There's more promised than is ready at the Sabi web site, but, still, the products sound pretty good.

America was not shut down properly. Would you like to start America in safe mode, with free healthcare and without the guns? (Recommended)

You look at the shutdwown politics and think "we're better than this." But then you pause and wonder ... "What if we're not?"

On the broadcast of To The Point last night, one of the guests interviewed drew a parallel between Ronald Reagan and Ted Cruz. In the year before he first ran for governor, 1965 I think, Reagan was considered by many as too extreme and too dangerous. It's hard for me to imagine Cruz gaining popularity now; even harder for me to see him seriously considered as a presidential contender.
