Tête-à-Tête-Tête

I am used to winter days that hover in the 60 degree range. Sure it drops to at or a tad below freezing during the nights but for the most part winter here is not all of that uncomfortable to me.
So for the past couple of days I have learned new respect for folks who put [...]

Let’s hope not.

I spent a couple of hours Saturday morning in an elementary school gymnasium watching 10 year old kids play basketball.
I always get a big kick out of that kind of thing and since my children are both grown I do very little of it anymore.
I was there to watch my nephew. My brother is one of [...]

I can’t add anything to what Alice said here. It seems impossible to find any redeeming character in Bill Frist. Yes, he finally came off his position that embryos must be burned in the incinerators to keep the scientists from learning anything useful from them… I guess we can say that in his [...]

Or so says Gonzales
judges generally should defer to the will of the president and Congress when deciding national security cases.

So far, we have a minor ding for Harry Reid - worth John Cole dusting off the [...]

Wait to see if it sticks, but I think Gov. Richardson well deserves the love-fest he is getting right about now.

Being a Georgia Bulldog fan makes pulling for the Florida Gators a very difficult thing to do sometimes. But last night I had no problem with it at all.
I was worried about the game [...]

If this is true (via 1gm), freethinkers should run, not walk, away from Sam Harris as fast as our short little legs will carry us.
Frankly I’ve always admired Harris’s ability to turn a phrase and make a succinct case. I have one of his quotes in rotation at the top of the [...]

And I sure hope it turns out to be a good one for everybody.
One thing is for sure and for certain. I go back to work today for the first time in 11 days. I have spent the last 11 days virtually unplugged from the world. I was probably one of the last people to [...]
