Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -
So, the FDIC Chairman is a female children's book author from Massachusetts, who started her new job running security for our Nation's bank deposits since 2006? How fortunate for her. I am a Massachusetts/New Hampshire working guy going back to 1990, originally from the Midwest, with some college but no degree, and I have been ''getting ...

Hire Relatives instead of Talent
I can't speak for the whole country, but in my area the hiring of relatives over talent is very common. I hear a lot of ''my aunt was a teacher here for 30 years, so I never even had to sub.'' Teachers who get their jobs this way rarely worry about reprimand for poor jobs. When I sub for their classes I find lots of movies on the lesson plans. ...

What Is He Doing?
I am so upset with not only Barak Obama but all the Democrats. First let me say, I am a Democrat. Not because I believe in socialism but because I hate the politics of oil, corporate welfare, and, let's face it, the Republicans have not shown themselves to be the fiscally conservative party most argue them to be. Additionally, I hate the war, ...

Franken on the Hill
Before we rebuild another country we need to clean our own house. By that I mean send career politicians packing, rather they be republican, democrat or an independent. Sorry this means Ted Kennedy needs to go home and fight his cancer and Oklahoma's Istook needs to return to mopping floors at the radio station. There could be worse things to ...

Sexual Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement & the InterNET
Thanks for a very interesting and thoughtful article that addressed current events, came up with new approaches, and put it all together neatly in one, entertaining article. My view on those folks who would employ our law enforcement authorities to charge and convict individual InterNET users, is somewhat different. I see these forceful, legal ...

I Liked Ike -- Now I Like Mike - HUCKABEE, that is
I liked everything I heard about Mike Huckabee, even before he started running in earnest for his Party's Nomination to be our next U.S. President. The more I learned about Mike Huckabee, the better I liked his candidacy. Further, he is a very well-spoken and persuasive guy, with that down-to-Earth Midwestern style I always liked about ...

Hitch On Helms like White on Rice
Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

Government abuse of power
South Dakotas law relating to doctor patient communication and abortion: This is just another method for people using and abusing government power. They attempt to control others and legislate morality by forcing their beliefs (usually based on their religion) upon all of society. Their goal is to limit freedom and force conformity with their ...

Both the Death Penalty and Abortion should be Aborted
While it is safe to say that rape of children or women or boys or men is not to be condoned or coddled, America would be far better off by doing away with all judicial and extra judicial death sentences, as well as eliminating officially sanctioned abortions. Both extinquish life, thereby cheapening the life of those executed or aborted, as well ...

Re: May I Suggest Reading The Transcript
McCain is a wily coyote politician from arid Arizona, who has spent his long, post-hero career bedding women and making hay in Washington DC politics. Reminds me of George Mitchell and not a few others. Such big egos and such small results. Is George Mitchell married even yet? At least Bill Cohen found someone to settle down with. Not only would ...
