This is just a quick note on Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC), who interrupted Obama’s Wednesday night speech with “you lie!†Which, by the way, was true: Obama lied when he said the current plans didn’t cover illegal immigrants. I only have two criticisms for the Representative.

Brian McLaren needs to butt out
Just got an email that’s torqued my lugnuts a bit too much concerning Brian McLaren. In case you’re unfamiliar, he’s one of the most influential “evangelicals” in America…at least, according to Time magazine.

I was doing something the other day I won’t be doing again in the foreseeable future: reading a Motor Trend magazine.

I am an Opera user, and I have been ever since the late nineties…probably as early as 1997. I love Opera…I always have and, from the looks of it, always will. It’s here to stay, and there is no reason to pull the plug on it.
Read MoreThe Longhorn Revenge Law?
In further attempts to better waste taxpayer time and money, representatives to the U.S. House have proposed the College Football Playoff Act of 2009. Hey, try winning all your games next time, and stop wasting Congressional law-making power.
