  • I might steal your diamonds and bring you back some gold.

    Before leaving for DC Toby loaned me a copy of Jay Dobyns new book that both Toby and I highly recommend. Jay was a ATF undercover agent who wrote a great killer book (and I imagine soon to be movie) titled "No Angel" in which he accounts how he and ...
  • Remain Maintain Contain and Hope

    My good acquaintance Texas Governor Rick Perry has been making headlines recently by declaring that Texas has the right to secede from the Union. He's wrong but here's what he's thinking. After Ricks' great great ancestors fought in and won the deciding b...
