We Simply Have Too Much Government Intrusion at All Levels of our Life Now

The Problem: Too much government intruding in our lives, on your bodies, in our homes, and in our pursuit of liberty and happiness. The Answer: Vote them all out.

Another Company Moves to the Greener Pastures of Texas

This happens so often here in Austin — companies fleeing high-tax, Democrat-led, Democrat-destroyed states to the business and personal tax friendly state of Texas — that I hardly even take note of it.

Austin: Blizzard 2010!

Of course this will all be gone tomorrow afternoon when it’s supposed to be sunny and 50 degrees…but for today the neighborhood kids were out in force building (their first?) snowmen and having snow ball fights.

Gabbi’s Burgers and Dogs Closes Their Doors for Good

I don’t know if they’re just one more victim of a foundering economy. But it’s not like they were selling high-end luxury goods. They were selling really tasty, over-sized burgers at a fair price.

Tax-Friendly Texas Lures Another Big Business Away from Another State

Maryland is 45th on that last, behind only the dying economic states of New Jersey (the worst), New York, California, Ohio, and Rhode Island.

Austin Liberals Protesting Christmas at Zilker Park Trail of Lights

That’s right, a “Designated Free Speech Zone” so that Austin’s perpetually-outraged professional Protest Clowns can come out and — that’s right — protest Christmas. Probably yelling, “There’s no such thing as Santa” at passing children.

Picking the Liberal Out of a Crowd

I’ve long told my wife that you can almost always tell someone’s political affiliation just by looking at them. The way they dress. The way they cut (or don’t cut) their hair. The expressions on their faces. The way they smell. The way they carry themselves.

So, we survived The Great Blizzard of 2009 here in Austin (though, it is supposed to hit 22 degree tonight…damned global warming).

Austin: Do You Recognize This Lady?

I don’t care if it’s your mom, your wife, or your sister — because she’s a low-life degenerate who needs to go to jail

El Gallo Chashier to Would Be Robber: “No Dinero for You!”

El Gallo is a family owned business that has been serving some pretty-damned good Mexican food in Austin for more than 50-years, and in this tough economy wasn’t about to give up a day’s sales to a heroin-fiending degenerate.

Another Motorcycle Rider Kills Himself in Austin

I’ve noticed that a very large number of the motorcycle fatalities that I read about seem to occur in the early morning hours between 1:00 and 4:00 a.m. — which indicates that the rider is very likely on their way home from a bar.

Though, I think going to Home Depot to hire some wet backs to run those wet vacs wouldn’t be such a bad idea, and would save the city some money on labor rates..

Austin: Paul Devoe Sentenced to Die

In August of 2007, Paul Devoe murdered Haylie Faulkner, 15, and Danielle Hensley, 17 in Jonestown, TX. He was convicted last week of capital murder for their deaths . These Texas girls are among the six killings Devoe is accused of committing between Texas and Pennsylvania.

Brianna Becker: UT Student Killed By SUV While Jogging

Brianna was a remarkable young woman who was going to do remarkable things — the loss of such a bright and promising young life is such a painful tragedy. My sincerest condolences to Brianna’s family and friends; may your Heavenly Father give you strength and healing in this time of loss.
