Why does he actually have to state the State of the Union?

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Last night was the annual party known as The State of the Union Address and Our Fine President seemed a bit more reserved and less braggadocios than in previous years as he repeated past talking points, glossed over failures and while not everything he said was off base with the mood of the country, he […]

Chimps in the news

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

With the wondrous notion of the Geostationary Banana Over Texas project unwilling to leave my thoughts since I first heard about the plan, it seems only fitting that today’s news was filled with chimps.

The new plan looks kinda familiar

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

News is everywhere, it’s always developing and it’s easy to watch the narrative develop […]

It’s Bushwood memberships and “Flying Wasps” for federal judges

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

Now I don’t want to be hearing any more of this nonsense about activist judges plaguing our federal court system. Chief Justice John Roberts just issued his annual report and he spent the whole time addressing the “Constitutional crisis” of low judicial pay. Roberts had no time for any issues this year besides getting some […]
