(This is a rough draft of a song I'm working on. You're getting the edited version...lol! All stories in the song are taken from actual events) Far From Washington He puts his head in his calloused hands Yet another bill to pay And the check that he makes working down in the mines Won't last another day. The baby's wearing shop rags for diapers Because the washing machine gave out And through the thin walls of the apart
I believe we need to begin helping the middle income American Family and have the wealthy give up the huge tax cuts they received under Bush. We don't need to "help" the middle class. Why this insistence that people are incapable of providing for themselves and can't possibly survive without money from the government? How did the party that produced so many hippies who read "Walden" in the 60's get to this?
I'm hoping if your projections are correct that in January 2009 I have enough money to provide for my family during the time I expect to spend incarcerated from protesting the policies of her government. If Hillary is elected, I will likely be spending the entire four years as a political activist. I feel it's that important. In this article, you have proved yourself to be a liar of the most virulent sort, Col. You've long presented yourself as a moderate Republican, despite writings th
As 2008 grows nearer and with it the insanity of the Presidential election and all of the accompanying House and Senate races to complete the three ring circus, it's becoming apparent there are issues that they cannot ignore if they have any hope of winning. While the establishment would argue that we have no chance of winning anyway, the growing disenchantment with the political status quo cause me to beg to differ. All we lack is a candidate that can run the distance, something that may be
When I first came to JU, I make no apologies for it, I wanted to be in the top ten users and blog sites. So I looked at the profiles of everyone in the top ten. What I found is that EVERY member of the top ten had substantially more comments than articles. And I worked to maintain a five to one or better ratio. Somewhere along the line I think it slipped to four to one, but I still try to keep it up there. And, of course, my "blogger you should know" series on new bloggers helped a LOT
I'm not a fan of forum bumping, honestly, terp. There was a time when it was essential to get an article published in the forums, that time is long gone. I have had several of my articles bumped by forum bumping, and as you know, sometimes it's a matter of a few minutes between an article someone notices and one that sinks into the ether. Yes, I realize I could implement those same rules myself, but somehow to me it doesn't seem right. But again, it is your blog, your rules. Bu
Correct. One thing not mentioned anywhere is the increased chances for cervical cancer down the road for these girls. I was told recently that more woman die of this than HIV. So what the heck are we doing even considering encouraging sex at such young ages? One, didn't you advocate for the mandatory HPV vaccine? I seem to remember tangling with you over this. Why would you feel that it's not OK to hand out birth control in the schools, but it's perfect
I was influenced to do a lot of good things from peer pressure. Students often start college because of peer pressure. They get jobs because of peer pressure. They do missions work because of peer pressure. In fact, the very essence of "abstinence only" education is creating POSITIVE peer groups so that teenagers will have friends to help KEEP them from having premarital sex. So as SC said, peer groups can be a good thing.
Universal health care creates a monopsony (many producers, only one buyer). Monopsonies tend to make prices lower because the buyer can choose and the seller cannot. First, Leauki, the problem is that quality is reduced. As competition is reduced, so is incentive. Fact is, in America, we already have socialized medicine. We call it our Medicare/Medicaid system. And today I will be watching a close friend bury his one month old son quite possibl
I love that song, LW. Tom T. Hall's a favorite of mine. But I bet you already guessed that lol

The point is, you're a flaming hypocrite, Jesus. You're willing to sell out your fellow illegals so that attention doesn't get drawn to you. You, in my opinion, should be one of the first across the border, with copies of your blogs posted en espanol all over Mexico so that you get your ass kicked by your countrymen. If I ever find myself in El Paso for some reason, you can bet your butt I won't be taking the taxi!
The stentorian toddler Superman ran through the halls, alerting anyone with ears to his presence.
I'm not voting for Guiliani, but I'm giving Hillary nothing. I'm sick and tired of being told I have to vote for Democrat or Republican. It's like asking if I want a sandwich made of dog crap or cat crap! I'll take the PB&J!
SC is right on the money. Jesus HATES Mexicans, particularly illegals, when he came here as an illegal himself. If Jesus really had a problem with illegals, he would get his ass back across the border and stay there!
MORE COWBELL!
A lot of the increases in what you are paying for grocery items are coming from increased transportation costs, and increased costs for anything related to corn. Thanks to AlGore and friends, and the insistence that Ethanol is the answer for our transportation needs, corn is getting very expensive and farmers are paying more for it which they in turn pass along in the price of milk and beef. Cause doesn't matter, terp. What matters is the impact it has

better idea out law beer. Yeah, that went over real well in the U.S. People like their booze. ~Zoo yeah, I'd say that prohibition was a real winner...lol!
if only to keep the beer fridge running I knew there was a reason I loved you Aussies--you keep your priorities straight!
Yes, all abortions are about personal convenience to the mother. "hmm...nine months? I think I have a dentist appointment, I had better go get an abortion". You've obviously never spoken to my aunt, who feels that a woman who is in college should automatically have an abortion because the birth of a child would delay her graduation. Or of Margaret Sanger, FOUNDER of Planned Parenthood, who felt that the "mud races" should be controlled by aborti
I believe that it's true. And you talk about judging others, Loca? You've just accused me of having a complete lack of compassion for children after they're born. Nice. Now you see why I can't have civil conversations with you. When you attack people with a stereotype like that, you attack ME right along with them. ANd save the "well, you're an exception", because if that's the case, I've talked to a HELL OF A LOT of "exceptions" over
and yes, the anti-choicers think that the fetus's life is much more important than the mothers, only until it's born then they don't care again. I really wish you would stop spewing these talking points, Loca. You're smarter than that.
Jythier- You seem to be stating that you would rather that a woman put her life own in danger by going into a back alley with a coat-hanger than have a safe medical treatment. Why is the life of the fetus more important than the life of the woman in your mind? I agree with shades. A back alley is no place for an abortion. Abortion is detestable to me as well. But I believe the solution is in taking the profit motive out of abortion, not consigni
