I don't mind saying I was right 2007-03-10 16:57:00 Really I don't.
That is the sound of Ann Coulter's career moving post-haste down the toilet.
Three down and 97 to go.
You can only hear the word twisted in her mouth so many times before you can no longer deny its intent and meaning.

Newt + Nookie = White House 2007-03-10 15:38:00 So Newt had a marital affair while he was pushing for an impeachment of Clinton.
I won't touch on the hypocritical aspect because even if it he was the Speaker of the House
, the Office of the Presidency is a whole other matter as is lying under oath.
But really, did we need to know this. Couldn't it have been alluded to? You know the whole don't insult our intelligence and allow us to keep Read more:White

Barack Obama black yes! Black No. 2007-03-08 18:11:00 In terms of ethnicity, his wife is as are his children but he isn't.
That doesn't mean he can't care about issues effecting the black community and be proactive toward their resolution. By virtue of his familial (and civil) connections he has as much at stake in the community as I or you.
Making the distinction isn't elitist or harmful. Sometimes I think it's just a way for Blacks to be certain Read more:Barack

Is Justice another word for Revenge? 2007-02-27 18:26:00 When Shylock stood before the court and demanded his pound of flesh from Antonio – literally – which was his right – was he asking for justice or revenge?
When we seek the death penalty - is it for justice or revenge?
When we stand before the judge to demand that the convicted receive the full sentence – is it justice or revenge?
When a person says I want them to pay for what they did -- is Read more:Justice

Welcome to the Kim Porter Professional Baby Mama School for Golddiggers! 2006-10-13 18:49:00 Lesson 1 - Pose for ONE relaxer box and pretend to be a high fashion model.
Lesson 2 - After your ONE perm box, get a job as a receptionist at a record label and get pregnant by the hot singer at the time (Al B. Sure!).
Lesson 3 - When your hot singer is not so hot anymore and he kicks YOU to the curb (how ironic is THAT?), move on and sleep with your best friend's (Misa) up-and-coming-mogul Read more:Welcome

Universal HIV Testing 2006-10-02 19:15:00 The CDC is recommending that HIV testing become universal -- from 13 to 64. The test would be administered unless the patient decides to opt out.
I was thinking that with the stigma surrounding HIV, many in the community most in need – the Black community -- would decline to have the test administered.
Following that logic I see this becoming a minority’s disease to a great extent (even more Read more:Universal

Howard Dean Leaves the Democratic Party 2006-08-03 14:52:00 Okay, so he hasn't.
But maybe Howard
Dean should think about starting his own party; one that lets him scream as much as he wants.
Officially coined by AnnabelleDickson as the Histrionic Left party, it would be unable to win nationally.
But it wouldn’t need to.
Regionally the Histrionic Left could kick patoode’. The electoral votes from those 5 or 6 states would swing any national election. Read more:Democratic

Greater Love Hath No Democrat for a Republican 2006-08-02 18:09:00 She is unquestionably insane if she thinks the American public is going to vote her into the Oval Office.
Run Forest run...
It’s not about her. She doesn’t get it. It’s about the party. It’s about the ideals of the party. It’s about the country. It’s not about her.
It’s about getting the party into office, from mayor to podunk sheriff to governor to senator.
It's one of the reasons Read more:Democrat

The Democrats Marketing Problem: It’s not the message 2006-08-02 14:38:00 Imagine the United States led by Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
Now let that sit for a while.
It’s alright. I threw up a little too.
It’s not that the world would plunge into darkness if the 3 stooges were to lead the way. It’s a strong possibility though.
What bothers most people is that being led by the 3 stooges would probably be a lot like being led by the 3 stooges with Read more:Problem

$100 Laptop 2006-07-31 15:43:00 The $100 laptop coming to a developing country near you!
One Laptop
per Child is a not for profit organization working to supply rugged low cost laptops to children in the developing world. I think it’s a brilliant idea.
It has undergone some changes from its original design and now costs $135 instead of $100 but who cares. Concept Design provides a low cost solution to bridge the learning and
Ann Coulter: 15 minutes & counting.... 2006-07-30 18:32:00 Ms. Coulter
is trying desperately to hold on to her 15 minutes
of fame. Wanting to convey an air of intelligence and hard hitting content, she proceeds to utter idiotic comments such as claiming that most Americans would like to see the United Nations bombed and calling Al Gore a “total fag.” Good move Ann.

Israel: Be Leary of Overplaying Hand 2006-07-30 17:00:00 When I heard of the deaths of 34 children in Qana today many things went through my mind. Had Israel
overplayed its hand? Had Hezbollah been delivered a slight reprieve in its weakened condition?
What must the people of Lebanon be thinking? Where does their anger lie?
Are they angrier with Israel for assaulting them or with Hezbollah for placing targets on their backs? Perhaps they are upset Read more:Leary
Hezbollah Concedes? 2006-07-29 17:50:00 Every now and again the cloud of smoke and haze in the old crystal ball dissipates and I can see things very clearly.
When Mahmoud Komati, senior Hezbollah
official proclaimed that Hezbollah hadn’t expected this reaction from Israel, my left eyebrow immediately raised four inches from my eye.
So did this mean they also hadn’t stored proper amounts of water, food and various supplies? Had they
The Art of War: Hezbollah cries 'Uncle' 2006-07-26 15:19:00 "The truth is - let me say this clearly - we didn't even expect (this) response ... that (Israel) would exploit this operation for this big war against us." -- Mahmoud Komati, Senior Hezbollah
Official
... Hezbollah had expected "the usual, limited response" from Israel.
So as if to declare foul, Hezbollah proclaims, “Ah shucks Bobby, we didn’t mean no harm. Why’d you have to go and do that for Read more:Uncle
The Middle East: Causalities of War and Owning Up 2006-07-24 17:03:00 Why is anyone shocked or dismayed by the number of civilian casualties suffered by Lebanon?
For years, the country has embraced Hezbollah – a terrorist organization which hides behinds the civilian population. Meanwhile, the people of Lebanon celebrate the organization behind closed doors, in the streets and from their cars wielding guns.
Hezbollah is not a military. It wears no uniforms Read more:Owning
Israeli Lebanese Conflict: Truth, Beauty and Reality in the Middle East 2006-07-23 17:47:00 In order to bring peace to the Middle East 3 philosophical questions must be answered by all parties and to the satisfaction of all parties.
What is beautiful?
What is true?
What is real?
Remember those questions from Phil 101? Do you recall how you sat staring at the person one row over thinking, “How could he be so stupid? I wish he would shut the &^%@!#*!! up.”

What Bush's Open Mike Revealed about Robert Scheer. 2006-07-22 06:57:00 When I saw the footage of President Bush at the G8 Conference talking with Tony Blair popping food into his mouth, cursing and chewing with his mouth open, my mind immediately conjured up an image of a pot bellied troll laying down in the sun legs crossed face dribbled with crumbs completely oblivious. I even threw in a t-shirt two sizes to small that rode up over his little dirt stained gut. Read more:Robert

Iraq Part Deux: Kristol's Iranian War 2006-07-21 18:13:00 Has Bill Kristol lost it? Normally, he makes a fair bit of sense. Perhaps he’s been dallying in the moo-moo juice. Don’t ask me what that means.
hint ...hint..
According to his words, our dear Mr. Kristol believes, “We can try diplomacy. I’m not very hopeful about that. We have to be ready to use force.” He is also under the impression that the people of Iran would embrace targeted military Read more:Iraq

Male Reproductive Rights. Roe vs. Wade For Men 2006-07-21 01:09:00 This story is by no means recent. It first came to my attention in March 2006. It recently resurfaced in a conversation with a friend.
The National Center for Men brought a case before the courts on behalf of Michigan man. The basis for the suit was the assertion of male reproductive rights. They have term the lawsuit Roe vs. Wade for Men.

Illegal Immigration: Employers of Illegals Targeted 2006-07-20 18:28:00 I am pleased about this. I learned today that this year, 30 states will be considering laws that sanction those who seek to hire illegal aliens.
That is exactly who they need to target. For as much as I dislike illegal immigration and the strain it places on communities, it can only work if employers are targeted. Certainly illegal immigrants should be held accountable but as long as there is Read more:Illegals

Auction Martin Luther King's Papers. MLK: Alone in his vision? 2006-07-20 17:13:00 I’m really happy that the papers will not go into private hands. I’m very happy that scholars will be able to access them in order to study a most important part of our history.
I am saddened though by their absence from a public institution in our nation’s capital.
I see this collection, more specifically, the I Have a Dream speech and the Letter from a Birmingham Jail as an answer to the Read more:Auction

I read it expecting to learn some new interesting information. Whites and Blacks blah blah..Blacks dying in pain..blah..on ventilators..blah...

Rod Sterling, Where art Thou?! Medicine in the 21st Century 2007-03-12 19:48:00 The researchers at Japan's Ritsumeikan University have really set the bar on this one for me. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it but now I clearly recognize the sensation. It's call fear otherwise known as Are you kidding me? It's the stuff of Hollywood nightmares.

'I be concubining' Well Now... You don't say? 2007-03-13 20:04:00 A friend of mine sent this to me. It's apparent she was trying to destroy me. I was so stunned, time and space were temporarily suspended.Ricky Lackey has six children on the way.Don't call them sextuplets - they're each with different women.When Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Melba Marsh asked Lackey during sentencing Friday on a charge of attempted theft how many children he had, the 25-year-old said, "None, but I have six on the way."A stunned Marsh tried to clarify. "Are you marrying a woman with six children?" she asked."No, I be concubining," he said.Prosecutors said Lackey is the expectant father of six children with six different women. The women all are expected to deliver in August, September and October. Lackey's lawyer, Stephen Wenke, stopped his client from saying more.Excuse me, I'm going to need someone to hold my mule....Thank God for legal counsel. I can hear Bill Cosby now.

"Ole" Savior. He could become your President. This graduate of Marshall University High school is an artist, poet and lover of mythology. Never deterred he has run for office several times in Minnesota from federal to local positions.
