Paper money is inaccessible to blind people. So now the government has to re-design our paper money, or go the route Canada and other, more frugal countries and replace the small bills with durable coins. It's time to give up the greenback.

The young Barbara Bush may have gotten her purse snatched right under the noses of her Secret Service detail. Better cancel the credit cards and cell phone.

It must be great to have a media outlet that is so willing to engage in revisionist history just to boost the GOP. Trent Lott resigned from his leadership position after he lamented the failed 1942 presidential campaign of Strom Thurmond, a staunch segregationist "Dixiecrat". That's a more than just a "little difficulty".

A government sponsored study revealed that only 1% of websites indexed by Google and Microsoft are pornographic. If that's the case, then why is 90% of my spam pornographic?

It's good to see that there are some evangelical Christians that actually disagree with the Falwell's and Robertson's of the world.Too bad more Christians don't follow his example.

Nancy Pelosi is getting a lot of credit for the Democrat's take-over of congress, and she does deserve some credit.

I have not been impressed with Pelosi's performance as the minority leader because she never really established an agenda or message to counter the White House.

Whew!!! That didn't take long. All the chicanery in the world couldn't save Santorum and a host of others. Don't expect a lot of change though. Most of these new "Democrats" are really Republican-lite.

Looks like the GOP is willing to do anything including break the law in order to win today. There will probably be fines involved but the damage is done. There have been reports of voters actually stating that they will not vote because of the harassment of these repeated calls. That's the GOP vision of democracy: only vote if you vote Republican.

It's funny how quickly this story progressed through the scandal cycle. Haggard initially denied any wrong doing. He then tried to divert the story to drug use only. Now he's practically admitted to everything. We were in Denver over the weekend and this is big story there for two reasons, Amendment 43 and Referendum I.

Why in the world would Kerry give the GOP the fuel they need to strike back? Does he want his party to lose? Just go away you moron. You lost in '04. If you run again, you'll lose again. So just go away.
