First off, I am not a fan of Michael Savage, but one of his books is titled Liberalism is a Mental Disorder and I think he hit that on the head. To whit I will point out two items for your reading pleasure. First, while driving to work this week I was listening to NPR…

Polygamy 2007
Reuters says that fundamentalist Mormons are pushing for legalization of their polygamous ways: Polygamy, once hidden in the shadows of Utah and Arizona, is breaking into the open as fundamentalist Mormons push to decriminalize it on religious grounds, while at the same time stamping out abuses such as forced marriages of underage brides. The growing…
What Media Bias?
“The fact that the enemy doesn’t adhere to the rules of war does not give us the excuse not to” says, of all media outlets, the History Channel. What a crock of crap! I’ve heard that little ditty about a dozen times since “Dances with Wolves” came on. If the remote wasn’t on the other…
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…
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…
RE: Aggie journalists won’t go down `without a fight’
If the journalism department at Texas A&M is eliminated, as recommended by Liberal Arts Dean Charles Johnson, it would be a great loss to the university, its students, and the country at large. A&M is a rare bastion of relative conservatism in the world of academia and as such no doubt contributes greatly to a…
Music Industry Slitting Its Own Throat
The music industry is killing itself by suing fans who trade files online. Do they think there won’t be a backlash from these people? Very few people who participate in this activity will go back to being paying customers.
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% –…
Music to my Ears
Here’s another of my favorite rant topics: on-line music sharing. Music industry sues students over alleged file-swapping networks, says CNN.com. I can’t decide if it irks me or makes me want to laugh. You decide. Either way, it’s a joke. The music recording business will do anything, no matter how ridiculous, to hold on to…
Enough, Moore!
Did you like director Michael Moore’s rant at the Academy Awards? Did you see his movie ‘Bowling for Columbine?’ I didn’t think so. On a related note, here is the poster boy for gun control. Stupid enough to make one wonder if Moore might just have a point.
