z, Scarface became a leading force in the Southern hip hop movement, which emerged as a distinct alternative to the more established East Coast hip hop and West Coast hip hop genres. Scarface’s artistic work has always drawn heavily on his own personal experience living in inner-city … [Read more...] about From crack dealer to gangsta rapper to councilman?

Panicky call by Texans’ coach Bill O’Brien. DOWN: Texans defenders celebrating a sack early in the second half as if they’d sealed a victory. Houston was behind 31-3. Scoreboard! (And, to add more embarrassment, the Texans were called for holding on the play.) UP: Broncos offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello. It’s been a tough season for the OC, but he was three steps ahead of the Texans.DOWN: Texans’ defensive back Bradley Roby had a woeful game in his first appearance against his old team, missing tackles and blowing coverages. Take Our Poll UP: Drew Lock, who else, whose quarterback rating in the first half was 157.8, the highest rating by a Bronco in the first … [Read more...] about Broncos up-down drill: Best and worst performances against the Houston Texans

John Hickenlooper’s attorney has been paid $43,390 — at a rate of $525 per hour — in taxpayer money to defend him before the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission as part of an arrangement that dates back to the former governor’s time in office. It’s common for Colorado elected officials to be represented by government lawyers, or by private attorneys enlisted by the government, but in this case, the recipient of the money was hidden and the money came from a federal fund meant to help the state after 9/11. Mark Grueskin, a high-powered private lawyer in Denver, was appointed “special assistant attorney general” in October 2018, when Hickenlooper first faced an ethics complaint into private flights that critics say violated a government gift ban. On Oct. 29, 2018, the then-Republican state attorney general’s office sent a letter to Grueskin’s office, appointing him to the new role. That allowed Grueskin to be compensated by the … [Read more...] about Money for Hickenlooper’s attorney is from federal fund meant to help Colorado economy post-9/11
