I went to the Kansas City Tea Party to protest overtaxing and overspending by the Federal Government. It was actually very inspiring. The speakers were good, the signs were pithy, and the weather was perfection, sunny and 70.

Confused Socialists

Socialism confuses the distinction between government and society. Every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.

Hockey.

I am playing ice hockey Tuesday AND Thursday night this week. I am happy about this. That is all.

I like Chris Cornell's work.

Chris Cornell's new album, Scream, doesn't sound like Audioslave, Soundgarden, or Temple of the Dog, but I approve!
