Baby Carney



Baby Carney wouldn't cooperate this morning during the sonogram so we still don't the know the sex. We are scheduled for another sonogram on July 10th, so hopefully our little trouble maker will behave properly.

But the good news everything looks healthy and "normal size".

Brian and Collin are Famous

My latest column deals with political corruption and a recent case in which a Congressman allegedly took some bribes to help get a subsidy for a friend's company. I use Brian and Collin Boler to make a point:
Two of my nephews on my wife's side are adorable twin boys who are also amazingly mischievous. They will slam, push, throw, and climb anything they can--often working as a team to topple the larger items. My sister-in-law has done everything in her power to correct their behavior, but give the boys just a moment alone with a floor lamp and lampshades will be flying and cords will swing wildly. The only remedy was to remove everything from the living room that these boys could possibly move.

As a fireplace poker is to an 18-month-old boy, so is a federal subsidy program to a politician. No good can come from leaving it in his reach; it's possible he might do no harm with it; but leave the two in the same room long enough--and you're asking for trouble.
If you're interested, read the full story here.
