Passion For The Down-trodden!

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:34:10 -0400

It is always a worthy cause to help those who are going through a difficult time. For any number of reasons people can find themselves in circumstances where they can barely survive. It is right and good for us to share what we have with those in need. On the other hand, it is not right and good for me to steal from your pocket to give to the poor.

Obama is losing ground fast!

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:41:06 -0400

Americans are celebrating the latest Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday. McCain now has a nine point lead over Obama (49 percent to 40 percent). What a change from Obama's earlier lead of 7 percentage points!

McCain smacks one out of the park!

Republican Candidate John McCain is still running a fairly mild campaign. Just trying to be Mr. Nice Guy, I guess. But this quote from John McCain being interviewed by Katie Couric is pretty sweet"

Obama - The Fake One

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:01:25 -0400

Andrea Mitchell is the Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for NBC News and she is along on the Obama Publicity Tour to Europe. She is a liberal as you would expect, but apparently it is possible for a 'reporter's pride and principles' to break out of that mold.

The Vision of The Anointed

Tue, 13 May 2008 15:58:22 -0400

The Vision of The Anointed
Written by Thomas Sowell, 1995

I found this book to be truly enlightening. Truths revealed about the last 50 years and more in the United States reveal how we ended up where we are today and hint at where we will be tomorrow. The truths revealed in this book are sometimes disturbing, but then you realize that you are better off to know the truth – even if the truth is not pleasant.

Carry On, Jeeves

Mon, 12 May 2008 05:09:36 -0400

This comedy fiction is made up of eight stories, all written by P.G. Wodehouse (1881 – 1975). He was born in Surrey England and eventually became an American citizen in 1955.

“From the moment Jeeves glides into Bertie Wooster’s life, providing him with a magical hangover cure, Bertie knows he has found the gentleman’s gentleman. Jeeves saves the chronically befuddled Bertie from every jam, even going so far as to follow him to the wilds of New York City.”

First Black President?

Thu, 08 May 2008 12:45:43 -0400

Many of us have heard Bill Clinton referred to as the first Black President. I never knew who had said it, but always understood it to mean that Bill Clinton supported policy's perceived as beneficial to the Black Community.

Ironic Timing

Wed, 07 May 2008 13:51:46 -0400

On September 11, 2001 the New York Times published an article by Dinitia Smith entitled, "No Regrets for a Love of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen". The protester was William Ayers, friend of Barack Hussein Obama. The first sentence of that article goes like this:

Global Warming Solution

Wed, 07 May 2008 07:49:40 -0400

Once they grasped the imminent danger facing the global community, U.S. decision-makers had no choice but to act quickly, and so they did. Petroleum-based fuels are possibly the largest source of man-made carbon so it was only logical to reduce gasoline consumption. The solution proposed was to start blending ethanol (produced from corn) with gasoline. This has been going on long enough now that we can access the impact of this program.

Obama Has a Boyfriend?

Which Race We Talking About?

Tue, 06 May 2008 08:14:50 -0400

She was the only female running in the race. She poured every ounce of her being into this race - running her heart out. But, alas, she came in second. She finished with head held high, but she was quite injured and subsequently euthanized on the track.

What about Aqua Dots?

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 11:51:32 -0500

There is a lot of media attention recently regading the 20 month old boy in the U.S. who ate some of the Aqua Dots craft/toy and was apparently made sick by a chemical breaking down into something like GHB, the date rape drug. Certainly this is a terrible thing and everyone is glad that the little boy is fine now.

Think Amnesty - Think Bi-Partisan

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 14:14:07 -0400

Dingy Harry Reid (lead democrat in U.S. Senate) has been playing a word game with respect to the Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill. Dingy Harry is actively marketing the amnesty bill as President Bush's bill. Obviously President Bush is pushing hard for the bill to pass, but it is a bi-partisan bill. Why is Dingy Harry so careful not to call it bi-partisan?
