Jimmy Carter replaced five secretaries during his 1979 "midsummer massacre," and Bill Clinton replaced seven secretaries in the two months following his 1996 reelection. A complete reference on cabinet members for all presidents can be found here .

I have only seen one episode of Desperate Housewives. No moral value that I could find. If anything, from my one exposure, I would say it was more like a desecration of the traditional family. I agree with you on South Park. I love that show!

As everyone already knows, during this last election, exit polls showed that 20% of voters cited "moral values" as their top concern. "Desperate Housewives" is currently the #1 rated show in prime time television. Does this dichotomy make Americans hypocrites? Can you be a highly moral person and enjoy a show like "Desperate Housewives?" M

I flew right by Mt. St. Helens during it's first series of eruptions back in October. ( i was flying into Portland, and they re-directed the plane to go around it because of the steam/smooke cloud being in our flightpath) I just kept remembering when i was a kid and when it went off in 1980. I was 700 miles away and there was dus

My apologies iamheather, I am equating your opinions with those of your husband, he and I have had very heated arguments about social issues, this equation, in my mind, led to an unfair characterization of your post. Thank you. I am a little less harsh in my disagreements and opinions than my husband.

When elections were still fun up here (and people turned out to vote), joke parties like the Rhinos would offer up platform tidbits like: "If elected we would get rid of the environment: it's too big and it's always getting dirty." s

But you want to do away with organized religion, and what? allow us all to think for ourselves? The problem with doing away with organized religion....it would only be temporary.

If they can agree on the top 100 or so things, and pass that budget separately, and then argue til they're blue about all the random crappy programs, that's even better. Run for office with this as your platform. I'd vote for your logic. </

The smell of cinnamon apple candles, incense, and potpouri always bring back the greatest of Christmas memories for me. I tie so many memories with smell, both good and bad. Growing up we did not celebrate Christmas, but I remember going to church with my Catholic grandmother on Christmas Eve. I was both awed and afraid at the mass. I remember vividly the smell of the incense as they sprinked the congregation. I associate that smell with reverence, fea

Tex, I just tried to call you. I am worried and want to talk if you do. If not, I understand. Know that I am praying for you and thinking about you. Try to find someone to lean on right now for support. *hugs*

I have to disagree with your characterization of the tax cut. Bush looked at the economy, saw that it needed a big boost to get it back on track after (a) a recession and (b) an act of terrorism, and gave a decent-size tax cut program, spread over 10 years, to get and keep things moving. I agree with yo
