I wonder why that is?

The Dallas Morning News as a story about TXU (Texas Utilities, the main electric company in Texas) showing twice as much profit this year as opposed to last year. A couple of choice quotes from the story. TXU Corp. nearly doubled its profit for the third quarter compared with last year thanks to higher electricity [...]

RE: Something to think about

by clay on October 19, 2006

Wouldn't you know it. Just as soon as I start updating frequently, the hardware my site is hosted on crashes and I lose it for 12 hours. Eesh. Anyway, here's an update from my story yesterday about the rumored attack this weekend. From the Dallas Morning News: The FBI was interviewing a Milwaukee resident Thursday [...]

I have to agree with him

by clay on October 13, 2006

I saw this letter this morning from former US Representative and House Majority Leader Dick Armey to Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family (wow, that's a lot of links in one sentence). I have to say that I agree with what Mr. Armey says, if everything in the letter about Dr. Dobson [...]

Some good thoughts about the "religious right"

by clay on September 25, 2006

Joe Carter over at the Evangelical Outpost has some good thoughts on what it means to be on the “religious right”. My favorite is this one: We must keep in mind that term “religious right” encompasses two spectrums. Because of our commitment to the faith, we will often find ourselves in agreement with the religious [...]

Some good reading

by clay on September 19, 2006

Jay Tea over at Wizbang has a good one going here. I’ll link to the intro piece, which will have links to the subsequent ones. Unless Jay Tea doesn’t update the intro, then I’ll come back and link the others. Part II from today was especially good.

An "American Hiroshima"

by clay on September 17, 2006

Read this first. (H/T; Lorie at WizBang) Finished? Read this next. OK, my thoughts? I think they are absolutely serious and we would be idiots to think otherwise. I think that the southern border has been wide open far too long and something like this is bound to happen at some point. I think that [...]

Just unbelievable

by clay on September 8, 2006

Read everything here (Hot Air) and here (Texas Rainmaker) first, then come back for my comments. All done? This is just pathetic. It is not being said that it’s a documentary. That’s the one that airs on Sunday on CBS. (And note to the AFA: shut up. It’s things like this that make others not [...]

I’m not even going to attempt to say I understand what went on in New Orleans last year during Katrina. I will say that I think the rest of the Gulf Coast got hit worse (by the hurricane, important distinction) and has not received nearly the press coverage but that’s an arugment for another day.

Nothing like a little overreaction

by clay on May 22, 2006

I’m an armchair meteorologist. I watch The Weather Channel more frequently than most. I was one year into a meteorology degree at the University of Oklahoma before finding out that a full-time job, wife and new child wouldn’t leave me enough time to finish the program. I’m a trained storm spotter and amateur radio operator. [...]

Bill Hobbs is an absolute genius.

Everyone (OK, everyone conservative) needs to read this.
