Well, Now You’re a Dead Emperor.
Some nutjob walked up towards the governor’s office in Colorado declaring he was the emperor. He was promptly shot.

Elizabeth Edwards Does it Again
Elizabeth Edwards has been given a gift with her cancer diagnosis. It’s the gift of speaking out truthfully about her opinions and beliefs. It’s something that very few people ever get the chance to do, and I commend her for it.
“This president talks a lot about good and evil and the need to seek out [...]

Austin City Manager Announces Retirement
Toby Futrell has announced her intention to retire in early 2008. Ms. Futrell started working for the city in 1976 as a clerk. Reports say that a national search will be on for her replacement. No offense to Futrell, who has done a fair job, but I hope a city the size of Austin can [...]

The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You
This post will remain at the top of the page until noon. Additional posts are below. Thank you.
I watched the memorial for Lady Bird Johnson this weekend. Along with those in attendance, I laughed and cried along with them as they shared their memories. I’m not from Texas, but even as a young child I’d [...]

Godliness is next to Child Rape?
Remember last week when I got so angry that the Pope said if you aren’t a Catholic you aren’t going to have salvation? This week the Catholics are in the news again for settling more child rape and molestation cases against them to the tune of $660 million dollars. I wonder, will that $660 million [...]

Reporters Get Death Threats
Shockingly, not issued by Tom Craddick. The SAXN acknowledges that one of their reporters in Laredo has been put on a hit list by Mexican drug dealers. The paper has moved the reporter to an “Undisclosed Location” (first made popular by Dick Cheney). Reading the article, it appears that the DMN isn’t pulling their reporters [...]

President Bush hopes your child catches cancer and dies.
There. Did I get your attention? President Bush threatens a veto on increased funding for children’s health care. There are currently about 6 million children covered under the plan. The increase would allow an additional 4 million children to be covered.
If your child doesn’t have health insurance and you voted for George Bush and continue [...]

Where’s the beef? (from)
Did you even know that congress passed a law that meat and fish was supposed to be labelled with its country of origin? If I didn’t know that, I surely wasn’t aware that the Republicans were delaying it year after year from going into effect. Who cares? For Chrissakes, just because my beef was from [...]

The Shame of Texas?
There are so many. Foster children sleeping in an office ranks right up there. How many years in a row are we going to read that the Texas foster care system is broken and not do anything to fix it? As if getting pulled out of an abusive home wasn’t going to scar a child [...]

First the Pope, now this…
Some whackjob Baptists disrupted the prayer in the U.S. Senate, screaming “Lord Jesus, forgive us father for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight,” the first protester began.
“This is an abomination,” he continued. “We shall have no other gods before You.”
Religious intolerance…the core values America was founded on. Way [...]
