Duh. Stiffer penalties and fines for illegal street racing are coming to Texas courts. “When high school children were dying needlessly in street racing activities in San Antonio, I began to look into the matter. I discovered that it was a state-wide problem,” says the sponsor. Not surprisingly, Mr. Fischer is a Democrat. More government,…

Gays OK in Philly Scouts
Philly says Boy Scouts must allow gays in. Do you recall Bruce Willis’ line in that American classic film “Die Hard”, when he said “…all things being equal, I’d rather be in Philadelphia…” while picking glass shards out of his bare feet? I say, all things being equal, the Philadelphia troop should be kicked out…
Just Say No
Thom Marshall of the Houston Chronicle says we need to help drug users more. “We’re criminalizing an entire generation,” says one area judge. That’s a valid point and something that is very likely not right. But would it be better to legalize soft drugs and let these “offenders” off the hook? Many of them have…
Texas Democrats are back in Austin
What I want to know is if they are going to spend any time in jail. That’s pretty much all I want to know about those jokers. We’ve had to live with 135 years of their districting in this state, it only seems fair to give the other guy a shot at running things, what…
Men’s Golf is for Men
Vijay Singh says Annika Sorenstam doesn’t belong in a men’s PGA Tour event and he’s absolutely right. If Tiger Woods wants to play from the ladies tees, NOW would burst a collective blood vessel. Unfortunately, Vijay seems to have caught some flack and has backed off of his stance, somewhat. But he’s right on the…
Texas Dems Hiding
Democrats continue to cower in Oklahoma as the Texas state government grinds to a halt. One good thing about this is that the Texas state house can’t screw anything up when there’s no quorum. It’s truly pathetic, however, that the petulant Democrats are being so childish. After 125+ consecutive years of monopolistic Democratic rule in…
Dems Run from Redistricting
A group of Democratic lawmakers went into hiding Monday to block a Republican congressional redistricting plan. What will they think of next? Hmmm, “our message doesn’t interest voters, so let’s run away to ensure there’s no quorum?” That’s genius at work! Somehow, I don’t think that’s not a democratic tactic that Thomas Jefferson had in…
Baseball Player Beats Wife Before Game
That’s a recent hot story in Houston. So the guys at the Chronicle took a little poll: Were the Astros right to release Julio Lugo? – No, he’s innocent until proven guilty: 23% – No, they wouldn’t have done this to Jeff Bagwell: 27% – Yes, if he’s guilty, he should be gone: 35% –…
Teens Should be Leashed
Glenbrook North High will suspend the girls behind the melee in the park and it looks like they will be expelled as well. That should be the least of it. Gads, what a bunch of losers. The worst thing about it all is that when I’m old and in a nursing home, that generation will…
Suburban Bitches From Hell
By now I’m sure everyone’s heard about the high-school girls from hell. One of the major networks was showing the home video footage of those crazy bitches fighting like gutter animals, I don’t remember which one, and it was pretty vile shit, no pun intended. Here’s a forum that opened to discuss the matter. Here’s…
