During a debate for a senatorial seat in 1858, Democratic candidate Stephen Douglas accused Abraham Lincoln of being two-faced.

Lincoln didn't miss a beat.



"If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?" he quipped.



Up on the stage, carefully rehearsed speeches won't do the trick. Politicians have to be prepared to engage in a battle of wits with their opponents, and humor is their best weapon.

My parents taught me to read when I was 5 years old. I had not yet begun kindergarten and was already a ready-reader.Somewhere between 1991 and 2001, I decided to stop reading. I was not a bad reader, I could read aloud and understand the characters in the text, but I hated books.

However, I loved video games, something some parents would often see as a crime against the literary world.

The first game I remember playing was by the Sierra software company called "King's Quest."

Professional hockey entertaining, deserves more fan support

Published Oct 3, 2007

During the weekend, the National Hockey League kicked off the 2007-2008 regular season in London with a pair of games between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks.My guess would be that only about 2 percent of Americans were aware these games were even occurring as the rest of the country hunkered down for a hearty weekend of college and professional football.

The fact of the matter is professional hockey ranks somewhere between professional bowling and competitive watermelon seed spitting in the minds of most Americans.

Sad, but true.

It was a production of "Amadeus" that made him utter the words, "I wanna do that!" Since then, he has dreamed of acting. David Fluitt, a 2004 graduate, will play the lead role in "Macbeth" for Shakespeare Dallas this month.

Fluitt, now 31, grew up in South Texas, before moving to East Texas in 1995. The youngest of three children by many years, Fluitt said he basically grew up as an only child.

"I think it helped contribute to my imagination," Fluitt said. "I had to come up with ways to entertain myself when no one else was around."
