Tony Romo's options in the passing game are disappearing faster than you can say, "Bad...

If anyone sees cars and trucks driving around with San Antonio Taft stickers please direct them to Memorial Stadium. With only around 50 people sitting on the visitor's side all I can assume is the Raider fans are driving around lost somewhere in Victoria.

We're looking at one hour until the Vipers and San Antonio Taft kickoff. Memorial's quarterbacks and receivers on are the turf running through routes. O.J. Hughes is looking calm and collected and has...

So, Hillary is most likely fuming this morning.
Senator McCain chose a 44 year old woman to be his running mate.

It really is a pain in the neck -- for me is's a pain lower down -- continously reading that if I oppose Obama for president I must be a racist. The editorial page cartoon this morning, 29 August, is the latest in this tirade.
I oppose Obama for several reasons, NONE of which...

Back in February, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just could not help themselves when it came to adding legislature to the President’s request for an economic stimulus rebate. The added what they claimed was a much needed fix for Fannie Mae and Freddie...
