The Further Adventures of Capt. Eddie
What's that boy up to now?
I have several things I’d like to write about and post here… but life has been very hectic the past couple of weeks. Likely to get even more hectic before it lets up. So the words of wisdom may be delayed even farther.
Never fear, though, they will show up sooner or later.

There’s a lot of talk recently that Special Counsel Robert Mueller wants to question President Donald Trump directly about possible collusion with the Russians during the 2016 election and subsequent obstruction of justice.
When I think about this, I envision something like the courtroom scene in A Few Good Men.
I know…. You’re thinking about Jack Nicholson’s famous line, “You can’t handle the truth!” Nope, that’s not it. I see an even better correlation. …

I have finally had enough of Blogger and its eccentricities, so I am moving to WordPress. Moreover, I have found better webhosting, so I am able to self-host my WordPress blog with a minimum of effort. Basically, once it’s set up, I just post like I would have on Blogger.

Let’s talk about obstruction of justice. There are apparently a lot of people who do not believe that President Donald Trump has been involved in obstruction of justice regarding the FBI investigations of his campaign and associates. They come up with various lines of reasoning to explain why Trump’s requests to former FBI Director James Comey to back off of his investigations are not criminal, or are not technically obstruction, or whatever.
So let’s examine …
If It Quacks Like Obstruction…. Read MoreDear Senator Hughes,
I see that you are a co-author of SB6. However, I am writing to express my strong opposition to this type of legislation.
On the practical side: It is a waste of time and money. It is unnecessary. It will not solve any “safety” problems that it is purported to be the solution to. It is unenforceable. Its backlash, as demonstrated in other states, will cause significant harm to the Texas economy.…
