Howdy from College Station!
Well I've now relocated to my new location- Texas A&M University at College Station!! College is pretty cool... except for the class, of course...
On a more serious note, everybody please remember to keep the victims and survivors of Hurricane Katrina in your thoughts and prayers... if you can, try to give a little. Very sad situation over there.
Have a safe and blessed week, everybody

Book Review
Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, by Bernard Goldberg
I just finished reading an excellent, excellent book about the liberal bias in the media. Bias, written by someone who has had many years of working at CBS, truly gives new insight into the news. "Breaking ranks and naming names", Goldberg describes the Dr. Jekell/Mr. Hyde personality of Dan Rather; the media that does not accurately reflect America; the attempted "sensitivity" of the media; and what has happened to people such as himself and just a handful of others who have spoken out about it.
Goldberg is not your run-of-the-mill conservative, however; in fact, he describes that, at least up until the 1996 Presidential election, he had never voted Republican in his life! Yet he still feels the need to report the news accurately and fairly. The media needs more like him.
Definately worth the price of the book. An excellent read, for liberals and conservatives alike.
