There Are Actually A Few Non-Communists In The DemonRat Party

The Arkansas Democrat has a good editorial today praising our Democrat Senator, Blanche Lambert Lincoln, for breaking from her party’s standard support of wealth confiscation and voting in favor of a permanent repeal of the estate tax. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough fair minded Democrats in the Senate to outweigh the fans of big government and Tom Daschole’s 60 vote rule for lowering taxes.

Link warning: The link to the editorial may not work for everyone. The Arkansas Democrat is one of the most difficult news sites on the web to link to stories, which is why I rarely discuss articles I read there.

Been There, Done That

It’s been over nine years since we made the big move from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. Stories like this, explaining that the Bay Area still has some of the worst traffic congestion in the country, reaffirm the wisdom of the move in my mind.

Having worked in several Bay Area cities, including San Francisco, Oakland, Fremont, San Ramon, Dublin and Santa Clara, and wasting countless hours in beep & creep traffic, all I can say is “been there, done that,” and feel gratitude for the current commute from one end of our main house to the other.
