The ACLU Has Launched A Blog: Blog Of Rights

I don't always agree with the ACLU. I really don't think that there is anyone out there that agrees with the ACLU 100% of the time -- and that would include ACLU lawyers. But they are a necessity to the running of a constitutional republic such as ours. Watchdog organizations such as the ACLU exist... Sign in to see full entry.

Tom Hanks Endorses Barack Obama

Celebrity endorsements are nothing new. However, the internet has made celebrity endorsements more immediate, just as it has most everything else, by bringing those messages into your home. And you can't get more democratic than that. You choose. You go to the websites to view the endorsements.... Sign in to see full entry.

Obama Rising Above It All

Senator Barack Obama is proving a bit of a problem for the Clinton political machine. The woman (and heir apparent -- or so some thought) that seemed so invincible just a few short months ago has been defeated in Iowa, barely won New Hampshire, comfortably won Michigan (no delegates) and Nevada, and...

Attack Of The Best And Worst Lists Of 2007...

They've already started, as they do every year. It seems that Time Magazine usually gets the ball rolling with its Person of the Year announcement. Then everybody jumps in. The prettiest, the dumbest, the shortest, the greatest, the biggest, the worst, the least, the most, the top, the bottom, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Perino Says She Was Kidding About Cuban Missile Crisis

Dana Perino, President Bush's press secretary, says that she was kidding about not knowing about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Doubtful, considering that on the NPR program where she made the slip-up, she followed the question by referring to "that Bay of Pigs thing?" Not quite. When asked about what...

How Many Out There Have Never Heard Of The Cuban Missile Crisis?

Now, I know there are a few. And I feel certain that Jay Leno has probably asked this question and recieved some humdingers for answers. But would you expect the White House press secretary to be ignorant of such an important date in history? Dana Perino admitted that a question that referred to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Have You Seen "The B***h" Video Yet?

Well, if you haven't seen "The Bitch" video, yet, don't worry. You will. It's bound to become the next big political controversy. While Senator John McCain was meeting with his political supporters in South Carolina, one woman stood up and asked, "What do we do about the bitch?" To his credit,... Sign in to see full entry.

Christmas Season, The Definition Of A Perpetrated Fraud

What an antiquated, commercialized, ridiculously fraudulent day, both in its false history and in its manufactured good cheer... My manufactured good cheer reads Jim Beam on the bottle... Sign in to see full entry.

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week

No, it isn't Spring Break in the Fall. But it is being observed on over two hundred campuses across the nation. Believe it or not, and as bad as it sounds, it is a week dedicated toward enlightening people to the human rights abuses and terrorism being sponsored by Islamic extremists. Terrorism...

Condi Rice Calls For Palestinian State, Ignores Turkish Incursion In Iraq

Besides the president himself, the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice may be the most worthless government official currently serving. She has been ineffectual at best, running around the world doing photo ops, making pat statements, towing the Bush administrative line (for the most part -- she has... Sign in to see full entry.
