These are interesting days in our nation's history. Yesterday Texas offered a bill reaffirming the 10th Amendment that declares sovereignty from the Federal Government related to all limitations placed on the Federal Government by the Constitution. It's the closest thing we've had to secession since the Civil War.
Today, on tax day, there are at least 300 Tea Parties taking place in 50 states. These are loosely organized gatherings of protesters modeled after the Boston Tea Party of our nations history. They are likely not organized around any particular thing, but give anyone that wants to protest a platform to dissent with the government.
This week we fought pirates on the high seas, and had a national debate over whether the President's dog was an appropriate fit in the White House.
But the Orioles are 6-2... These are interesting days.
