The Phil Gramm Debating Society

Phil Gramm says we are a nation of whiners. God. He ALWAYS says that. But maybe he's right. Whine away, pro or con.

Josh Smith's Buzzer Beater Lifts Hawks Past Rockets (VIDEO)

Last night the Houston Rockets and surprising Atlanta Hawks were locked up at 103-103 with mere seconds left on the clock. With three seconds remaining, Hawks guard Mike Bibby fired off a shot that rattled off the rim and backboard, appearing to send the game to overtime. Yet forward Josh Smith flew off the paint and shoved the ball through the hoop with 0.7 seconds left in regulation. The 11-2 Hawks prevailed, 105-103, and continue to hold a one-game lead over the Orlando Magic in the Southeast division.

It's always sad when your pet runs off, especially if he has giant balls or is a rodent masquerading as a cat. While we hope all the pets found their ways to safe homes, were pretty sure these people shouldn't be in charge of anything that has a pulse and completely understand why they ran away.

Dear Redacted

Dear Redacted
(Wednesday, July 25, 2007)


We are home in Arizona as of 1 am July 24. EXACTLY one year after we arrived..to the day...from our terrible war adventure.

It was a long hard trip (redacted). Good and bad...mostly closure of some things. Letting go of the ideal of "expatriatism" for now. It has been my central motivation and I realize now that I must move forward and I must move in this direction and at this pace.

What to do. The Middle East is a downright catastrophe and as… Continue

I am the blossom of the X Generation
now watch me go to seed.
Not born in the fifties, unable to really read.

This is true blue flag waving
in a yellow polka dot bikini.
This is me who never watched a single flick Fellini.

Here I am Tonto bound
a prize in a box of carmelled corn.

Up on the mantle is Maya Angelou
she's talking to Big Bird
yet her friend Dr. Seuss thinks deterrence an itsy bit absurd.

warning labels and the price tag
no longer legible. It began
with flashy children and fast cars
then people started talking
about the leftover stuff
after the move out,
wondered what would happen
to the crystal ball and Japanese flag.
Where to put Mars now?
Whose house next?



Yesterday it was exactly two years ago that I began my exile in my own hometown. The irony of that nearly drove me ma… Continue

The End of Supply Side Economics

Each in our own way are coming to the realization that Reaganomics was indeed, Voodoo economics. The concept that greed is good coexisting with the self regulating discipline of the marketplace only served to reveal and amplify the worst of human nature. From the ashes of supply side economics rises the phoenix of Wall Street Socialism, whereby profit is for the top 1% and the risk is distributed to the taxpayers. The new meme thrust upon us is that, in the words of Animal Farm, some pigs are mo… Continue

Gamm is gone, but John and George are more than here.

Was Gramm out of touch? He was not alone.
