Where is the clubhouse?
I got a kick out of the editorial letters printed in Sunday's DRC. If these guys have an organization, I want to join. They are all good, even Underwood's letter makes sense, which is rare for him.
DRC Editorial Board goes too far this time.
And the Denton Wretched Chronicle tries to manipulate the outcome of a criminal trial. Note that the editorial fails to point out that the current District Attorney only got that case indicted after the DRC concocted a 5 page propoganda campaign to force the DA into action on this thing. Knowing Paul, he was probably waiting to see if the Lozano problem would go away all by itself.
Hell freezes over
We have finally seen that Hell can indeed "freeze over". Susan Estrich and Ann Coulter agree on the futility of the last Obaminable scheme, i.e., socialized medicine. Can you believe that? This most current nonsense from the administration is so crazy that even the liberal minions aren't buying it.
Here's a thought:
Instead of setting up a Canadian medical system in this country, why not get control of all of the junk science malpractice suits? Why not give doctors protection so they don't have to practice expensive defensive medicine all of the time?

Crimea River
I went through the Capital Murder track, today at the seminar. Not alot there for a prosecutor. It seemed to be about 8 hours of discussion of mitigating evidence. Too bad the murder victim didn't get to present his/her mitigating evidence before he/she was executed.

Hail storm today
We just had a fairly ferocious hail storm here in South Denton. It shredded the leaves off of my oak tree pretty well and beat my flower bed down a bit. I think everything will recover.

You said it, brother Ted
In his role as the guard captain of a Florida prison camp in the movie Cool Hand Luke, one of actor Strother Martin's more famous lines was: "Some men you just can't reach..."
There have always been psychotics intoxicated on power and evil. Such is the case for international kooks Kim Jong-Il of North Korea and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. These men can't be reached with diplomacy, logic or reason.
It's incredibly naive and arrogant of the Obama blowhards to believe they can "talk" and reason through pragmatism with rabid kooks. Believing so is kookier than the kooks themselves.
As someone who believes in giving kooks enough rope to hang themselves, the right course of action would be to sever all communications with rogue, whacky regimes until they prove to the world they no longer have rabies. In the meantime, America should walk loudly, proudly, and carry an oil-soaked 2x4 wrapped with rusty barbed wire and always be ready to swat international kooks upside the head.
The reason international terrorpunks Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong-Il have launched missiles and threatened to wipe nations off of the map is because neither of these terrorthugs respects the Obama administration. These nuclear thugnuts believe President Obama is nothing more than an inexperienced windbag politician with no idea of how the levers of American power can be used to move the world. And, unfortunately, in that they are right.
In her most powerful and compelling response yet to Kim Jong–Il’s string of missile launches and underground nuclear weapons tests, Secretary of State Clinton sternly stated the United States is considering placing North Korea back on the list of terrorist states. The International Den of Thieves & Scoundrels, more commonly known as the United Nations, is considering placing more sanctions on North Korea. Rumor has it that when he heard this news, Kim Jong-Il muttered: ho-hum.
While continuing to develop nuclear power, which President Obama now amazingly says Iran has a right to do, newly re-elected President Ahmadinejad has routinely threatened to wipe Israel off the map.
With President Obama going around the world apologizing and blaming America instead of standing up for America, we should expect kooks like Kim Jung Ill-In-The-Head and The Nuclear Nightmare, Ahmadinejad, to continue to poke their crazy, nuclear-tipped fingers into the chest of America.
Nuts, kooks, whackjobs and evil regimes respond best when America acts from a position of strength. President Reagan proved that when he forced the Evil Empire to tear down the wall. American might -- not hollow words -- works. Windbag politicians are transparent, shallow and weak.
International kooks need to know they will be dealt with like a rabid dog should they ever try to bite. That's because some men you just can't reach.

Why do you suppose they would not want an audit?
U.S. Senate blocked a bill last week to audit the Federal Reserve.
Rep. Ron Paul and more than half of his colleagues in the House co-sponsored the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, HR 1207, which they hope to have hearings on soon. On the Senate side, Sens. Jim DeMint, Mike Crapo and David Vitter co-sponsored S 604, companion legislation introduced by Bernie Sanders. But it was stopped cold before even being introduced on the floor on "procedural grounds."
America is in the worst economic situation since the Great Depression; the value of the dollar is tanking on the world market; and the Federal Reserve wields the greatest power to control it, with virtually no accountability -- let alone that the American people and even Congress have virtually no knowledge of what those inside are doing day to day.
There are two primary problems with the Federal Reserve. First, its very existence is a sheer contradiction of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. As Ron Paul explained last week: "Our Founding Fathers never intended for a single entity such as the Federal Reserve to have this much power. In fact, there is no authority in the Constitution for the federal government to create a central bank, to enact legal tender laws, or to print paper money. The Tenth Amendment is quite clear that 'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Secondly, the Federal Reserve is flat-out bad for the economy in the long run because it creates false fronts or temporary escalations in the free market, which eventually cycle around and lead to downturns or more need for other Fed fixes.
The fact is the Federal Reserve is one of the best examples of government control run amok and its oppression over its people. It rules by dangling carrots, cheap rates and loans before the American public, which in turn oppresses people by their inability to resist further debt. The Fed is the dealer in greed and debt, and its drugs are easy money and credit. Under the Federal Reserve System, Americans and our economy have to return to the Federal Reserve for repeated fixes like a drug addict. Otherwise everything goes into the tank.
If we can get the flow of the Federal Reserve under control, others drawing from its wells will become more manageable and accountable. Its open market operations and dealings with central banks and foreign powers at the very least must have oversight.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are going to fight to prevent the passing of any legislation that regulates the Federal Reserve, because they are in cahoots with the White House and also don't want the trade secrets of the Federal Reserve revealed nor its power restricted. It is being used right now by the Obama administration and the Democratic majority in Congress for political expedience and special interests.
Henry Ford was probably right when he said, "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

Now that's comedy
Oscar Mayer WeinermobileA house
Racine, Wisconsin
Now that's what I call "comedy".
What do you get when you mate the Weinermobile with a house?
I am watching Tom Watson win the British Open and reading that Tiger did not even make the cut...unbelievable. Watson is still playing great golf today.
I am glad to get some tough assignments behind me.
We finished a tough case against a couple of very tough attorneys last week. We were happy with the result.
We finished an important appellate brief this week.
It feels good to get some tough jobs done.
I get to sit in the Advanced Criminal Law Seminar in Dallas next week. I have to get those CLE hours done.

This is not the first time that I have heard this.
Are we going Japanese in America. It appears that what we are doing here has been tried in other countries and has failed in the past.
