I have the Social Security issue all figured out ( again ).  It doesn’t require cutting back benefits or raising taxes.  It’s simple too.
Just expand the death penalty to include crimes that result in abuse or death.  That category would include molesters, drug dealers, and “insane” murderers.  Make it a lot simpler to enforce if [...]

I have written a few times about Westboro Church.  They are disgusting and abusing religion in the worst possible way.  Well, one father of a slain soldier has had enough.  Albert Snyder, father of Matthew Snyder, is suing Westboro for disrupting his son’s funeral.  I am 100% in support of Albert’s lawsuit.  However, he’s an [...]

Kathy Griffin won an Emmy for making people laugh.  Well some people anyway, I don’t have a clue who she is.  However, she felt compelled to undo that laughter with her acceptance speech:
“A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this. He had nothing to do with this,” Griffin said. “Suck it, [...]

Kevin Rudd is a very popular politician in Australia.  He has run on conervative Christian values and has done quite well using that platform.  That platform has been quite used in the US for about 25 years or so, but is still fairly unusual in Australia.  So, people in Australia are having quite a time [...]

Spent a little bit of the last hour or so mulling over someone mulling from the middle. In this case, it’s Kevin Sullivan. In this case, he really does seem to live in the middle. I REALLY like what he’s got to say and will be keeping an eye on his stuff.

Perhaps naively, I still believe genuine corruption among Congressmen and other major officials in American politics is an aberration rather than routine. The people who aspire [...]

Every time the G-8 convenes, a bunch of people feel compelled to protest. More often than not they don’t know why, they just know they have to. Like you know when you have to poop, pee, and eat, these people know they have to protest. Case in point about how they don’t [...]

Nah, this isn’t going to be your typical illegal alien rant. This is much more important:

Booed mercilessly at the Miss Universe pageant by a Mexican audience angry at U.S. immigration policy, and seen by millions of TV viewers as she slipped and fell on the pageant stage, Miss USA Rachel Smith nonetheless managed to take [...]

I wasn’t going to say anything about Falwell’s passing, but feel remiss for not. So, I’m gonna tackle it as best I can.
I have never been a fan of Falwell’s. Ever. When I was a small kid and he was on television, I either laughed at how inane he was, or just [...]

Democrat John Edwards’ call for voters to speak out against the Iraq war on Memorial Day weekend has drawn criticism from a leader of the American Legion, who called the effort “revolting.”In an e-mail message and on his Web site, Edwards asks supporters to honor and pray for the troops over the Memorial Day weekend [...]
