Stress On Our Troops, Fort Hood Notwithstanding -
 - Joel Hendon (16,285)     
Joel Hendon   
War is an unholy, horrible thing. When one checks back, I don't believe you can find any period of time on record, when there were no wars anywhere on this earth. There have been but very few of our years since 1775 when we, ourselves were not involved in some way with some war. Check it out. But... ( added 12 hours 16 minutes ago.) |
A Letter To Jon and Kate: Your 15 Minutes of Fame Are Up -
- Fran Larson (2,271)  
Fran Larson
Dear Jon and Kate,
I watched your show a couple of times. I was completely mesmerized because of your unusual circumstances. Having twins, followed by sextuplets is indeed an accomplishment (as shown below).

The Restoration of The Berlin Wall---Art and Commemoration Combined -
Sandra E. Graham (7,883)  
Sandra E. Graham
Actually, it isn't the entire Wall that is being restored, but a three-quarter mile section that has remained (more or less) standing since the wall's historic opening in the late 80's. The section of wall will become a symbol for future generations, a symbol of freedom' in a manner of... ( added 1 day 2 hours ago.) |

Drugs and Sport: Should All Athletes be Given Performance Enhancers for Fair Play? -
Julian Price (3,951) 
Julian Price
It sounds outrageous of course, but how else will we ever know that sport is conducted on a level and fair playing field? Sports men and women being suspended and banned from their events are now regular occurrences and scandal is first to the finishing line every time.
The desire to win and... ( added 1 day 16 hours ago.) |
Healthcare Protests - Stop The Madness! -
Judge Dred (628) 
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have had enough.
The images and sounds emanating from Washington D.C. on November 5, 2009 from the steps of the Capitol Building, were just sickening.
What in the world were the Republicans thinking when a sign was used the with words "National Socialist Health... ( added 2 days 3 hours ago.) |
Baby Thieving Ring Broken Up -
- Joel Hendon (16,285)
Joel Hendon
It appears that, anything you may desire, can and will be gotten for you if you have the money to pay. Authorities in Mexico City have arrested three doctors, one nurse and one receptionist in a private hospital on charges of stealing newborns and selling them. Unbelievable? I have long since... ( added 9 hours 8 minutes ago.) |
A Fragile World Without Peace (Part One) -
Michael Ramzy (633) 
Michael Ramzy
There is an old saying that countries don't really have friends or allies, they have 'mutual interests'. This is supposed to be a way of saying countries such as the United States and, say, Canada, would never go to war. The mutual interest here is a shared, unguarded border and a similar way of...

Parents Refusing H1N1 Vaccination For Children...Think Carefully -
- Joel Hendon (16,285)
Joel Hendon
It is amazing to me, the number of people who fear vaccinations more than they do some deadly disease. I have known many people who will not take the regular annual shots for anticipated seasonal influenza. There were many years in which I did not take them, not because I feared the shots but...

MoveOn.org Threatens "Blue Dog" Congressional Democrats -
- Joel Hendon (16,285)

It and the political action committee, "Democracy For America" formed with the help of... ( added 16 hours 53 minutes ago.) |
Shooting at Fort Hood----Is Killing Becoming Second Nature? -
Sandra E. Graham (7,883)
Sandra E. Graham
A soldier, a Major, a Psychiatrist, a person sworn to help soldiers cope with numerous tours of duty and the combat stress that haunts so many of our soldiers, has done the unthinkable---lost his own grip on sanity and methodically killed and wounded over forty of his own countrymen. Fort Hood... ( added 2 days 4 hours ago.) |
You're Still Practicing Law? Aren't You Good Yet? -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
Another great day in America and as I was shopping the other day at the supermarket and saw all of those tabloids at the checkout counter, I came to a realization. It hit me suddenly and squarely in the middle of my middling brain, which means I filed it away for future use.
Which actually... ( added 4 days 8 hours ago.) |
Hugo Chavez: No Singing in the Shower! -
Joel Kontinen (2,333) 
Joel Kontinen
Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez is not actually known for his love of personal freedoms. Recently, in a bid to cut down on electricity and water consumption, he banned singing in the shower. Perhaps there is some kind of logic behind this ban. It may be that those who are fond of singing O Sole... ( added 13 days 10 hours ago.) |
If Your Pilots Snooze, Do You Lose? -
Sandra E. Graham (7,883)
Sandra E. Graham
Are we all shocked to hear that (possibly) the pilots of the Northwest airliner that flew 150 miles past their Minneapolis destination, were snoozing?? I certainly am. Of all the years of air traveling across the country and out of the country that I did when I was younger, it never once occurred... ( added 14 days 4 hours ago.) |
Forget The Hungry: Feed The Corruption -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
Another beautiful day in America and yet around the world in Africa things are not as they could be. Or perhaps they are exactly as they are supposed to be.
Earlier today, Ethiopia asked for over 150 thousand tons of emergency food to help feed 6 million people in urgent need of help. This... ( added 16 days 17 hours ago.) |
What's So Wrong with a Public Option as Part of Healthcare Reform? -
Mogama (15,965) 
Mogama
Back in February 2007, John Edwards was the first of the presidential candidates to make a Public Option Healthcare plan a part of his platform.

Will President Obama Finally Pardon Jack Johnson? -
- Joel Hendon (16,285)
Joel Hendon
It's been a while. In fact, far, far too long, since John (Jack) Arthur Johnson was imprisoned for no reason other than he was black. Johnson was born March 31, 1878, the first son (although there were two older sisters) of Henry and Tina "Tiny" Johnson in Galveston, Texas. Henry and Tina were... ( added 20 days 9 hours ago.) |

President Obama's New War- The 'Fox' Hunt -
- Steven Rogers (2,028) 
Steven Rogers
The president and his staff are blackballing Fox news. The majority of the American people get their news from Fox everyday. Ratings show that the 3 AM show on Fox News is higher than on every other major news channel. So why is the Obama administration alienating such a large group of people...

Balloon Boy News - It's Not Rocket Science but Is It Pointless? -
Julian Price (3,951)
Julian Price
The news networks clamour for the latest updates regarding the ridiculous saga that has become known as "Balloon Boy" (which for those that have somehow missed it, is not the latest comic book superhero movie about to be released), with accusations flying this way and that, claiming the...

Liverpool Premiership points - What has happened to the Reds (Liverpool football team?) Once a football team to be feared on the pitch and yet today a team to be laughed at, and whose fault is that. Ouch that hurt having to say that but it's true.

The Virginia Governor Elect - Time to Go to Work... -
Kim Bryant (245) 
It was a good win for republicans last night. I'm Ok with that. But I'm not celebrating just yet. Because there has to be more than a shift in voting. In the last presidential election, it was really difficult to tell the difference between republicans and democrats. I credit my sister for... ( added 3 days 17 hours ago.) |

- Yamileth Medina (710) 
Yamileth Medina
The possibility of a government-supported public option for health insurance is closer than ever, though not without controversy.

Mike Fak (5,738) 
Mike Fak
I'm sure either through my last posting or your own reading and viewing that you all know of the slayings of the family in Beason Illinois.
There hasn't been anything new to report but that doesn't keep some outlets from running stories saying that there is nothing new to report.
