Living in a non-swing state is both a good and a bad thing. Its a good thing because I don't have to put up with as much political bull-crap as the swing states do. I don't have to see all of the mud-slinging that goes on in these hotly contested states (don't get me wrong, we still see a fair amount of mud-slinging here in Texas, but not nearly as much as other states). The reason that living is a non-swing state is good is also the bad thing about living in a non-swing state. I know a co...

So I voted today, and I voted for Sen Kerry. I did some research on candidates views on certain issues before I made my decision and there were a few things that swayed my vote. 1) Roe vs. Wade. I just don't like the way the President is leaning on this.

While neither candidate share my view on the ...

People are dumb. I know I'm not really shocking anyone by this statement, but I feel that I must reiterate this idea. As I've said before, I don't really care what political views people have, I believe that everyone has the right to believe in what they will, but sometimes, stupid people, shouldn't be allowed to think at all. Case in point. I was driving down the road Friday morning and I was astounded by the sheer stupidity of a political bumper sticker that I saw. The bumper stick...

I really used to hate the solistation call we used to get. The worst were the ones where the phone would ring, you'd pick up the phone and say "hello" but there would be no one there for a second, then you'd hear something like "please hold someone will speak to you shortly about something you could not possibly give a rats ass about." On the other hand, I don't mind getting the phone and answering surveys. I can't really explain it, but the surveys just make me feel like I'm helping someo...

So as you are probably aware George W. Bush was the Governor or Texas for 6 years before he became President of the United States. Even though W was born in Connecticut, and went to school at Yale and Harvard, the people of Texas consider him a Texan, and are fiercely proud of him. So now it comes out that the University of Texas at Austin, the flag ship of the UT system is putting together a bid to get the W presidential library built at UT Austin. For those of you that don't know, and ...

Hopefully Michael Moore will STFU with all his crap about Bush not being elected in a fair election.
