The Space Shuttle Discovery has arrived on the launch pad after a 10 1/2 hour journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building. NASA plans on launching the Shuttle on May 15, 2005 on a mission to the International Space Station. A small hair-line crack in the foam on the outside of the external fuel tank held [...]

Keeping Track Of Hillary’s Positions

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

Apparently someone is now keeping track of what Hillary Clinton’s current position on any number of topics is: One of the nation’s top pollsters has created a new “Hillary Meter” to measure Sen. Clinton’s move to the political center for a 2008 White House run – it shows she’s made progress but has a long [...]

These People Have No Life

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

It seems not everyone believes that Pope John Paul II deserves the respect that is being shown to him after his death. The Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc. doesn’t believe that flags over government buildings should be lowered to half-mast to honor the Pontiff. The FFRF think that this action constitutes government endorsement of the [...]

Ward Churchill (Yet Again)

Wednesday, April 6th, 2005

It seems that the attorney representing Ward Churchill is a big fan of his: A lawyer for the professor whose remarks about Sept. 11 victims touched off a firestorm wants officials to clarify how they intend to prove he is an American Indian, asking if they plan to use “the Nazi standard for racial purity.” [...]

Universities vs. The Military

Tuesday, April 5th, 2005

Students from Cornell University have shown just how much liberals hate the US Military: I guess I overestimated the movement to drive our military off campus. While it is true I believed the motivating force behind it was hatred for our troops, and not “discrimination,” I thought that the shameful protesters would at least try [...]

Pain As Therapy

Tuesday, April 5th, 2005

Apparently, some people will do anything for a thrill: PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Reuters) – Tony Troiano grimaced as he was lifted off the floor by giant fishhooks pierced through the skin on his shoulders. Within minutes, he started to spin, swing his feet and declare the painful experience “the greatest thing” ever. “I was on Cloud [...]

If My Wife Were Dictator…

Monday, April 4th, 2005

If a state MUST observe day-light savings, the following change must be made: Instead of moving all clocks ahead one hour at 2:00am on Sunday morning, move the clocks ahead one hour on Monday afternoon at 4:00pm. This way, instead of depriving everyone of much needed sleep, everyone gets to go home one hour early [...]

The REAL Clinton Legacy

Monday, April 4th, 2005

I keep hearing about how Bill Clinton is trying to “create” a legacy from the ash heap that was his presidency. Well, he can stop now, as I believe his legacy is secure: One in five U.S. teenagers say they have engaged in oral sex, an activity that some adolescents view as not sex at [...]

Response To A Comment

Monday, April 4th, 2005

I received a comment to my earlier post entitled From The Department of Duh! I felt that it should be responded to in public, not to embarrass anyone, but because a lot of people think the way this guy does. What I don’t understand is why it surprises people that the more one learns, the [...]
