That’s right, 40 years ago today Charles Whitman massacred people from the observation deck of the tower on the University of Texas at Austin campus before finally being taken down by a cop.

The Pews Internet and American Life Project just released their survey of blogs and bloggers. Apparently, the vast majority are under 30 and very sociable. I’m halfway there, since I am possibly the most antisocial person any of you know. I yell at old people in line for being slow and I don’t even know […]

Liberals don’t speak for him. Really, that’s the subject line in the press release email. I wanted a debate about Iraq, and I got one.

Dear Nate,
You may know that I am Veteran and, in fact, the only Republican Iraq Veteran on the ballot this November.  It is an honor and I’m humbled by the responsibility. […]
