Need a new health magazine to subscribe to...
I guess I'm done with MensHealth Magazine. I'm not going to cancel my subscription, but when this runs out I won't be renewing. I have subscribed to that magazine for over 10 years now, but in the last few months it has become a liberal propaganda rag for Obama policies.
They have written articles in favor of government controlled health care in this country and turned their back on the possibility of removing state roadblocks to more interstate competition among health insurers. Last month, I read a long article touting the virtues on the French health care system.
But this month, in the editors preface page, he is positively giddy over the fact that he proposed a tax on sugary sweet foods under the guise of helping America regulate their diets.
Have so many Americans lost their minds that they want the government trampling on our freedoms to make choices...any choices?
Why not pass legislation banning sugar and high fructose corn syrup in manufactured foods?
Are we going to have the kitchen police now? Are they going to march four abreast into your kitchen to check your cannisters and cupboards for sugar or syrup?
Where does this madness stop?
Have Americans gotten so simple and dull witted that we need our government in Washington legislating what we eat?
And what about the impact to the sugar industry and the corn growers? Is Obama willing to add even more people to his unemployment casualty roll in favor of more regulation and tax?
I don't know about you all, but the willingness of people to call on the government to take more control over us is just scary.

Goodbye Mavs...Say Hello to Your Texas Rangers
Yes indeed...
In case you haven't noticed, the Rangers are in first place in the American League West after a little bit of a rocky start.
I really feel good about this year for those guys.

Second Day as a Defense Attorney
I am learning about making jail visits. (It's amazing that in 27 years as a prosecutor, I don't have alot of experience visiting people in jail. Well, maybe no so amazing.)
I got my first court appointment today (and that's all I'm saying about that).
I am enjoying the new work and the new point of view, but mostly I am enjoying the time I have with Cindy.

Gulf Oil Spill Crisis
Okay, boys and girls:
Is there anyone besides me who sees the explosion of the BP oil rig in the Gulf as the result of a plot by environmental extremists?
It's unbelievable the way those people have used this as a cry to essentially stop oil production in the United States. Even Arnold Schwartzenager has reversed his stance on offshore drilling and now he is totally against it.
Has anyone heard what the cause of the explosion was? I haven't heard a word about the cause. Apparently, it was all very mysterious.
And I would not put it past those environmentalists to pull a stunt like this. Look at the way they are celebrating a disaster that killed 11 people. I have never seen a group that loves an accident or a disaster more than the environmental extremists.

New office update
I picked up my busiess cards and several items of office furniture today. I ordered my desk and it will be here soon.
Topless in Maine...Why?
I stumbled across this video of women marching topless in Maine. Apparently they are protesting that men get to walk about without shirts, so they should, too. The report makes it clear that it is perfectly legal for women to go out in public with their breasts uncovered, but the protesters want it to be "socially acceptable" as well.
How does protesting make that happen. As near as I can tell, the men of Maine are all for making it socially acceptable as they were taking numerous photos of the topless women. It was the women who most opposed the topless women. "Nobody wants to see that" (or something to that effect) was said by one women.
How do you protest something that is already legal? How does protesting make something socially acceptable? Is their protest going to do away with 2000 years of socially programmed mores all of a sudden?
What gets into some people, really? Do they just not have enough to do in Maine? I hear they have some biting flies in the Maine summer that can make you pretty miserable. If so, wouldn't you want to cover up as much as possible?
