I bought this book because I know some of the people from the PD that were involved in this case. For the first time in my life, I threw a book in the trash unfinished. If you want a completely distorted view of the south - read it, because that is what you will get.

Tuesday Morning

August 21st, 2007 · 1 Comment · The Owner

After starting my day and getting Roscoe settled in with his chew toy, I headed over to the local liberal rag, The Columbus-Ledger Enquirer, to see what happened over night.  Three blazing headlines:

25-year-old man gunned down in Phenix City
Man faces life in rape
Iraqi sacrifices his life to save U.S. soldiers

Looks like Hurricane Dean is going to be making short-work of the coast of Texas and Mexico.  I do pray that we have all learned from the Katrina storm and people are getting the heck out of its way.  I doubt the Mexican government is going to worry much about taking care of its folks, but at [...]

Describe your laundry routine. Do you have a certain day when you do it all, or do you just wash whatever you need for the next day?

We’ll See This Again

August 16th, 2007 · No Comments · Health, Hillary, Socialism

You can bet next week’s paycheck that the Clinton Camp is going to jump on this news story to show the Bush Administration has made people “so invisible”.   And to back up her socialist beliefs in regard to healthcare in this country.
