Dr. Guy, I live in Virginia where Falwell and Robertson are both based. They do know how to get things done, and I have seen them change public policy on the local level. Misguided or not, people listen to him. I even know someone who worked on his presidential campaign, if you're old enough to remember that far back. <F
He can claim and try to do anything he wants. His rights are no more, nor less than yours. But that does not mean he will suceed. Falwell is an honorable, if misguided man. And 10% of the electorate is not going to set public policy. If you are going to be scared of Falwell leading the direction of the country, then we can profess profound fear that the communist would lead it if a democrat was elected. Both scenarios are mere hyperbole.
Helix, Unions are on the decline. Karma is right. They have outlived their purpose. Now They are just destroying themselves. Why do you think companies outsource?
I take it you like Michael Caine? ! I personally dont like Jude Law, so I was not going to see it anyway. And they are talking about him being the next James Bond? Gross!
LL, Fascinating reading. I like you dont like NCLB, and I have worked in education (as a Network administrator and technology manager - not as a teacher) for over 10 years. While I see most of your reasons and agree with many of them, my objection is the lack of control at the local level. I worked in state and local education, and I can tell you horror stories of these so called educationists. Suffice it to say that the further away from a classroom an administrator i
I did not see the criminal aspect of the headline until I read your comment. Given that, yea it is a scream!
What were the other 3 reasons? As for the T-shirt, I blame the parents for that. At 8, while some students may gossip, I doubt they shop or ever enjoy it.
--against the "No Child Left Behind" policy A question, then an observation. Why are you against NCLB? As for the rest, you are definitely right of center. Based upon your answer, I would say maybe even a Libertarian. But since both Republicans and Democrats have kind of distorted their original purpose, it is often hard t
Mr. Garrison: I heard there is no Christmas In the silly Middle East No trees, no snow, no Santa Claus They have different religious beliefs This reminds me of a movie I once saw. I cant recall the name, but it was about the English down in 19th century Australia, and thier insistance on burning a
Texas, you have a hit on your hands! And it is great. But there is the dark side, and I guess we all know it. Trina_p said it, and I have a cousin that is living it. She was the first girl born in 2 generations on my aunts side, and she is a JBR. It breaks my heart to see all the pagents and stuff she is subjected to (and she is but 3 now). My cousin is not evil, but what he is doing I think is. Thank you for this thread. Maybe we can avoid some o
Santa is not Religious. that being said, I used to baby sit for an Orthodox Rabbi on Fridays when he and his wife went to the Temple. Oh, they were very strict and told me about not turning on or off light switches and burners! But you know what? They celbrated Christmas with their 4 children! Sure! On Dec 25, a fat jolly man in a red suit came and gave presents to good little boys and girls! Sure they celebrated Chunnaka! But they did not destroy the spirit of Christmas
It has been shown that when there are too many of one sex of oysters, the majority sex will change their gender! Now that is nice for Oysters and Fish, but I doubt it will translate to higher life forms. it is just Mother nature having a laugh. As I did with this one! Besides, with the life a fish leads, do you deny them the joy of - you know - uh - themself?
Ya know...some mommies could take your advice and use it for themselves Ya Know.......you are right! But then I am not their daddy, so I will worry about my children, and not my mother's!
The ironing is delicious. ironing? I hate that stuff! My wife makes me do it about once a month, when I have been a bad boy (usually after a Raiders win, so this year it is not even that often).
Oh my dearest little whip, you are ever so sensitive. I was really just trying to steer the thread away from a tangent of finger pointing but instead you focused specifically on my childish taunting...which I will continue to do. Well, you got one thing right. It is childish. Cant you rise above this?&nbs
Sounds like you have a wonderful, lively, loving family. Thanks Texas. I know you are going to really have a hand ful when your boys get to the stupid stage. Some, like my oldest son, passed through it rather quickly. Some, Like me, dont get out of it until they graduate college! But none of it is done out of spite. It is just they lose al
Having 2 of each, I can tell you that there are indeed differences between the 2. But maybe I was lucky, or just had good children, but I did not have to worry about either of my Daughters being slutty at 7. Quite the opposite, my youngest refuses to this day to wear dresses unless she is forced to! SHe is very much the tom boy. But she does not like boy things, and stuffed animals are her choice. That and Cats. My oldest daughter is now 21, and she does look pretty in a dress.
You should put a little more passion into your work. Excellant article. Thank you for making the whole thing human.
Have you right wingers even looked up the history of Soros? I suspect not. Yes, and what is your point? He is just another money grubbing capitalist from an eastern block country. Have you ever researched anything about Bush, other than what was spoon fed you from the likes of the DNC< MM and Soros? I think not.
Hmm...the 16th amendment allowed the government to institiute payroll taxes, and the 22nd created presidential term limits, the 18th amendment was repealed. Far cries from an amendment defining a civil liberty for two different groups of people, aren't able to pick very apt examples, are you? Not very good about staying on Topic. The topic w
She is a spoiled rich kid, and if she was not rich, no one would be talking about her. So it is kind of self defeating to call her a Bitch, in a blog devoted to her. You are simply feedinge her ego BY talking about her.
Now, the question was...do you think that Hillary could possibly be elected. Not based on your own political opinions and dreams...but just do you simply think that she could possibly get elected. As much as I dislike her, I honestly have to answer yes. But for it to happen, the next 4 years needs to go into the toilet so that the democrats ca
no double-jeopardy protection against being buried twice for the same task force? Nope. As we saw with teh Bush National Guard Story.
Try Subscribing to this list: [email protected] My Wife uses Macs, and I have supported them since 1990 until about 3 years ago, so I am way out of practice now. But They have come through for me when my wife had problems. Also check out macattorney.com. The guy that runs that site is randy Singer and he wrote the Mac Bibles! So he is really sharp!
I think there is something wrong with every election. It will never be perfect, and to think it is is only making this country less of a democracy. Come on... Given that statement, I have to agree with you. However, while not perfect, it is accurate enough so that the errors tend to cancel each other out, and the results are fair and accu
