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 new list of America’s most philanthropic couples features three from the Houston area
• The Astros winning their division once again -- but doing it the hard way this time

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Jennifer Hadayia or Air Alliance Houston
• Charles Kuffner, who writes the political blog Off the Kuff
• David Branham, professor of political science at the University of Houston-Downtown
