… or, by her own words:"A fan, she said, had sent her a biblical passage. Isaiah 49:16 reads: “See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.” “Hey, if it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it’s good...

Jon Stewart said, I believe, "The Republicans hate Obama more than they love their country" whether this will fan out to be proven as correct, I am not really sure - some Republicans must love their country more than detest the current president.Yet we also have to look at...

... something that, to some, is quite unimaginable but now perfectly feasible - corporatocracy.Roy C gave us this really well written piece. Written, of course with his slant on it, I can see why he would look upon the SCOTUS decision as a move to where unlimited freedom of...

Something always comes to mind when someone calls me an elitist, liberal supporter - "Thanks".If someone goes for the jugular and really gets into my face and calls me a left-wing, socialist, Marxist or whatever they want to call me adding, as always, I must be a Satanist,...
Now I don't have much time for the teabagging fraternity, a real bunch of, mainly, racist head-bangers whose sole purpose is ... well, will we ever know?It's one of those scratch your head movements. One that seems to be doing all the right things, speaking up for the people...

I take no credit ... at all ... in saying what I am about to say, because, to me, anyone with a halfpenny of common sense will tell you exactly the same thing. The biggest problem with trying to fight terrorism is that bureaucrats are calling the shots. It is as simple,...

I wrote a story about how the terrorist have won a short while ago - this, in the wake of the most recent terrorist attempt - is an addition to that story.With most things you have to put them into perspective, which, as we have seen from the clamour and calls, isn't what is...

Another, albeit fundamental one. Something that should be said, and said again, and again and a gain. If you really feel that if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear - you are a fool of the highest order. This is one area where we all should come together -...

We all say it - "I am being 150% honest", "100% positive? Nope - 200% positive!". We use that because we want to explain that what we are saying or doing is good, perfect and right - though, as we also know, many times we are completely wrong and have to eat a bit of humble...

Now that Palin has tasted the high life she is not about to give it up any time soon - and if that means making Liberals squirm while she speaks and is televised, or whoops it up with her 'fellow' neo-con nutcases as they buy into her persona, so be it.Yet, with one piece of...

Yes, there are some people who take the showman seriously - more fool them?Personally I think so - but is it just a matter that Beck plays on ignorance? That wouldn't seem to be the case with those who currently comment about him and are, at least at face value, quite...
Almost for longer than time itself - OK, slight exaggeration - insurance companies have being trying so hard, millions of dollars in attack ad's, to protect their profits, they now come out into the open and say - quite openly - that they really don't believe in competition...
