Texans 19 Browns 16

Texans 19 Browns 16. That's a huge sigh of relief that you are hearing from the South Main area as the Texans (1-6) avoided the real possibility of a 0-16 season with their win over the equally hapless Cleveland Browns (2-5). Amazingly, the Texans were able to pull out this field goal battle with only 237 yards of total offense, including 120 yards passing on David Carr's 10 completions on 20 attempts. Let's just say that I don't think that's a prescription for another victory next week in Jacksonville against the 4-3 Jaguars.

It's Alioto

Third Circuit Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. is President Bush's new nominee to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Larry Ribstein provides an overview of Judge Alioto's decisions in business cases, Orin Kerr believes that Judge Alito will ultimately be viewed as being quite similar to Justice Roberts and, thus, easily confirmed, and Doug Berman provides the early analysis of the nomination from a criminal justice standpoint.

The University of Michigan Law Library has put together this top notch site that includes biographical information, downloadable opinions, and almost everything you need to know about Supreme Court Justice nominee, Samuel A. Alito, Jr. Check it out.

Mission Unaccomplished

2000 dead is a milestone, sure, and an unhappy one, though Brit Hume doesn’t seem to think so, here. But to me the really problematic statistic today is that Iraqis are dying at a clip of sixty per day. That’s sixty dead Iraqis per day whose way of “welcoming us as liberators” is to get killed. No worries though, “The insurgency is winding down.” Here. These are the people all those smart folk trusted to reverse a thousand years of history and bomb the Arab world into democracy. Shame on them. Arianna Huffington tallies up some of the lies that got us here, here.

OK, I've finally got a blog......

I've decided since Technology is such a big part of my life, I should start my own blog. I've never been one to journal my thoughts, so maybe this will be the start of something big...
Who knows, we will see.
