I was on CBS 11 News this afternoon with Karen Borta to make one of the points I’ve often thought about: Will President Obama, like Lyndon Johnson, be remembered mainly as a War President? Tweet Share

It seems to me the two sides in the fight over how to pay for public schools in Texas aren’t even in the same building, let alone the same room. Tweet Share
Can Fox be as Fair to Obama as I am to Governor Perry?
by Scott on March 28, 2011 in Journalism, Politics, Uncategorized, Video
Liberals and Democrats were upset with Fox News this weekend (shocking, I know) because Fox News Sunday Host Chris Wallace “slammed” the White House for not booking Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and Sec. of Defense Robert Gates on his program. Wallace was described by some as “whining.” But, I watched the clip and didn’t […]

As the uprisings in the Arab world intensify, we’ve heard a lot about the influence of the internet, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. But, what about war games? Tweet Share

I’m listening to the tape of Dallas Mayor Dwaine Caraway’s conversation with police about the domestic disturbance that resulted in officers being called to his home on Jan. 2. It is difficult to listen to and there is abundant rough language. Tweet Share

I saw this headline on the Newsweek website: “How Dumb Are We?” That’s the kind of headline that gets your attention but it’s probably too weak. Tweet Share

Sunday Reading
by Scott on March 20, 2011 in Economy, Education, Entertainment, Libya, Politics, Schools
The news today is focused on Libya and the fact that the United States is now engaged in a third war when our military is already over-extended because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s a big shift from the 24/7 coverage of Japan we’ve seen lately. The war in Libya is yet another […]
