Monday, February 26th, 2007

Here in Austin, there is an annual Kite festival which takes place this year on Sunday March 4, 2007. Lots of beautiful kites and a great Austin crowd, young and old. If you are interested check it out

Jon Stewart debates gay marriage with Bill Bennett

Sunday, October 29th, 2006
