Iraq - We Ain’t Going Anywhere
Sep 28, 2007“GOP Senators Offer New Timeline for Iraq” - when I saw the headline today, I heaved a giant sigh.
A few months ago, I probably would have heaved my lunch. But I have become used to it and my reactions are a bit tamer these days.
Timeline, timeline, timeline - I got your timeline, right here:
We are not leaving. Ever. Never were, never will.

Sep 28, 2007You are if you live on the Tennessee side of town and buy your cigarettes over the line in Virginia. Shame on you, willing to break the law just to save a few bucks.

Lottery Dumbs Us ALL Down
Sep 20, 2007I was no fan of the Tennessee Lottery when it was first up for discussion. My biggest issue was that putting the government – ANY government – in charge of a game of chance was ridiculous. The government has enough trouble keeping up with what it constitutionally SUPPOSED to be in charge of. It was not designed to run a business like the lottery.
Here’s some irony – the government was not intended to run the school system either, but it does. And now we have the government-run lottery funding the government-run schools.
Is anyone surprised at the chaos?
