Common Sense

That’s really misleading, since I cannot possibly make real predictions. I’m a cripple, not a psychic.
But I can think out loud, as it were, about how I feel this election is shaping up now that early voting has started and the big day is only two weeks away.
First off, the gubernatorial race: Call me crazy, […]

Didn’t President Bush say he wouldn’t accept a timetable for withdrawl? That it was “conceding too much to the enemy.”That it was “cutting and running.” That it says to the enemy “‘Here’s a timetable. Just go ahead and wait us out?’ It doesn’t make any sense to have a timetable.”

It’s a dated story, but the copyrighted coverage of the Waco Tribune Herald on Downtown Waco, Inc.’s recent fiduciary challenges deserves mention here.
Crux: The organization’s board initiated an internal investigation that has grown to a criminal investigation by the Waco Police Department after the potential of misappropriations surfaced this year. All this followed the retirement […]

Here are a few new blogs that I know of.
The pro-tem mayor of Lockhart, Texas has a blog, as well as a guy in Glen Rose, the Somervell County Salon with some writings on the Edwards-Taylor race. Both are going in the blogroll, as well as the new blog at the Trib.

In this wacotrib.com poll. Think of it as practice for Nov. 7.

A lot of blogs have linked to the Trib story about the NRCC doing a poll last week then pulling money out of the Taylor race.

We just have a whole bunch of stuff about Van Taylor today.
