”Kansas State Attorney General, Mr. Kline’s daft idea to require doctors, school counselors and psychotherapists, among others, to report all sexual activity by people under 16, from kissing to sexual intercourse”.
I thought this was what we had parents for! Can’t these people stay out of our lives? Can’t they stay out of our bodies? Can’t […]

When I was in school, even elementary students took Civic Classes. Along with History and Social Studies. Not anymore. It may be because of the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act, which requires a concentration on math and reading skills.
Math and reading are important. But what about writing? What about knowing all that […]

Gas this high, this early. Forget driving vacations this year.
Today, I have to buy gas to fuel my generator, to provide power here, as the closest electricity from the “grid” is 15 miles one way and 35 miles the other way. Last week it was $3.14 at the small town I live closest to. Since […]

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday that “no sound scientific studies” supported the medical use of marijuana, contradicting a 1999 review by a panel of highly regarded scientists.

It was too realistic. Not the story line of a women as President, but the wheeling, dealing, put party above everything, […]

Headline: Bush Press Secretary Quits, Rove Ends Policy Role.
This is great news! Not that watching Mr. McClellan try to make sense out of the lies wasn’t great fun. But, it was like the fascination we have for train wrecks. The spectacle was awesome, but still we felt a bit of pain. Almost made us feel […]

As usual with this Administration, if you are either our friend, or at least not a Muslim country, you can be part of the problem, with no sanctions or threats of war, possibly nuclear bombs, being used upon you. But if you are not our friend and especially if you are an Arab nation, we […]

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
President George W. Bush

I think it is time we change that oath. We must demand that […]

“The End of the World Is Near”. You could start carrying that sign and you would not be thought of as a nut-job by scientist and those people in the know. Is this Scary or is this “Good News”?
