A Politically Correct "'Twas The Night Before Christmas?" Southern-style?

I was in a Books-A-Million the other day and happened to espy on a small table a small children's book-like offering that was entitled, A Southern 'Twas The Night Before Christmas -- or something to that affect. Thinking it might be a Jeff Foxworthy/Larry the Cable Guy/Rodney Carrington/Blake Carter... Sign in to see full entry.

Democracy Or Theocracy?

I saw a poll yesterday on one of the news networks that reflected American opinion on what the future government of Iraq would most likely be, a democracy or a theocracy. I forget the exact numbers and they do not matter, because the point I wish to make is derived from the question itself. Why must... Sign in to see full entry.

The Continuing Influence Of Cindy Sheehan

What I don't get is everyone's vehemence when it comes to expressing their opinion, especially when contradicting the opinion of another. Cindy Sheehan has every right to protest the war and call for the impeachment of Dubya, just as anyone else in this country does. Outlawing assembling and... Sign in to see full entry.

Somwhere In Texas, A Village Is Missing An Idiot

There is a website dedicated to the bashing of a president. And this is a good thing. It's also funny as hell. The above title is a slogan on a tee-shirt. Another great one is: "January 20, 2009: The End Of An Error." And close behind is (with a picture of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld): "Asses Of... Sign in to see full entry.

Tis The Season To Beat Down Your Neighbor To Get Inside Wal-Mart First

Whatever happened to the ideal that the Holiday Season was a time of charity, caregiving and caretaking of our fellow man, general philanthropy and good will? Well, it disappeared with the capitalist creation of that one-day selling monster, Black Friday. It seems like every store on the planet has... Sign in to see full entry.

Can Anyone Tell Me Why Sean Hannity Anchors A Show?

I caught the beginning of Hannity and Colmes on Fox News tonight and I must say that, pound for pound, there is not a more obnoxious, combative, disrespectful, ill-mannered, and insulting a man than Sean Hannity on television. Not since Morton Downey have I seen a more disgraceful excuse for an... Sign in to see full entry.

T.O. Stands For 'Tossed Out'

Terrell Owens issued a half-assed apology today. He apologized to 'his' fans who rooted for 'him' (that just so happened to be Eagles fans). How about apologizing to all the Eagles fans who rooted for you even though they couldn't stand your self-centered ass, T. O.? How about apologizing to the... Sign in to see full entry.

T.O. Given The Boot By The Eagles -- And About Time

It may hurt their chances for making the playoffs this year, but the Philadelphia Eagles organization finally said 'enough is enough' and suspended Terrell Owens for four games after he mouthed off to reporters about not being appreciated for his 100th rushing touchdown. Well, boo-the-hell-hoo,... Sign in to see full entry.

Sharpton Doing Cosby -- Seriously

Al Sharpton was one of the many notable speakers who eulogized the civil rights activist Rosa Parks, whose funeral was held today in Detroit, Michigan. Sounding like a louder echo (I know, but it's true)of Bill Cosby, who drew criticism for his condemnation of younger generations of blacks for not... Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Believe In Ghosts?

Well, do you? Believe in ghosts? According to a recent CBS News poll, 48% of Americans believe in ghosts, as opposed to 45% who do not. Of those 48%, 56 percent are women, whereas only 38% are men. Also of that percentage, 22% say they've either seen or felt the presence of a ghost. There are quite... Sign in to see full entry.
