In fact, she is running for another term as Texas’ senior senator. Kay Bailey’s running again? I had no idea her seat was even up for grabs this year. Seems like I heard her promise that the term that’s ending now would be her last. I like Kay for one simple reason: I’ve never known…

Illegal Immigration, II
Yesterday I started a discussion about illegal immigration that left off with the assertion that illegal immigrants do in fact wield a fair bit of poltical clout in the southwest U.S. From my perspective this influence is not legitimate – the business of electing public servants should be exclusively reserved for citizens, in my opinion….
Polimom – It’ll be OK (in Bush’s version of 1984)…
Polimom, one of my favorite new feeds, say’s it’ll all be OK under the Bush terrorist detainee soon-to-be-law. Wunderbar!
Illegal Immigration
Our country’s illegal immigration policies, or lack thereof, are little more than a bad joke. Our borders are sieves and our ability to track non-permanent foreign nationals is minimal. Is this what Americans want? What you believe – or perhaps it is more aptly stated as “what you feel” – about this issue depends largely…
Ideas: Disagree and Die
What is it about people and their ideas that makes rejection so impossible to accept? We can’t touch an idea, hold it in our hands, or kiss it goodnight. What is so important that they are worth killing for? It seems to me that there’s a fundamental failure in people’s thought processes that stems from…
Big, Bad Government
California was in the news today in 2 cases that meet the criteria of this entry’s title. First, the big, bad state angle: Cali has filed suit against automakers because cars emit greenhouse gases. Get out! You’ve got to admit that Arnie’s got them dead to rights there… Second, the bigger, badder federal angle: apparently…
Our Next President?
If Bill Frist becomes President, would we start calling him “Slick Willie”, too? I’d never heard of the guy until Trent Lott made the P.C. crowd made by praising Strom Thurmond, but now Frist’s taking on W on stem cell research! Says Jill Zuckman of the Chicago Tribune. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist’s announcement Friday…
This is the Funniest Thing I’ve Seen in a Long Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Supreme Court Afraid?
By refusing to hear the now infamous Alabama Ten Commandments case, the Supreme Court of this country has abdicated its responsibility. It seems to me that the only reason for the justices to refuse to do their duty is sheer moral cowardice.
Who Decides When It’s Time to ‘Go’?
Florida Republicans, apparently. This is a terrible decision on the part of Jeb Bush. Republicans are supposed to be the party of less government, less interference in people’s lives, less of everything ridiculous. If only that were true! The Florida legislature had no business interferring in this matter. If any arm of the government needed…
