Contest #5 Winner!
“Geniousproductions” got the correct answer to this week’s contest! The question was: The US Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation. Technically, this could have been considered an illegal act. Why? The answer is, the Articles of...Another Sad Shooting
I’m not going to address the Second Amendment tonight. That can wait a day. The shooting at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb is painful. To parents and friends of the victims, I can only express my deepest sorrow for your loss. I pray the God will...Come Clean, Clemens
I’m trying to avoid the whole Baseball/Steroids thing. As Listener stated recently, I don’t know if Congress needs to insert itself so deeply into this… seems like they have better things to be doing with their time and our money. That said, Roger...

I am reviewing my emails just before I settle down to watch the returns from the Potomac primaries. There is an email message from one of my buddies that I have not checked for accuracy and may be hogwash for all I know but which I find kind of interesting. This...A Relaxing Afternoon Off the RIM
I spent most of the afternoon today in meetings, and of course, we don’t touch our Blackberries while we’re focused on the Present (I’m pretty serious about this, Blackberry use means I don’t need to be in the meeting). However, during times...
Come To The Table
I do not support the candidacy of John McCain. But I plan to vote for my party even if he is the nominee. I plan to attend my county convention in March (I was selected as a delegate to that event), and voice my position on the issues, on the candidates, and do my...Stay in Touch
