Dominique Dorsey III


After being unable to make the Redskins' roster this season, Dominique Dorsey has returned to Toronto, and it seems they are very happy to see his return.

Can They Hear Us Now?

Yesterday; on September 12th 2009, Washington DC was flooded with people protesting against government expansion. Some were anti-Obama, some were anti-big government, some were pro-Bush, some were Republicans, some were Democrats, some were Libertarians, some were Independants. Some were protesting recent government expansion, some were protesting a long string of abuses. Some were young, some were old. But they were all fed up with Washington. I've seen some saying this was just this or that group, or this or that group shouldn't support it because this or that group was supporting it. This seems to be missing the point, whether or not all of any of one group's ideas are "correct" doesn't matter. What matters is that they are all fed up with big government. They may not agree on how small a government should be, or what that government should do, but they all think it should be smaller than it is.

This is where the focus should be, once we have shrunk the size of government, then we can have these discussions of what it should be doing, but for now, lets focus on the first step, shrinking the scope of power that Washington yeilds.

Estimates of the crowd size varies from 30,000-2 million. Capitol Hill Police are said to have estimated 1.2 million. I don't know which numbers are correct, but it was a lot of people; and they were joined by many more at Tea Parties across the country. Maybe some one in the monstrosity which calls itself a government took notice.

Dominique Dorsey II


Well, many of you seem to have read my report on my freshman year roommate Dominique Dorsey getting a try in the NFL with the Washington Redskins. Unfortunately it seems he did not impress the Redskins coaching staff enough, he did not make it past the Sept. 5th cut down to a 53 man roster. Niether was he signed to the practice squad on the 6th, although rumor seemed that he would. If no other NFL team shows interest, his old team in the CFL, the Toronto Argonaugts, are chomping at the bit to get him back. I don't know what's going to happen now, but I wish him the best.
