Increasing Tolls, And A Host Of New World Records: The Good, Bad, And Ugly Of The News

A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week's news, we turn to a rotating panel of "non-experts" to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:

• Increasing tolls on the Grand Parkway
• Three world records you didn't know existed — and probably didn't care about — all fell this week, including one for kite surfing, one for merengue dancing, and another for playing pinball

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Luis Carrasco, Houston Chronicle editorial writer
• Natalie Arceneaux, president of Arceneaux International Consulting, blogger, and host of the podcast In All Ways and Always, Natalie
• Charles Kuffner, who writes the political blog Off the Kuff
