More Real ID Stuff

From an article in USA Today: "Six state legislatures are defying a federal law requiring new driver's licenses that aim to prevent identity theft, fraud and terrorism."

Hopefully, this is just the beginning and the actions of these States will prompt others to stand up to the FedGov on Real ID and it's implications as a national ID card. It will be interesting to watch the actions of the feds as this unfolds. Will the feds bow to the states, or respond in a manner to force compliance? We shall see....

Roger's Back (YAWN)

Roger Clemens made a successful debut in his return to the New York Yankees today, earning the win by pitching 6 innings in the Yankees 9-3 win over the Pittsburd Pirates. Read More.

Personally, my thoughts are more in line with those expressed in this opinion article by Nancy Armour. I thought it was nice when he unretired the first time to pitch for his hometown Houston Astros. Last year, when he dithered before finally returning to the Astros, I was pretty much an uninterested observer. This year, I can honestly say I was tired of seeing his name in the paper and on online sports reports.

Maybe this year will finally be it, and we'll be spared any more "Clemens Drama" until he is elected to the Hall of Fame.
