Since I don’t anticipate the world becoming smarter I’d say investing in Frito-Lay is a safe bet.

The Irish seem to always choose the wrong side of history so why should this week be any different?
Or is it that all the smart ones came to America….
(Though if that were the case no one there would be blogging it)

If this doesn’t break the M&M addiction then all I can say is that it’s time to seek professional help.

“[O]ur fathers were men—they were heroes and patriots—they fought—they conquered—and they bequeathed to us a rich inheritance of liberty and empire which we have no right to surrender.” —Noah Webster

Seems Dick Lugar is such a good Democrat the Democrats won’t try to take him on in the fall election.
No surprise to me!
I think I’ll vote for Libertarian Steve Osborn…. Or I would if I thought anyone citing Capital Hill Blue in his platform had any credibility what so ever.

Truth, Justice and the…. Oh, never mind….

I have no sympathy for Star Jones nor Barbara Walters but the actions of ABC are noteworth…
It all boils down to “make up a story on why you’re leaving because if you tell the truth we cannot then trust you to tell the truth to viewers when you’re on the air”.
That makes sense […]

This puppy is going right through my town on it’s way into the center of the state. I know that there are many residents who are hoping they’ll be able to ta p into it on it’s way through.

Oh my! Kids left to their own devices use their imagination and entertain themselves? Who’d a thunk?
Turn off Barney and the video games and kick them outside! Or at least to the garage…

Because they love their kids Belguim children are to be given electronic identity cards. Never mind the Big Brother stuff or the fact that a kidnapper will simply dispose of the card someplace other than where he disposes of the child and the whole thing is for naught. But because of that they’ll have leverage […]

The US Supreme Court has ruled Vermont’s new Campaign Finance Law unconstitutional. This from the same court that ruled McCain-Feingold constitutional? Let’s all here it for Federalism.

I must say good work, buy that girl a shotgun… you wouldn’t even have to give her any shells, just let her stand back and yell “get out or I’ll shoot!” followed by the distinctive operational CHINK-CHINK of a 12 guage pump.

Now that all the damage has been done Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta resigns. Good bye and good riddance!
The way things are going at the Whitehouse I’m hoping W doesn’t appoint Bill Clinton to the position, since Jeb and Dick already have jobs. Personally I think he should appoint Nugent - he’d get […]

It must be a really slow news day in Orono, Maine where not only to residents call the police over turtles in parking lots but local papers feel obligated to report on it.

And now we know why anyone still uses AOL. They can’t get out of it!

It must be a really slow news day if they’re talking about the mystery plaques again.

First they came for the cat meat eaters and I said nothing….
What next? No more frog legs?
Awe well, what’s it matter since it all tastes like chicken, anyway.

I find it particularly heinous that our boys would be in shackles without so much as an indictement. No, they are being held in maximimum security, solitary 23 hours a day, based on reports received from the enemy and the New York TImes.
Madness!
Add to that the interogation methods used. On […]

If they force themselves to lower their profit margin to a more than acceptable 2.9%… I guess it’s acceptable in America today to dictate how much profit a company can make when they’re not a monopoly? Or only if the target is big bad Wal-Mart?

An interesting article on aid to the 3rd world not working - where are the results of the billions sunk into Africa, for example? And a lot of it is because this “aid” has become an INDUSTRY and been pushed into areas where it has done little more than prop up the local dictatorships. […]

Looks like George Soros’s charter membership in the EU wing of the Martha Stewart club has been upheld by the EU courts. But what the heck, you can’t overturn America and instill a world government without breaking a few eggs…

It is funny watching people discussing the issue lambast the author and even the paper it was printed in - which is the typical response when they cannot successfully challenge the assertions made in Scientists respond to Gore’s warnings of climate catastrophe.
“These models have been consistently wrong in all their scenarios,” asserts Ball. “Since modelers […]

YOU! Put down the wash cloth and step away from the disinfectant!

It’s a nice headline but I would say “survived” is a bit strong. And what did Bush do to them for them to survive? No, it was their country music fan base they tweaked and that fan base took it to heart.
Their album may be number one for several weeks now but they have […]
