How Are You Going To Vote? (PunditMom)
The pollsters and the media are trying to convince us that we’ve already made up our minds. Hillary and Rudy are “ahead.” Barack and Fred are in “second-place.” Edwards and McCain are “trailing.”
Doesn’t all this sort of make you feel that the process is a fait accompli? Not one [...]

Talk about talk (Third World County)
Many people exercise common sense when formulating their comments. I can appreciate that. Some exercise their sense of humor, and I can appreciate that, usually no matter how weird their sense of humor* may be. Others, and they are few indeed, actually learned in school or elsewhere how to make [...]

Sen. Leahy on the Mukasey Nomination (Buck Naked Politics)
Nothing is more fundamental to our constitutional democracy than our basic notion that no one is above the law. This Administration has undercut that precept time after time. They are now trying to do it again, with an issue as fundamental as whether the United [...]

Show me some smarts ( pesky’apostrophe)
See, if I were going to task a committee on finding out if abortion negatively impacts women…I probably wouldn’t start with the answer Blunt is hoping to get.  Rather, I would start with this: what impacts women more negatively – having an abortion or giving birth to an unwanted child.  [...]

The Gang That Couldn’t Spy Straight (Brainiac Conspiracy)
Just remember: It is always the same with these people. All politics, all the time. If they were spying as alleged on Americans’ phone conversations in spring 2001, you can bet they weren’t looking for foreign terror suspects.

Who To Worship ( Geek and Father)
Would you want your children to gather together once a week, sometimes twice a week, and on every holiday just to sing your praises? Would you want them standing in a row, holding hands, chanting and singing about how great you are?
Would you really?
Would you want your children spending [...]

Life as an American Female Soldier (Marie Claire)
No way around it — female soldiers deal with issues men don’t even think about. I took Depo so I wouldn’t have my period; I just didn’t want to deal with it overseas. My hair started falling out from the stress — coming out in clumps when I’d [...]

It’s a compassion thing. You wouldn’t understand. (Pesky’Apostrophe)
I hate the term ‘politically correct’.  Seriously, it comes out of someone’s mouth and I know the next thing they say is going to be absolutely stupid and mortifying.  These people are usually on par with those asses that say something repulsive about black people/women/Jewish folk and then [...]
