I need a raise, too.

This post is in honor of “Buck Smith” (aka U.S. Senator John Cornyn staffer David Beckwith), who has recently been outed using a pseudonym to post on Democratic (and possibly other) sites.
In one post (referring to the “Big John” video), he commented:
“I personally believe Beckwith deserves a raise and/or a promotion for whatever role he […]

Saving Elsewhere, Part II

Okay, so we only made it through three e-mails last time. I have 61 in my inbox. Fortunately, I don’t have to do all of them — just the oldest and worth saving.
Next up:
An item entitled “Watch ‘Charlie Rose - An hour with General David Petraeus’” I sent myself through Google Reader on 10 SEP […]

8th Grade Science and Friends

How would you do on Texas’ eighth-grade science test?
Give it a shot.
I got 44 out of 50 correct. Post your score below.
Also, to my surprise, one of my friends, Krissi Trumeter, criticized my old college friend, Sofia Resnick’s, recent article in the Austin Chronicle. What’s surprising is that they don’t know one another. Austin is […]

They All Want to be Jon Stewart

Really? Is this what we’ve come to?
You (Obama) lifted your finger to your face, and you, you know, “scratched.” Sure, it might have looked innocent enough. Faces itch sometimes, whatever. But we know what you were doing. We know why you used your middle finger to do it. Mr. Obama, you Flipped the Bird. […]

Ray McMurrey

I’m running Ray McMurrey’s campaign for U.S. Senate against John Cornyn.
Our main opponent in the primary is five-term state Rep. Rick Noriega, who spends most of his time talking about how he serves in the National Guard.
Apparently, my entire family — including me — should run for Senate because we’ve all been active-duty.
Noriega has yet […]

The Yes Men and The Texas Grinch

Two videos everyone should see:
The first is Bill Moyers’ interview with The Yes Men, a group that gives the most absurd presentations at official functions — and get taken seriously — proving the gullibility and out-right stupidity of major government and industry leaders.
The second is a YouTube video from the Texas College Democrats about Senator […]

Pot, Meet Kettle.

So, W. Thomas Smith, Jr., who criticized me for a post I made earlier this year by declaring his holier-than-thou reporting and fact-checking methods, seems to have run into quite a bit of trouble himself over his “reporting” in the Middle East.
The story is all over the Web, but the Columbia Journalism Review blog has […]

KKK Supporting Ron Paul?

The conservative Lone Star Times is reporting that presidential hopeful Ron Paul has received campaign donations from the white supremacist movement.
The LST, which I’m certain I’d never agree with otherwise, has been digging up information on the donations, the Web site owned by the contributor, Don Black, and a bunch of other facts that show […]

Fighting Terrorists One Logo at a Time

Here’s the CIA’s new anti-terrorist logo:

I sincerely hope they didn’t hand over millions of dollars to a marketing/design firm to develop that.
