Now, I’m gonna state right-out that I’m not watching the Democrat convention.  Now, before people get too long-winded here, I most likely won’t watch the Republican convention either.  There’s just not really much point in either this year, as most years.  However, what I do like to watch is the reaction to the convention.  After [...]

CNN is running a survey that means something:
Should corporal punishment be banned in schools?
Yes, 44%, 61725
No, 56%, 80104
Total Votes: 141829
Now, I’m with the No’s on this one.  I come from the pre-ban days when teachers just whipped the fire out of kids.  However, it wasn’t really like a scene from The Wall.  My first introduction [...]

That’s the teaser on CNN.  Here’s some of the meat:
A Democratic point man on the budget, Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, blasted the administration for its “reckless fiscal policies,” blaming the president’s tax cuts for driving the government into deficit and saying Bush “will be remembered as the most fiscally irresponsible president in our [...]

That’s the headline on CNN.  The headline NOT on CNN is:
Unable to pay bills, London, Ky. YMCA closes
And, the reason they decided to give up?
Director Don Burgin said the London-Laurel County “Y” struggled with $6,000 monthly utility bills and its budget was further stretched by an increase in the minimum wage.
And of course, who do [...]

An article today pointed to the fact that not all National Rifle Association members are against Obama.  Heck, Obama even has the support of the American Hunters and Shooters Association.  Hey, since it has the words “hunter” and “shooter” in its title, it’s got to be about guys who like to shoot things with guns, [...]

Barack Obama’s campaign has been all about “change“.  However, one thing seems bound not to change if Obama is elected.  Whereas we’ve had to deal with nucular, internets, and global warmings, now we’ll get muddled facts instead of words:

Marking the anniversary of the March 1965 “Bloody Sunday” in Selma, Ala., Obama, speaking at a church, [...]

A while back I did a piece quantifying SOME media’s reluctance to out Democrat crooks’ party affiliation.  It was pretty staggeringly obvious.  Something like 3,000+ words and not mentioning any of the crooks were Democrat, two words before they could blurt out the Republican.  Well, those bizarrely obvious figures just keep getting worse.  Here’s today’s [...]

During the last few years one of the main political footballs has been national security.  Due to many Democrats’ strong anti-war rhetoric, the Republicans accused many Democrat candidates of being soft on security.  And, the Democrats kept shooting back that they weren’t.  Well, here’s what’s happening now that the Democrats are in charge of national [...]

I have argued here a long time that most of the fears of nuclear energy are based on fear itself. Fear of the unknown as people don’t easily comprehend how nuclear energy works and don’t want to look into enough to sate those fears. People like Helen Caldicott and a lot of the [...]

Nancy Pelosi condemned the Republicans as a culture of corruption in her efforts to take over Congress. And, people bought it apparently. Since then we’ve had Barbara Boxer very quietly slip out of the spotlight after giving her husband billions of taxpayer money. We had William Jefferson, under investigation for taking bribes put [...]
