As has been documented here by other bloggers ( http://parated2k.joeuser.com/articleComments.asp?AID=97023 ), the Mainsream media screwed up big time in the reporting the Sago Mine disaster. But instead of accepting blame, doing a Mea Culpa, and then try to correct what went wrong with them, they are now trying to shift the story to, who else? Bush! Like a Clueless old Liberal, the MSM accepts no responsibility for their actions, and instead want to divert attent...
With the media ghoulish death watch for the 1000 person to be executed, and then the execution of Tookie Williams (Sidebar: personally, I thought the 1000th person had more right to live than Tookie), we have had a lot of blogs on the death penalty. Most people expressed strong opinions, but with compassion. Then there was the errant troll that chanted "Burn baby Burn" or "The Night they Killed an Innocent man". You always get kooks on both sides of the issue (Tookie was NOT in...
Having married a wonderful lady who just happens to me Mexican has been an eye opener for me in many ways. Having lived and grown up in California, it was not like I was a stranger to Latinos, indeed as we moved from Post to post, some of my best friends were Mexican. And I learned to love the cuisine! As I grew up, I was also made aware, through government pronouncements, that they were a separate race, and I accepted that as a fact as most people do. But as the only ...

As a teenager, I had one of the best life's one can imagine. I was a Junior and Senior living in Germany! Yes, I was a brat! Since I was still a student, I had very little responsibilities (get good grades! I did), and a whole lot of freedom! And a decent job to take advantage of that freedom! I had my first beer, legally, at 16. I threw a graduation party where I served hard liquor (at 17) legally! I could travel virtually anywhere in Europe, by boarding a...

OK, Canada likes to try to rub the USA's noses in the fact that gay marriages are legal. Most around here really dont give a flying fart, but it is something for them to crow about. But now, Canada's court has said 'orgies' are legal as well. OK, they are all adult. Eat drink and be merry, but adults can do what they want to. Except: http://www.actoronto.org/website/home.nsf/pages/consentlaw What is an adult in Canada? Well, if you want to buy booze, it is 1...
Remember the story about the Dartmouth UMass student who got a visit from the Department of Homeland security because he wanted an original copy of Mao's Little Red Book? The one that Ted {hic} Kennedy then proceeded to use to slam Bush and indicate how outraged he was? Just this past week there were public reports that a college student in Massachusetts had two government agents show up at his house because he had gone to the library and asked for the official Chinese version of Mao ...
Much has been written lately about Bush not going through the FISA courts to obtain some wiretaps, and whether it was legal or not. Indeed, until all the facts are in, no one can say with any certainty whether it was or was not legal. However, this article will not re-open that issue. Instead it will focus on a court that perhaps got too big for its britches. Apparently, 4 weeks before 9-11-01, Zacarias Moussaoui was detained and questioned by the FBI based upon a tip f...

A family had moved to Seattle from Texas, and each of them missed their old home. That December, when they went to pick up their first-grade son from school, his teacher told them about a conversation she overheard. One boy said, "We're Catholic, and we are going to Christmas Mass." "Were Jewish," said another child. "And we're going to have a Hanukkah celebration. "Madison chimed in, "We're Texans, and were going to have a barbecue."
