For the third time since Saturday, Oklahoma –yes, “where corn is high as an elephant’s eye” Oklahoma–has been hit by an earthquake, and once again, tremors were felt here in the Metroplex. I’ve lived my entire life within 150 miles of the Metroplex and do not recall ever hearing reports of earthquakes, even minor tremors, …

Recently, I penned a piece exposing the Democrat’s faulty logic in continuing to press forward with health care reform in the face of widespread opposition. In that piece, I made it clear that Democratic politicians are not alone in their use of faulty logic to promote a personal agenda. Indeed, Republicans are just as guilty …

Just when you thought the Texas Textbook Wars could not get any more absurd, Republicans on the SBOE blocked a measure yesterday that would have taught students the importance of the First Amendment. Really? This proves my theory that these zealots are not interested in democracy, but rather in living in either a theocracy or …

As a five year old kid, I remember riding around in the family station wagon, listening to Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA.

In addition to being Texas Independence Day, Tuesday was also Election Day in the great state of Texas. While you can go to any website and get an in depth analysis into what Rick Perry’s victory may mean in the world of American politics, I thought I would share my unique perspective on some numbers …

At first, we decided a trip to Napa & Sonoma would be nice, so we went to our local bookstore and bought a couple of books on traveling in the region.

My good friend, Brian Cuban, recently penned an article for his blog regarding the “death of small town America.” In the piece, Cuban opens with details of his recent trip to celebrate Thanksgiving in East Texas and laments the condition of one specific town, Atlanta, Texas, but extends the content of his post to small …
