Obama Elementary School (Ugh!)
Posted by admin / Under Hempstead Lake State Park
"...Nobody is asking questions because they voted for an idea. Not Barack Obama’s ideas, but their own ideas. They picked something they really wanted or really needed and decided that Barack Obama could and would do it for them. Barack Obama represents to them a utopian idea that divorces itself from reality. The Barack Obama Elementary School is just a reaffirmation of that charge. He’s done nothing, but we’ve already named a school after him..."

Road block: Why the rage against the Trans-Texas Corridor?
Posted by admin / Under Hempstead Lake State Park
HEMPSTEAD -- The Trans Texas Corridor may be the most controversial highway ever built in Texas. That is, if it ever gets built. All month, there have been public hearings throughout the area where people have been showing up in droves to oppose it.

The plans call for it to come through here, and with it: separate lanes for...
