As a group, Texas CHL holders are the most law abiding citizens of the state. But as in any group, there are those who do not fall within the norm. Tye Burke is one such individual. If this news report is factual, Tye Burke committed a felonious act […]

Due to pending legal issues, I am moving the forum to a new home at TheHighRoad.us. This is the one and only official site at this time, owned by me. The same high standards of civility apply.

It was the first day ever for the Dow Jones Industrials to trade in a 1000 point range. It was exciting. I was watching the ticker before the open and the Dow futures were showing a 400+ point drop at the open. It did it and more, down over 700 points, but then something strange happened: the indexes turned on a dime and climbed to within 12 points of break-even. Then Dubya had to go on TV to “calm the markets” and the Dow sold off 450 points. Thanks, guy. It was back and forth for several hours and then, at about 3, the Dow began to rally. It went positive by over 300 points, but it didn’t hold. The close was off 128 points.

A coup d’état took place in this country during the past two weeks. If you didn’t notice, perhaps you were distracted by the Dolphins whipping the Chargers, or Tina Fey’s grotesque parodies of Sarah Palin, or perhaps you were immersed in blogs trying to prove that Barak Obama is a domestic terrorist. Regardless of the distraction, while our attention was diverted, a revolution took place. No shots were fired, but plenty of blood was shed. The United States ceased to be a capitalist economy and became a managed socialist state.

Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly– just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That’s reckless. So I wanted to talk about things like that.

Authorities say a Fort Myers man shot himself in the arm after his girlfriend refused to have sex with him.

…she’s eating Biden’s lunch.
Sarah Palin, the GOP’s self-proclaimed "pit bull in lipstick," threw off her muzzle in Thursday night’s highly anticipated vice presidential debate and took more than a few chomps out of rival Joe Biden and Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Striding confidently out on stage, the Alaska governor reached across to Biden […]
