Former Houston Mayor Bill White, a Democrat, appears to be in desperate need of a 12-step mental health recovery program to overcome his "spendaholic" addiction to spending the hard-earned cash of the taxpayers.

While serving as the mayor of the nation's fourth largest city, he had driven Houston to near-bankruptcy, as disclosed by retired Ernst & Young accountants, with a city budget deficit that soared to over $100 million. Now, he wants to bring his 'Taxachussetts' mentality to Austin as the Democratic nominee for the 2010 Texas governor's race.

Peter Hitchens offers a compelling memoir on his journey back to Christianity. He writes, "How I found God and peace with my atheist brother."

The Daily Mail of London reports that, "during his teenage years and early 20s, Peter Hitchens lost his faith and rebelled against everything he had been brought up to believe in. Here, in a moving and thought-provoking account from his controversial new book, he describes his spiritual journey back to God - and the end of his feud with his brother."

More than 12,000 illegal immigrants, non-permanent residents or non-U.S. citizens paid in-state tuition or non-U.S. citizens paid-in-state tuition or received after financial aid at public universities and colleges across Texas during late 2009, the Dallas Morning News disclosed today.

The Uncommon Daily Wisom news website purchased the Internet ad space, which accuses Obama and U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke of deliberately devaluing the dollar due to record-breaking government deficits.

In a stunning rebuke to the pagan worshippers at the Air Force Academy, President Barack Obama and the First Lady Michelle Obama did not invite them to the eco-friendly White House Easter Egg Roll this year. Perhaps, the Air Force pagans do not participate in ceremonies to honor the environmental goddess of Mother Earth, which may explain the disinvitation.

In an e-mail response to the Dallas Blog, Pagan Priest Brandon Longcrier, who was featured in a Fox News article, had written, "No, we (the "pagan worshippers at the Air Force Academy") were not invited. Maybe next year ... and can we not get into whose holiday came first and where from? Christians have Easter, so let them have it and let them enjoy it for what it means to them.
