No respect for the dead
September 16th, 2009, Comments Off
Andrew Breitbart lets us know that empathizing for a family’s loss doesn’t mean you can forget the truth when it comes to the lives lived by Teddy Kennedy and Michael Jackson. Death does not bestow sainthood nor does it cause amnesia. It doesn’t rewrite history and it doesn’t atone for wrongs. It is simply the [...]
What are they scared of?

An Idaho school is suing in an effort to use the Bible as a textbook. They were barred from using the Bible because Idaho law limits the use of religious texts, which causes me to wonder if they only limit Christian texts or do they limit texts from other religions. Normally, these “separation of church [...]
Three times is a pattern

Get caught advising a prostitute how to get a house and cheat on taxes…maybe it’s just a couple of bad apples. Get caught twice…coincidence. Get caught a third time…now we know there’s a larger issue at work here. ACORN’s workers seem to be routinely engaging in criminal conduct. This organization receives millions of dollars from [...]

A New Hampshire court has decided, against the mother’s wishes, to force a 10 year old home-schooled girl to attend public school. The parents are divorced and the issue arose because the father wants the girl to go to public school and feels she will lack socialization skills if she is home-schooled.
However, the mother [...]
But Chavez wouldn’t lie, would he?
September 14th, 2009, Comments Off
News out today that Hugo Chavez and Venezuela are getting help from Russia to start a nuclear program, supposedly just to supply energy to their country. Chavez says, “We’re not going to build a nuclear bomb, so don’t even bother us about that.”
I’m sorry, but when he denies he wants to build a nuclear [...]
Sticking a (metaphorical) thumb in their eye
September 13th, 2009, Comments Off
Bank of America wouldn’t let Steve Valdez cash a check because he couldn’t provide a thumbprint (he was born without arms, thus no thumbs). By adhering to the strictest interpretation of their policy, rather than using common sense, Bank of America has now opened itself up to a lawsuit and incredibly bad publicity.
We have become [...]

This is the inspirational story of Lucky (why are they always named Lucky?) the Turtle, whose front legs were eaten by a raccoon. But now he is able to walk again thanks to an innovative veterinarian who created artificial legs for Lucky using furniture sliders.
Somewhere, a horse is wondering why veterinarians never think of [...]
In Memory of Thomas Anthony Casoria

September 11, 2001 will always be remembered as a day in which we lost 2,996 of our citizens to the most heinous terrorist attack in the history of America. Tragic though it may be, that day will also be remembered as one that gave us a greater awareness and appreciation of the everyday heroes [...]

Also imagine your entire house is just one [...]
