  • postcard collectors

    The essay was a bit heavy on artsy-fartsy analysis for my tastes, but was definately interesting. I especially liked the before/after images of the LA city taken only 6 years apart; what a commentary on the effects of ''progress''. Anyone interested in current postcard collecting should check out www.postcrossing.com, a site that allows you to ...

    I wonder what the ''military brat'' elected U.S. Senator from Virginia, a Democrat named James or Jim, thinks about your comprehensive and exhaustive prescription for improvements to our U.S. Military. Only a military officer who has been elected to public office, it seems, is entitled to offer an opinion, since remember: our national military ...

  • Do you pay people to write this crap?

    Dennis dropped out because his campaign was denied access to the audience of millions that was provided to other candidates. America's progress will always be dependent on those who push the edges of the box we live in, and foremost among them are passionate p[opulists with unpopular ideas like those of this courageous progressive from Cleveland. ...
