Madam Speaker
6 October 2006Up to this point I have been relatively optimistic that Republicans could hold on to Congress, albeit with the thinest of margins. I no longer hold on to that optimism. The events of the last week, on top of all that has gone before, have pretty well dashed all hope of Republican control of the [...]
Public School Answers
5 October 2006I received an email today from the campaign of Jim Rex, candidate for South Carolina Superintendent of Education. Mr. Rex’s email focused almost entirely on the subject of vouchers and he staunchly opposes them. It was interesting indeed to read his reasons for such opposition. My view is simple: not only is it the wrong [...]

After standing in line for about twenty minutes I arrived at [...]

The FBI surveillance video below clearly shows that Murtha has been lying. The video is rather lengthy, running almost an hour, but it is well worth viewing. The constant [...]

2 October 2006A Tribute to Henry Jefferson Barnes
1 October 2006Henry Jefferson Barnes was my wife’s first cousin. He was 27 years old when he died last Friday from complications of a car accident. I didn’t know Henry all that well. We never lived close to each other so I only saw him at holidays and funerals. But I found him to be a very genuine [...]
