The story out of Scotland is that some of the Scottish PM’s are upset that they are no plans to move the Stone of Scone to it’s rightful home at Scone Palace. Instead, it will reside (under British control) at Edinburgh castle. It is almost as if they are saying see we returned the stone, but it is not really yours.Stone of Scone . This is further evidence of look at what they do, not at what they say.

(On the Stone of Scone issue, the Scots make indeed have the last laugh. There are three potential candidates for the Stone of Scone. The one pictured at Scone palace, the one at the bottom of the latrine of Scone palace and the one at Edinburgh Castle. It seems that some copies were made, and the Scots may have sent England the copy and kept the original for themselves.)

In Texas, the Congress Critters voted to violate the limits on spending they put into place. House Violates Constitutional Amendment  What makes it worse is that it was by Constitutional amendment. They have no regard for the law, yet they expect us to abide by every whim they pass. If Texans ran their budget like the state, we could live high on the hog and never worry about reality either.

A brave judge in Texas did strike down Perry’s ability to be a tyrant. He trimmed his power to hand down executive orders.Executive Power Trimmed . That tells me that there are a few brave souls out there who have a respect for law.

Apparently the South Carolina flag issue continues. South Carolina has had increasing tourist numbers, so the NAACP boycott has not had the detrimental effect they had hoped. The meddlesome Yankee lawmakers just want to make SC a whuppin’ boy for the nation for flying the flag on the Statehouse grounds.  It seems that with the national election cycle, they trot out South Carolina and use them for speech fodder. They did it the year that George II campaigned for the throne, and they are doing it again. Back when George ran for office, I wrote him about the flag issue, he said that it was a State issue. He continues viewing it as a State issue. When he first took that stand, I supported him, although I was stabbed in the back when like a weasel,  he took the plaques off the Courthouse in the evening when no one was lookin’ after Gary Bledsoe wrote a letter complaining. His friend Alberto Gonzales advised him in the matter, so Bush and Gonzales conspired in their underhanded ways. BUSH SOLD OUT! It was a warning then as much as it is now. Just as Texas was sold out, has done it to others. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. His underhanded handling of the courthouse is just like the underhanded tactics of the English in dealing with the Stone of Scone regarding Scotland. Bush is descended from Yankee stock, which is in turn from British stock.

Free Dixie, Not Iraq!,
