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:

• The ACLU suing over a DC man’s detention for playing Darth Vader’s theme on his phone on a city street in the vicinity of National Guard troops
• Houston’s first-ever Fleet Week being postponed because of the ongoing government shutdown
• A pig setting a world record for riding a skateboard ten meters in just over 11 seconds

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Marco Roberts, chairman of the Texas Conservative Liberty Forum
• Mary Flood, legal consultant with Androvett Legal Media & Marketing
• Ernie Manouse, co-host of Hello Houston
