Election nights will be long
(02/12/10)
That election that I was so excited about last week has gotten even better. Now John Boozeman, our token Republican Congressman, has decided to enter the primary to see who will oppose Blanche Lincoln in the fall. ...

Elections going to be fun
(02/04/10) For the first time in a long time we are going to have an interesting mid-term election in Arkansas. Even the general election might be fun. We will end up with two new members of Congress, and maybe even a new Senator. This could be the year we find out if Arkansas is about to join the rest of the South and become a haven for Republicans...
Political obstructionism
(01/27/10) There's been sort of a debate going on for awhile about whether Congressional Republicans are willing to work with a Democratic President or are they going to oppose everything proposes just to make him look bad. ...
They always get it wrong
(01/20/10) Let's make it a rule, or maybe even a law, that white men are not allowed to talk about race. That's because, no matter what a white man has done in his life that proves he isn't a bigot, if he talks about race, someone will accuse him of racism. You don't have to take my word for it, just ask Harry Reid...
Renderings on Rush, etc.
(01/08/10) I don't know about you, but I was shocked last week when I heard that Rush Limbaugh had been rushed to the hospital with chest pains that might have meant he had had a heart attack. I was shocked because I didn't think he had a heart. Actually, I knew he had one, I just thought that the only way you could harm it was to drive a wooden stake through it...
Looking back and ahead
(01/04/10) This new year is more than just a new year, it's the end of the first decade of the 21st century. If you follow Time magazine, it was a bad one. It started with a disputed presidential election that lead to our first appointed President, and ended with the worst economic crisis since the Depression. ...
Give Blanche credit
(12/03/09) No matter how you feel about the issue of health reform you have to give Blanche Lincoln credit for not taking the easy way out in her vote for the plan. It would have been much easier and safer for her to vote against the plan. In the end she did what she thought was right, and isn't that what we want her to do?...
Virginia Foxx
(11/18/09) I am going to spend the next two weeks introducing you to two members of Congress that have about as much business being there as I would performing heart surgery. The only thing that will amaze you more than the fact that they got elected in the first place, is that they got reelected...
A disappearing middle class
(11/13/09) You'll have to excuse me this week if I am not at my usual crotchety best, but I have a good excuse. Just before 4 a.m. Sunday morning, Harlyn Virginia Williams - the newest member of our family - decided to make her grand entrance to this world. She and her mother Paige are doing fine, but her daddy is a little woozy after witnessing the miracle of birth...
Halloween fears no big deal
(10/30/09) This Saturday, depending on your point of view, your children will dress up in costumes and collect candy from the neighbors, or go to church and pray for the souls of all of the kids out getting candy. I don't know exactly when Halloween became a form of devil worship, but I'll bet that that story came from the same people who claim there is a war on Christmas...
Christmas wars
(10/01/09) We've come to the end of September and that can only mean one thing--the Christmas season has begun. Actually, it began two weeks ago when Target and Wal-Mart first started putting out Christmas merchandise on the shelves. This also means that it's time for FOX News to begin its war on the people it claims have declared war on Christmas...
Washington never changes
(08/21/09)
I once opined that the arguments in Washington don't change, just the sides arguing do. Just look at the current health care debate and compare it to the debate over adding prescription drugs to Medicare a few years ago... |
