Prayers for TexasCowboy! TexasCowboy has been using his hip injury as an excuse to prevent his friends from shooting his new riot gun. Well some of us offered to take a look at it for him and he decided both a proffesional and sober opinion might make more sense. So he found a coupon and now he is going to let some old saw-bones cut on him. Probably a better idea than letting us do it, but a few folks feelings are still hurt! Please all say a prayer for our Cowboy that he is back in the saddle...

Yes, we need a safety net, the current view seems to go; but we don’t need a European-style welfare state. What’s called for is the traditional American opportunity society, as much a boon to the poor as to everyone else. Implicit in compassionate conservatism was an epochal paradigm shift that is now all but explicit. Taken together, compassionate conservatism’s elements added up to a sweeping...

By Washington standards, Mr. Bush is a misfit. He's different. He barely socializes at all and on weekends and holidays makes a beeline for Camp David or his ranch in Crawford, Texas. He'd rather invite Christian musician Michael W. Smith and his wife to the White House for dinner than eat out. If Mr. Bush really wanted to soothe establishment types, he'd invite them to state dinners at the White House, after which their names would be in the paper. But he's held fewer state dinners than any president in memory. Mr. Bush is also a seriously religious man in...
