Should be required reading for all Americans. And not just the one time you snooze through it in high school.

10 Commandments Judge Suspended
Alabama Judge Roy Moore ‘failed to uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary’. Failed to bow and scrape to appease the the malcontents in society, from what I can see. Those that know me realize I’m not a religious person. If that offends, too bad. If Judge Moore’s statue offends, tough luck. The Constitution…
Houston Air Quality
It’s nice to know that I only live in the city with the 9th worst air quality in the country. Here’s an idea: build a bike lane that actually goes someplace and see if people ride on it. Stupid idea? No worse than a train going from downtown (nowhere) to the medical center (nowhere)… Meanwhile,…
Iraq, a Rock, it’s All the Same
After more and more reports of the niggling guerilla attacks in Iraq, the terrorists have finally revealed their strength. It’s got to be sheer misery to be on the ground in that country. I wonder if we’ve forgotten to be the hunter in this war on terrorists? Our troops should be stalking the little Osamas,…
Texas A&M in the News
First, the bad news: the lawsuit against the school is back on in the case of the bonfire collapse. The thing that gets me about this case is this: what would the kids who were killed want to have happen? I doubt seriously if they would see the years of legal wrangling as the right…
Microsoft: Automatic Computer Updates Required
On one level, this isn’t a half-bad idea. Unfortunately, few computer users in their right minds will allow the Microsoft monopoly to do whatever it wants to their computers. If Microsoft wants to protect its users, and its reputation, it needs to do a proper job of developing and testing its software. This is not…
New Spam Law Won’t Work
Or so says the head of the FTC, the bureaucracy that brought you AOL-TimeWarner and Clear Channel communications. Just because some spammers won’t abide by the proposed “do not spam” list doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do. Do we abolish speed limits just because every hick with a pickup ignores them? Not…
Another One Ought to Bite the Dust
An appeals court in New Orleans halted execution of convicted murderer. Any excuse will do, apparently, to stop justice from being meted out. If you ask me, a guy who pulls a gun on the presiding judge in his murder trial has proven the state’s case against himself.
Houston Crime Report
Think the death penalty in Texas is a bad thing? Read this. Still think it’s a bad thing? If so, you are terminally stupid, not to put too fine a point on it. Success for one man in a fight against crime. The line “deputies said the shooting probably will be referred to a grand…
Too Much Gay-ness
Recent polls of ordinary Americans indicate that there’s too much gayness being displayed in the media and in society at large. Who does this surprise? One can hardly turn on a TV show without their being a gay theme or at least a gay character in it. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that”, according…
