The 'Lewis Carroll' pleadings showed the Department of Justice arguing that its findings were true because it repeated them three times. In the future, this same discredited Justice Department wants to keep any other pleadings off the table. As long as no argument is presented against its pleadings, it can finally prove something. Saying something three times isn't enough for the mad hatter de

For a brief time in the late '60s, Gary Puckett had the world at his feet — well, at least he had a string of Top Ten singles, highlighted by "Woman, Woman," "Young Girl," "Lady Willpower," "Over You" and "This Girl Is a Woman Now." His powerful emoting, along with the melodramatic productions, made these singles hits; his backing band the Union Gap were always billed on the records, but they were kind of drowned out by the strings, backing vocals, horns and other studio trickery. These singles were state-of-the-art mainstream pop in the late '60s, and they remain radio favorites years after their initial release.

Personal Integrity, I never gave it much thought, as it is difficult enough to get by on my own, never mind worry about how I come across to others. Its quite liberating to say to one’s self “I don’t care what you think about me” and to go about life free of judgment, however there is a fine line between lifting social anxiety and smothering one’s self in egocentric selfishness. I have seen the path of “healing oneself” trample loved ones on the way, and I wonder how heightened spiritual awareness becomes an excuse for treating others as only by-products of one’s life. Quite often friends become secondary characters placed on the earth for the sole purpose of teaching the “enlightened” one lessons. Although freeing oneself from the personal drama that enslaves us does p
Trust.
Do you trust me?
I trust you.
Lies. White lies. But truth is imperfect. It has shades and degrees. Shadows as well as light flash in its faceted front.
But I know you do not truly seek the truth. But simply affirmation of what you already believe. I give you that.
In the end, I am simply a reflection.

The Nursery Alice, published 1890Image from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, WikipediaAlice: But I don't want to go among mad people.The Cheshire Cat: Oh, you can't help that.We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.Alice: How do you know I'm mad?The Cheshire Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here.Sometimes I do feel that I am Alice in Wonderland and that I have come to a world where nothing makes sense to my way of thinking. I often have to double check myself with El Jefe, the Honduran, to find out if it's me or someone else who isn't making sense. (It isn't always me!)Often when I go off on a tirade about irresponsibility and poor decisions in a blog article, someone will usually comment that that is the Honduran culture, I need to get used to it, and I need to assimilate and be like Hondurans are.Uh, okay. Does that mean that I get to be irresponsible, too? Apparently not, as I was heartily chastised yesterday morning by Nora, my housekeeper.(Yes, I decided to
18 members of the Exposure.Detroit photo group got access to the deteriorating Tiger Stadium. The fantastic, highly detailed photos cover nearly every nook and cranny from very unique perspectives.With it's demolition looming this is most likely among the last photographs of the classic ballpark. Among my favorites is the small trees growing in the lower level seating.Check out the entire sideshow here.Related:Last look at Tiger Stadium? [Michigan in Pictures]Tiger Stadium Sale
Within a period of 1 week, I was at Changi Airport twice: once at the arrival hall and once at the departure hall.
I was at the arrival hall receiving someone when I saw the cleaners wiping the glass panels. I must say they did a fantastic job, the glass panels were so clean that they were like mirrors. Usually when you are receiving someone at the arrival hall, you would look through the glass
Tras 70 años de publicación de las novelas de Agatha Christie, sus personajes nos sorprenden con su aparición en un nuevo medio tras pasar por el cine y la televisión siendo encarnados por ejemplo por Peter Ustinov. Hace 30 años que nos dejó Agatha Christie pero tuvo una prolífica carrera con casi un centenar de novelas, muchos relatos y obras de teatro, la celebre autora de misterio en ventas solo se ve ensombrecida por la Biblia y Shakespeare.La salida está prevista para Septiembre en un evento anual dedicado a la escritora, con la primera de las novelas gráficas dibujada por Bruno Lachard, y está previsto que los títulos vayan incrementando en los próximos meses con títulos como The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, The Mystery of the Blue Train, Death on the Nile, The Murder on the Links, Murder on the Orient Express, The Secret of Chimneys. Pero al parecer el plan es ambicioso y los comics saldrán este mes que viene, en un número de 12 títulos de 83, y los 71 restantes lo h
How can Jeb Bush, DOE, the FBI, intelligent design and religious discrimination all find its way into the same story? Through this lawsuit
recently filed in a Leon County circuit court.
As the St. Petersburg Times reported this morning, North Florida resident Karen "Kay" Stripling (on the left) filed suit after the DOE refused to pay her more than $200,000 for work she did helping high school dropouts obtain GEDs. According to the suit, DOE employees told state and federal investigators that Stripling mishandled federal money, which resulted in her being targeted in a federal investigation; threatened with indictment; and forced to spend her life savings to clear her name.
Where does religion come in? Stripling is an evangelical Christian who describes her company, Read & Lead – which relied on churches to refer students and provide classroom space - as "faith-based." The suit says DOE employees were gunning for faith-based companies in a "Bush witch hunt" (Bush, meaning Jeb
“Because I love you.” Don’t get your hope up, Kate. That does not mean what you think it means. Coming from Jack, “I love you” means “I’m an obsessive control freak and will make your life a living hell!” And Charlie! Ugh! Poor little hobbit didn’t have time to take an extra step and close the door from the other side? At least he got the “Not Penny’s boat” message out before he drowned.
That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.

Bond yields are supposed to increase with the length of time until the bond matures and you get your principal back. (When I talk about bonds I’m really mean any fixed income investment: bonds, bills, notes, CDs, and so on.) A basic, maybe the basic principle of investing is the risk/reward trade-off. You have to take risk to earn a return. The corollary is also true. The more risk you take, you greater should be your expected reward (return).
The risk/return trade-off means there should be a positive relationship between the expected return and the maturity of a bond. The longer to maturity, the higher the yield. Why? Because the longer until maturity, the greater the risk. Risks include inflation reducing the value of the bond, rising interest rates, having to sell the bond at a loss prior to maturity, and, except for US Treasuries, default by the issuer.
The yield curve (return vs. maturity) should be an upward s
Let's get this straight: Despite war profiteering, lobbying scandals, bribery, and sexual misconduct involving minors* -- and let's not forget the poorly executed war, domestic spying, and prisoner abuse -- President Bush is saying that the Democrats can't be trusted to run Congress?I'm sorry, I must have forgotten moving to backwardsland.I really hope that the American electorate is not that stupid.*You know it's gotta be pretty gosh darn bad when the Washington Times thinks the Speaker should resign over the scandal.
By TRACEY SMITHJustaTrace.netThe Land of Nod summoned me early last night. They said it was an emergency. It usually is.I quickly packed a bag. Knowing I'd be out for the night, I decided to grab a quick power nap.And a few minutes later wild honking from my roof jolted me upright and I found myself floating through the ceiling.They sent Jeremy to pick me up this time. He was driving a shimmering white golf cart limousine.Show off.I threw my rather heavy bag in the back, and climbed in beside him in the front. Jeremy wildly stepped on the gas and I felt my stomach being left back on my rooftop.I also felt the urge to flee, but the golf cart limo's canvas door flaps were snapped shut. And we were sailing along about ten feet off the ground.I may have suspected I was dreaming. I don't know. In fact, I now dream lucidly all the time. After November 30th, 1999, and all. It comes with the territory...But I sensed this would be more like a Sid & Marty Krofft Night.Of course I was righ
