Typically, I will only go to political events that feature candidates that I am inclined to support. I don’t recall ever driving two hours just to go see someone that I totally disagree with; let alone get there so early that I’m on the front row. But this doesn’t seem to be a barrier to…

Misc Comments on My Trip Thus Far
I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

Hugh Hewitt proved why I love his show today. He had on Fox News reported Major Garrett. To the amazement of everyone, we learned that the Red Cross was prevented by Louisiana’s Governor from entering New Orleans immediately after the hurricane. In fact, they would have been at the Superdome before the levies even broke…

Michael Osborne was a happily married man and the father of six children; four are still living at home. He was a minister in the Episcopal Church. He was murdered driving his car in Hattiesburg Mississippi by flood thugs who were trying to rob him. He was buried yesterday in Memphis and leaves behind two…

It is a strange confluence of events that has lead to John Roberts being elevated from a nominee to Associate Justice to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Think about it. At least four separate events have all occurred to elevate this situation to the critic mass necessary to put Roberts in this situation. First…

I have been quiet about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina on this blog. I did call the Feed the Children number at 1-888-58-CHILD today. They were professional, courteous and quick. I was able to go through the whole process of donating in about a minute. My only additional comment on the aftermath is that the…
