CBS News has put together an interesting list of George W. Bush’s top ten flip-flops. This won’t stop people from accusing Kerry of being the only one to ever change his mind, but read this article and then ask yourself who the real political opportunist is.
The local news ran segments today with Ann Richards [...]
Jay Leno announced Monday that he will retire from the Tonight Show in 2009 and hand over hosting duties to Conan O’Brien. I like Conan, but it won’t make a great difference to me who hosts the Tonight Show as long as David Letterman is still on the air. I’ve always preferred Dave [...]
I think that part of the problem with many arguments is that people try to take your position and apply the rules of their belief system in an attempt to prove that you’re wrong, rather than arguing against your specific points.
It’s controversial, but take abortion as an example. I recently read a letter to [...]
After watching countless Seinfeld reruns, I’ve come to the conclusion that my grandparents are in fact, real life versions of Jerry’s fictional parents. Morty and Helen, meet Virgil and Sally.
In an episode that aired the other night, Jerry’s father made a trip to the doctor. At the reception desk, he was given the [...]
Elgin, Texas is probably a lot like most small towns in America. The newspaper favors local stories over hard news, the community is mostly conservative, and there are many of the same problems as larger cities. The difference is that Elgin is also my hometown.
The Dr. Phil television show came to Central Texas a few [...]
With the start of the new Fall season, it’s sad to see that little has changed. Do we really need another reality show about a rich guy weeding out a group of narcissists? And really, another show about crime scene/medical investigators?
Much like teachers who base their lessons on the requirements of standardized tests, [...]
This is one of my rare entries about local events. Based on the site stats, most of my readers are from outside of Texas, so feel free to ignore this post completely.
The Texas A&M Aggie football team picked up an important win over Wyoming today. During the struggles of the past few years, [...]
I don’t mind telling you that I’m not at all surprised that reports this week suggest that George W. Bush failed to perform up to the standards of the Texas National Guard. He hasn’t exactly performed up to any measurable standard as president either. Dan Bartlett (White House Communications Director) would have you [...]
I read this morning that Kitta’s dog Harry passed away over the weekend. He had a brain tumor that apparently caused a massive seizure. I didn’t know Harry, but he reminds me of every dog that I’ve ever loved. Reading her story, I thought about running through the fields with Lefty and [...]
With two hurricanes hitting the Florida coast within weeks of each other, and the regular seasonal threat, I have to wonder why anyone would choose to live there. While I’m sure the coast is beautiful, it’s hard to believe that would outweigh the frequent possibility of losing everything you own, coupled with what must [...]
A few items to share…Nicole (the girlfriend) is going to be mostly taking over the photo site, which means she’ll choose which photos to upload, as well as write the captions. All this really means is that if you see or read anything strange, blame her. I’m also working on her to write [...]
“You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn’t really your home anymore? That idea of home is gone. Maybe that’s all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.”
I’ve been thinking about what to say about Garden State for a few [...]
I’d pretty much prefer to be stabbed repeatedly with a hot poker than listen to Bill Frist (R-Tenn, Senate Majority Leader) make the case for George W. Bush. Of course, I just did a few minutes ago. I missed his address last night while making serious preparations for the premiere of Scrubs, so [...]
