Medicine for the Pursuit of Happiness

SLOWDOWN THERAPY Slow down; God is still in heaven. You are not responsible for doing it all yourself, right now. Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past. Rest there. Each moment has richness that takes a lifetime to savor. Set your own pace. When someone is pushing you, it's OK to tell them... Sign in to see full entry.

Is America on the right track, or not?

Two news items, heard on the radio with not even a breath between: Bush’s approval numbers are down, and only 30-something percent of Americans think the country is on the right track. Immediately following: Tax revenues exceed projections, allowing deficits to be reduced. Well, well... I thought... Sign in to see full entry.

WEALTH: EARNED, PRODUCED OR DISTRIBUTED?

Sent to me by a friend: WEALTH: EARNED, PRODUCED OR DISTRIBUTED? The New York Times is reporting with great fanfare that the gap between the rich and the poor is rising. They seem aghast that the top.1 percent of income earners are raking in an average of $3 million a year. Furthermore, That's only... Sign in to see full entry.

Liberals and the level playing field

Liberals are fond of claiming that they are all for having a level playing field. If so, then where were they when the playing field of the United States Senate was so grossly out of level for the President's judicial appointees and John Bolton?

Questions I want the liberals to answer

How does it feel to have the great conservative justice Clarence Thomas, target of so much liberal hatred, defending states' rights concerning use of marijuana for medicinal purposes? If Bush is an idiot because of his grades at Yale, what does that make Kerry, with his four Ds in his freshman year?... Sign in to see full entry.

Did al Qaeda terrorists destroy Qu'rans? If so, where's the outrage?

With all the rioting and other outrages that greeted a false Fictionweek report that American guards had desecrated Qu'rans - the very Qu'rans they had given the detainees, you're welcome! - at Guantanemo, I find it odd that there have not been any reports of protests against the al Qaeda terrorists...

Would someone please define "extraordinary circumstances"?

Now that the so-called "moderates" (the Republicans among whom are better described as sellouts) in the Senate have brokered a back-room compromise that allows judicial nominees to continue to be filibustered in the event of "extraordinary circumstances," would someone please define what consitutes...

Judicial independence? What judicial independence?

In hearing various attacks on judicial nominees (gee, I thought it was wrong to criticize judges... ) by liberal Senators, I have yet to hear any of the liberals criticize a judge for ruling in violation of the law. They are full of allegations - Senators Kennedy and Boxer in particular - but their... Sign in to see full entry.

Three Little Lies

Lie: Americans are killing women and children in Iraq. Fact: Terrorists are utterly indiscriminate in who they kill. A tape attributed to terrorist leader Zarqawi promises death to anyone, including women and children, who interfere with his jihad against the U. S. Lie: The Democrats are the only...

Bush administration responsible for the Fictionweek riots? Libs say Yes!

Fictionweek’s incitement of riots in the Muslim nations continues to generate thoughts and questions. There has been noise made that the fault for the riots lies with the Bush administration. No, you didn’t misread that. Some liberals and Bush-haters are blaming the President and his administration... Sign in to see full entry.
