An escaped mongoose walks into a bar: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of the week

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:

• Fort Bend County Judge KP George announcing he’s running for a third term — but this time as a Republican
• Texas coming in dead last for health care access and affordability in a recent assessment
• A mongoose that escaped from a wildlife park being safety captured after he turned up at a local pub

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Natalie Arceneaux, president of Arceneaux International Consulting
• Charles Kuffner, who writes the political blog Off the Kuff
• Raúl Ramos, associate professor of history at the University of Houston
