Political Bits

Tea Party candidate Rand Paul kicks the crap out of establishment aspirant Trey Grayson in the GOP Senatorial primary in Kentucky, giving credence that the Tea Party, as disorganized as it is (and should be, in my opinion), has some teeth. Sestack defeats Specter in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary, which was no big surprise since...

Charlie toured with bands and mixed front-of-house, which is where Merle Haggard gave him the nickname, “Captain Feedback,” which may not strike the general populace as a great nickname, but anytime someone on a tour...

Texas HCR 50

June 2, 2009
By Scooter

  Well, blow me down. Texas House Concurrent Resolution 50 was brought up and voted for in the Texas house on the 30th…and it passed 99-36 with 4 lame paper pushers voting present, which in my mind should get them ridden out of Austin on a rail. Do your job and vote for or...

FLDS – 1, State Of Texas – 0

May 24, 2008
By Scooter

  The already messy case of the FLDS over in Eldorado just keeps getting messier.   I’m in no way defending the FLDS. Not knowing all the facts of the case or any of these people personally means that my opinion is nothing but speculation. However, the whole situation at YFZ Ranch seems unacceptable...
