STEWART/GATES
Robert Gates served in the
United States Air Force from 1967-69. He was recruited by the CIA and rose in
the ranks to serve in various high ranking intelligence roles for the Reagan
and H.W. Bush White House.
Mr.

2006. After the 2006 mid-term elections, then-President Bush nominated Gates to
replace Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense. Gates continued his role as
Secretary of Defense during President Barack Obama's first term in office.
After retirement, Gates was elected to serve as president of the Boy Scouts of
America with his two-year term starting this coming May.

2013 NFL SEASON: CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY
Conference
Championship Sunday is the final home game of the season for two teams. Two
teams will advance to Super Bowl XLVIII while two teams will have to wait until
next season for a shot at glory.
Speaking
of glory, I finished last week with a perfect 4-0 record to run my playoff
record to 6-2. Ms. Roberts is currently 5-3 while Mr. Blake is 4-4.

STAY CLASSY DENTON COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY (DOUBLE DOWN)
Remember
this
posting about statements towards Senators Davis and Van de Putte circulated
by Denton County Republican Party Chairwoman Dianne Edmondson?
She
apparently doubled down on her statement in this recording of a Denton County Republican Party meeting obtained by the Lone
Star Project.

2013 NFL SEASON: DIVISIONAL ROUND
This
is a rather odd feeling for me. For the first time in 18 years, the local NFL
team is playing a home divisional round playoff game which is odd because I
thought local NFL teams don't play in January.
The
Cowboys 2007 playoff game in January 2008 does not count because at the time I
was in Hampton Roads, VA which 1) doesn't have an NFL franchise and 2) I was
there because I was stationed aboard the carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) assisting with her refueling operation.
I'd have to go back to the 1995 playoffs when the Cowboys were the NFC #1 seed
and defeated the Eagles, Packers, and Steelers en route to their most recent
championship.
Just
make a mental note: don't go anywhere near I-25, Colfax Ave, and Federal Blvd. on
Sunday. Best to watch the games on television like I always do.
As
for our playoff records, Ms. Roberts, Mr. Blake, and I started the playoffs
with similar 2-2 records. How we got there was very different.
