Dana Perino – Revisionist and LIAR

Friday, November 27th, 2009

And a heartfelt congratulations to Sean Hannity for quickly changing the subject instead of calling her on such a blatant distortion of reality - like the responsible journalist he is.

Oba Mao Censored

Friday, November 27th, 2009

The maker of the Oba Mao t-shirts has been muzzled by the Chinese for fear of embarassing Obama during his recent visit to China. Apparently, the extreme right and the extreme left in this country have much in common with the Chinese government. And, similar to this country, most people don't care: But while Liu’s and Qi’s lives have been temporarily derailed by the president’s visit, the general public in China hasn’t showed too much fervor over it. A survey by China’s leading Web portal Sohu.com and the English newspaper China Daily asked, "What’s your viewpoint on Obama’s visit to China?" Almost 40 ...

Good Will – Bah humbug

Friday, November 27th, 2009

I can't wait for the holidays to be over. I'm already sick of Christmas decorations - how can I not be, when so many simply replace their Halloween decorations with Christmas decorations on November 1st. And whatever happened to the bible verse I learned as a child? Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:14 KJV While I haven't seen the kind of mobs that result in injuries and deaths (because I hate shopping and avoid that scene like it's the black plague) I did see complete disregard for one's fellow man at my local ...

Why Public Libraries Rock & Corporate Bookstores Suck

Over the last year or so, I've rediscovered the Public Library. What a wonderful place - free books and a better selection than any bookstore. What's more, since I last heavily used public libraries 15 years ago, everything can be done on the internet. Need an interlibrary loan? Place it on a web site, and get an email when the book is available for pickup at your local branch. Need to renew that long Tolstoy novel? Do it on the web and never step into the library, giving yourself more time to read (and save on gas!) I could go ...

Ceremonial Deism

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

"In God We Trust" did not appear on any coin until 1864. It wasn't used on all coins until Roosevelt's presidency, it wasn't mandated by legislation on all coins until 1955, nor made the official motto of the United States until 1956. Likewise, the Pledge of Allegiance wasn't even written until 1892, and the words "Under God" weren't added until 1954. So enough of this nonsensical revisionism that the Founding Fathers were all devoted Christians and founded this country as a Christian nation - those who utter such nonsense are bearing false witness. Even were that not the case, the ...
