Congress Is a Joke
Excellent article on how the general public has no clue on even basic economics. Low supply plus high demand is going to mean higher prices, and no lame boycotts or politicians can fix it. They only make things worse.
If Congress does something to force prices down, that'll just increase demand which means the prices will just rise back up.

Texas Approves Gay Marriage Ban
I don't know when this happened, but as a moderately conservative and Republican voting Texan, I can't believe such a vast majority of people are against it. How does it affect you? Why do you even care what other people do with their lives? Is there any reason this law is passing so easily other than homophobia?

I surprisingly agree with the school's decision after reading (actually listening) to the whole story. And they're not cancelling the whole thing, just saying that the school will no longer officially sponsor it.

Right and Left wing blogs are both crap
And Republicans and Democrats are both equally corrupt and moronic. Being a relatively near the middle conservative who is apathetic about half the BS issues is much better.

UT wants to bulldoze Player's for hotel
Damn shame, UT wants to build a hotel and conference center and they want to bulldoze Player's to do it. It would be a shame, Player's has great burgers and is an easy walk from campus. I can't really think of any other place they could put something like that though.
