Common Sense

I spent four minutes just now watching our president speak about the surge’s success in Anbar and I swear if I hear about Anbar being a success anymore, I’m going to hit someone over the head with my cane!
You know how we drove out AQI (all 200 of them) out of Anbar Province? We gave […]

President Bush has decided, after sober assessment of our military and political victories on the ground in Iraq, that he can drawdown 30,000 troops by the middle of next year. I think, this is a reasonable move on his part.
Really, is it so hard to write the truth at the Washington Post? We all know […]

I wanted to write something beautiful and poignant about the 6th anniversary of the tragedy, but I don’t have the time or the inclination.
In truth, I’m still as angry and confused about that day as I was standing in the counselors’ office at MCC watching the events unfold live. I was livid that it was […]

All the guys at CHUD took the time to bad-mouth, trash-talk and generally snub (and that’s putting it kindly) Rob Zombie’s version of Halloween.
This is in stark contrast to my review, which was generally glowing with praise. All the things they hated, were things I found great. It seems like their critique is that Zombie […]

Apparently, the chick from High School Musical (hold on, let me look up her name) Vanessa Hudgens has some totally, not anywhere near safe for work, full-frontal nudity pictures floating around on the Internet.
I agree with the dude from The Superficial, her rep is an idiot for even confirming that it really is her. In […]

I’m referring, of course, to Halloween. Christmas is nice and all, but you have to admit, Halloween is a more fun holiday. There is dressing up, a lot of fun ghost stories, the weather is usually great, candy and, if you go to the right Halloween party, a very good chance of getting laid. Nothing […]

My was a mix of some really good stuff followed by a really bad day today.
Saturday, Space Monkey went to see Rob Zombie’s re-invisioning of Halloween. We were surprised at how far hot chicks in movies titled Halloween have come in the past 30 years. I’ll do a review in the next couple of days, […]

I’ve been working at the Trib nearly 5 years now and I still don’t get to do the picks box. Not even the college picks box, something I know about.
So, if you wanna complain with me, send Jerry Hill and email and tell him to let me in! I think they are all afraid I’ll […]

Iraq isn’t so much a quagmire as it is a training ground for jihadists.
When the United States struck Afghanistan in 2001, “there were probably 3,000 core Al Qaeda operatives,” says [John] Arquilla of the Naval Postgraduate School. “We killed or captured about 1,000; about 1,000 more ended up in distant parts of the world. And […]

From the Desk of
Jim Dunnam
State Representative, District 57
 
            I want to take this opportunity to ask you to join me in welcoming State Representative Rick Noriega to Waco.  Rick is running for the United States Senate and I would invite you to come visit with Rick and see what he is about.  I have […]
