Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.

I kid you not. John Nichols at The Nation actually is blaming this “pandemic” on Republicans. He’s serious too. Here’s some meat: When House Appropriations Committee chairman David Obey, the Wisconsin Democrat who has long championed investment in pandemic preparation, included roughly $900 million for that purpose in this year’s emergency stimulus bill, he was ridiculed [...]
Ever read one of those posts that just puzzles you? I do that all the time. Kinda like sitting in a chair that’s about to tilt over. Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes it hurts. I was reading a post by Andrew Pavelyev in The New Majority and got that feeling. He meanders until he reaches his [...]
A lot has been made of Barack Obama inviting Rick Warren to give an invocation at his inauguration. A lot of people are upset. I’m not. This really isn’t much of an issue that affects my day to day life. What I have enjoyed is watching people who advocate various political policies squirm. The left [...]
Thursday night John McCain gave a rousing speech, finishing it off with a call to fight. His urge was barely audible over the wildly cheering crowd: Apparently excited that they finally had a candidate that felt their pain, several hundred anarchists promptly got arrested chanting “F**k the police!”. OK, hands up here, how many people [...]
In the past, and sometimes nowadays, I have pretty much tired of political parties. We’re in the 21st century. The tool necessary to get the word out in the 18th century just isn’t necessary anymore. Never has party unity and loyalty been any more muddled than this year. Last night, longtime Democrat, and one-tome Democrat [...]
Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks. The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves. So, the whole [...]
Received this via email. It’s so true in so many ways: A biker is riding his Harley by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The [...]
Barack Obama’s having a rough week. First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it. That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson: “See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a [...]
According to Congressional Quarterly, the House is on its way to passing an Alternative Minimum Tax patch to keep things the way they are right now. Apparently the Republicans, who initially raised the limits, support it, the Democrats want those exemptions gone. That’s good news to me. According to the Democrats over the last few [...]
I LOVE this! The Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting is proposing a $300 million government prize to whomever can develop an automobile battery that far surpasses existing technology. The bounty would equate to $1 for every man, woman and child in the country, “a small price to pay for helping to break the back of our oil [...]
