In regards to Ahmed Hussain’s letter to the Chronicle, let us quote from the documents that define the United States. First, from the Declaration of Independence: “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the…

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…
Habitat for Humanity Home a Crack House
Aren’t you glad you didn’t volunteer your time and effort to help these losers?
Founding Father’s Info Site
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…
