This week, we discuss: a feasibility study on whether the proposed high-speed rail line between Houston and Dallas should include a downtown Houston stop; UH's Blaffer Art Museum not allowing a piece of art involving an unloaded .22 caliber revolver; and Houston and 31 other cities challenging a request by CenterPoint Energy to charge customers to cover what the utility says is $60 million more to run the wires that bring electricity to the Houston area.

This week’s panel of non-experts includes:

  • Houston Chronicle writer and Wait, Wait…Don't Tell Me! panelist Kyrie O'Connor;
  • Texas Leftist blogger Wayne Ashley;
  • Russ Capper, founder of The BusinessMakers.com and The Energy Makers.com video shows.
