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:

• A U.S. Representative from Texas misgendering a colleague during a Congressional hearing
• Southwest Airlines announcing the end of its free bag-checking policy.
• The Texas Rangers releasing a ballcap with an ill-advised Spanish language faux pas.

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Charles Kuffner, who writes the political blog Off the Kuff
• Houston Chronicle columnist Joy Sewing
• Mustafa Tameez, media and public affairs consultant and the CEO of Outreach Strategists
