 CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT IN VOICE MAIL JAIL
11/24/2005

My first experiences with "doing time" on the telephone were welcome respites from the whirligig of telephone tag and the tedium of unanswered ringydings. A familiar voice saying, "Sorry I can't take your call right now, but leave a message and I'll g

America CAN be oil self sufficient!
04/21/2008

All I hear about is how we need to find other alternatives to gasoline to run our cars. Not a bad idea if it could be done. In fact I am sure one day it will be - but not in my lifetime.

What does racism mean to me…
03/31/2008

The issue of Barack Obama’s Rev. Jeremiah Wright with all his racial and Anti-American comment really got to me. Read some of his quotes below and think.

As we just celebrated Veteran’s day November 11 I had a thought.

Every so often I get something in my E-mail that just hits the right note. This one did.

 But what do the people really know?
02/25/2007

I know I would like the government to stop spending money on projects that are wasteful. I also know of many people who want to limit the terms of elected officials.

 Male or female, black white or Hispanic what’s the difference?
02/12/2007

For the life of me I cannot figure out why we need to make a big deal when a Hispanic, black, gay or a female gets a position or accomplishes something.

Reading the story about the two border patrolmen who are in jail for doing their jobs just shows just how far this country is turning in the wrong direction.

 Is the government responsible for smoking related deaths?
01/22/2007

The issue of smoking and health has states and the governments going crazy in what they should do. Many states have stopped all smoking in government building.

 The polls say the gap is wider than you think
01/15/2007

It is so funny to me that when you read the papers all you hear about is how bad things are. How we are invading peoples privacy.

 There are many people who are really crazy!
08/13/2006

I say this with all due respect: the Democrats in Connecticut are crazy. The primary in Connecticut last week was just that a primary. The sad part about it is that a good man Joe Lieberman was defeated. He is a good man with a good head on his shoulders.

 Hypocrisy at its Best!
01/31/2006

Peter Schweizer wrote a book titled ‘Do as I Say Not as I Do.’ I just started reading it but could not wait to finish it to write about it, so I decided to write a little about it now and once I finish it maybe write more. It is not the case with

These Democrats are Killing me!

I will apologize first off for the name calling I used in this column but I cannot begin to put into words how furious I really am. As of this writing the Liberal Democrats and some Republicans were still trying to blame the war on the President’s not

Why Such a Big Difference Between Democrats and Republican
11/24/2005

That is a questions that varies from person to person depending on what their party of choice is. But me, Luigi can tell you the difference at least from today’s perspective. I think the Democrats still are mad about the 2000 election. The way they see

Supreme Court is Way out of Line

02/25/2007

Someday, you are going to read a whole lot about the shenanigans of one Douglas J. Feith and an elaborate scheme to get the United States to invade Iraq. That is because Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., has been determined to get to the bottom of this sordid tal

 Bush Budget Delivers the Bacon
02/19/2007

President Bush's outrageous military budget has nothing do with fighting terrorism but everything to do with pumping up the profits of the administration's generous political donors in the defense industry. So, the question is: Will the Democrats have the

Stop him before he kills again. That is the judgment of the American people, and indeed of the entire world....

 Chuck Hagel for President! No, really…
01/30/2007

Chuck Hagel for president! If it ever narrows down to a choice between him and some Democratic hack who hasn't the guts to fundamentally challenge the president on Iraq, then the conservative Republican from Nebraska will have my vote.

 Interpreting our brooding Prince's soliloquy
01/22/2007

To surge or not to surge, that is the question. As our prince proposes, once again, to take arms against a sea of troubles, he responds not to the disaster that he has visited upon Iraq, but rather embraces a desperate strategy for salvaging what remains

 Saddam Hussein: A monster of our own creation
01/15/2007

Someone has to say it: The hanging of Saddam Hussein was an act of barbarism that makes a mockery of President Bush's claim it was "an important milestone on Iraq's course to becoming a democracy."

 One last lie for the road
12/26/2006

What the heck, I'll pop over to Iraq one last time for a meet-and-greet with the kids I've sent to war. Thank goodness I'm not going to have to do this again, though -- I was born an upbeat guy, but it does get to you knowing that the thing is such a bloo

Media corporations are arguably the most important, yet least examined centers of power in our society. The owners of the Fourth Estate have a unique ability to direct the searchlight of inquiry upon others, while remaining powerfully positioned to defle

 GUN INDUSTRY BUYS BULLETPROOF POLITICAL PROTECTION
11/24/2005

Maybe it's because I recently was awakened by a volley of gunshots that resulted in the death of an innocent college student -- a budding leader in her community -- that I am so outraged that Congress has decided to grant the gun lobby its most fervent an

 WHAT JUDY FORGOT: YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW

The most intriguing revelation of Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald's news conference last week was his assertion that he would have presented his indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby a year ago if not for the intransigence of reporters who refus

 LYING WITH INTELLIGENCE
11/24/2005

Who in the White House knew about DITSUM No. 044-02, and when did they know it? That's the newly declassified smoking-gun document, originally prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency in February 2002, but ignored by President Bush. Its declassifi

 CHENEY'S TROUBLE WITH THE TRUTH
11/24/2005

You've got to hand it to Dick Cheney -- no other modern politician has come so close to perfecting the theater of the absurd. Even as he protests his innocence of lying about matters of state, he lies about matters of state. In two major speeches Fr

 GROWING CREDIBILITY GAP OF GEORGE W. BUSH
11/24/2005

In what the White House promoted as "a major speech," President George W. Bush compared the struggle against terrorism to the Cold War, "Islamo-fascism" to communism and the fugitive cave-dweller Osama bin Laden to Adolf Hitler. A somber Bush reminded his

 ENOUGH TO GIVE HYPOCRISY A BAD NAME
11/24/2005

One reason I like people who run for political office is that, unlike most of us who go to great lengths to avoid even the slightest snub, candidates willingly risk very public rejection. When you choose to run for office, you know that anyone you e

I really wish President George W. Bush could have spent some real quality time with Bryce Harlow. It would have done both Bush and the nation a lot of good. Bryce Harlow was an authentic Washington wise man. He came here from his native Oklahoma, and
