Anniversary
Who in my generation will forget 9/11/2001??? I was talking to some of the managers at work who compared it to the JFK assassination in their youth. One difference is that the JFK murder has never been publicly brought to justice. Bin Laden has not, as yet, but at least we know who we’re after.
Politics in California
Under the heading of ‘we’ll try anything to keep a Democrat in office‘, ACLU claims ballots used for years unsuitable for Governor’s recall election. Right… Meanwhile, it’s OK for Gray Davis to be “insensitive” to Arnie’s speech challenge.

Texas A&M In the News Again
Read a scathing commentary on the direction of our fine school. Given the de-emphasis on Aggie traditions in recent years, it’s hard not to see the accuracy of this statement. I think it is fair to say that few Aggies are interested in bringing so-called politically correct values to campus. At the same time, it…
Columbia Report In: NASA Criticized
The verdict on the Columbia accident is in and reactions vary. Some seek to glorify NASA’s past achievements, while others pretend to know better. It’s still my opinion that NASA has been starved from a budgetary perspective and that failed missions and lost personnel have been the inevitable result. While it’s amusing to wonder what…

Aren’t you glad you didn’t volunteer your time and effort to help these losers?
