How about supporting a pro-military, non-career, conservative-to-the-bone candidate for State Representative for the 41st District?
Then Matt Burden needs your help.
Just sayin’.
Chat ya later…

Well, maybe not that fine. Texas Fred has a post up concerning the big, fat line that was crossed by the El Lago Apartments in McKinney, Texas.
Seems a couple of Texas National Guard folk had to vacate their premises due to being called up to active duty. Their apartments (controlled, by the way, by a trust located in California to run a trust to run a company that owns the company that owns the apartments…) do not “participate” in the Texas Apartment Association and therefore do not have a TAA specific clause concerning military personnel and the possibility of being moved on orders prior to the end of a lease.
The specifics are in the article here. From a legal standpoint, the apartments are within their rights to penalize tenants who terminate their lease early, but this is no way to treat the men and women of the American Armed Forces.
I’m gonna have to throw a big BS flag on this play, no matter how strong the apartments’ legal ground.
On a side note: Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris and Chessa Horvath as they leave on their second deployment to Iraq.

TMBWitW and I were working on cleaning up the “office” here in the house. Earlier, it looked like a war zone. There was a play pen stuffed with toys, there are two desks (one for the computer, one for the peripherals), there is a set of storage shelves built out of 2×4’s and 3/4″ plywood, and there are the remnants/beginnings of an HO scale model railroad stacked here and there. All in a room that is 11×13. The whole thing was supposed to be the railroad room, but that got sidetracked. (get it? railroad? sidetracked? i kill me … )
Anyway – I got distracted while glancing through the e-mail. Good discussion over at Texas Fred’s place and at Bushie’s place. Jump in the discussions, I think it’s going to be a long comment session.
I also got invited to become a member of the editorial staff of Reject the UN. I accepted.
So, the office is in disarray, about to be taken off-line for rearranging and a general cleaning, the play pen has been stored, and I’m tired. TMBWitW and MEG are both napping – I probably should, too.
In fact, I think I will.
Have a good weekend!

Two things:
First, Happy Flag Day!
Second, Happy Birthday, Army!
I spent the morning putting a couple of new items together – an air compressor (did you know that Bostitch doesn’t make replacement parts for their oil-less compressors? especially the little reed valves in the cylinder head?) and a new miter saw. (the old one, the handle broke; Home Depot doesn’t sell the motor case that has the handle molded on to it, neither does Ryobi.)
We went to Sears to get the replacements – nothing like good old American made Craftsman, right?
Except for the tags on the bottom of the boxes that very clearly state “Made in China.”
Dangit!
