I thought that this piece by CNN’s Campbell Brown hits the bail-out nail squarely on its overinflated head. I know everyone is screaming about how urgent this crisis is and that action must be taken immediately. But I love and live by former Supreme Court Justice Brandeis’ great quote: “Sunshine is the best disinfectant.” What [...]

Was reading this on Fox News tonight, and it just seems wrong to me. Some of the ideas being floated are good, but not all of them. Let me say up front that I don’t like the bailout idea, but if you’re going to do it at least have some sense about it. [Rep. Barney [...]

Super Bowl – Congratulations to Peyton Manning, Tony Dungy and the Colts on last night's Super Bowl victory. I've been a fan of Tony Dungy's since he was the head coach in Tampa Bay, mainly because of his faith and his understated way of displaying it. Manning and Dungy both seem to be great guys [...]

Good stuff here. I wonder if politicians are inherently stupid or if there is a special additive to the water in DC which makes them so?

Well, it looks like if they do it in Texas, they get sued. The city of Farmers Branch city council decided to approve a couple of new ordinances in their city which has the citizens up in arms. I'll be picking parts out of this article throughout this piece. Farmers Branch on Monday (13 Nov [...]
