The Iraq-America Freedom Alliance placed a full page ad in USA Today this morning, as a thank you to the United States for the sacrafices we have made to bring freedom to the streets and homes and lives of Iraq.The sacrafices your sons and daughters made for our liberation will never be forgotten. Without those brave young men and women, this day might never have come. Of course you won't hear about it in the mainstream media. It doesn't fit into their collective agenda of dragging down George W. Bush and his Administration. It doesn't fit into their agenda of...

On June 14th of this year President Bush welcomed Bill and Hillary Clinton back to the White House for the unveiling of their portraits.Being the gracious, polite adult that he is, President Bush had some kind words for X42 and that made some people very unhappy. President Bush had done the right thing being gracious to his guests and I disagreed with those who would have had him exoriate old X42. However, each time I heard a sound bite of the president's speech it became clear, someone with an imagination and knowledge of clinton could interpret those words in another...

It's been raining for 5 days straight here on the Gulf Coast. 6 inches Monday and another 6 on Tuesday. Computer blipping off and on. Lighting r-r-r-r-r-rips the sky. Constant thunder renders kitty to a helpless blob, head "hiding" in her armpit for hours at a time. Nothing discourages the young cardinal couple with their nest in the azalea at the end of the drive. Heedless of the downpour, they show up on schedule for their morning ration of bread crumbs. The bread turns to instant mush, but somehow they fill their beaks and return to the nest.I've loved thunderstorms...

Remarks at an Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast in Dallas, Texas August 23, 1984Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, very much. And, Martha Weisend, thank you very much. And I could say that if the morning ended with the music we have just heard from that magnificent choir, it would indeed be a holy day for all of us. It's wonderful to be here this morning. The past few days have been pretty busy for all of us, but I've wanted to be with you today to share some of my own thoughts. These past few weeks it seems that we've all been...

The memorial honors the 16 million who served in the armed forces of the U.S. during World War II, the more than 400,000 who died, and the millions who supported the war effort from home. Symbolic of the defining event of the 20th Century, the memorial is a monument to the spirit, sacrifice, and commitment of the American people to the common defense of the nation and to the broader causes of peace and freedom from tyranny throughout the world. It will inspire future generations of Americans, deepening their appreciation of what the World War II generation accomplished in securing...

1 . Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE 2. Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool? 3. OK.... so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags" and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs," what does that make the Tennessee Titans?4. If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys it?5. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?6. Do...

KERRY DAUGHTER SHOWS CANNES! A side note; Will Kerry pick Clark for VP? Kerry's face is saying either, "Clark would make a fine VP." or "I never realized how handsome Wesley is."I think it might be happening, Clark as Kerry's pick for VP. Clark's been introducing and/or stumping for Effin'.Oh please let me get my wish! A Kerry/Clark ticket.

Press conference right now announcing Hamill escaped from his captors. That's all right now. Thanks be to God!

These are the crucial months in Iraq. The events in Najaf and Falluja will largely determine whether Iraq will move toward normalcy or slide into chaos. So how is Washington responding during this pivotal time? Well, for about three weeks the political class was obsessed by Richard Clarke and the hearings of the 9/11 commission, and, therefore, events that occurred between 1992 and 2001. Najaf was exploding, and Condoleezza Rice had to spend the week preparing for testimony about what may or may not have taken place during the presidential transition. And for the past 10 days, all of Washington...

Help Americans serving abroad assist people in need.100% of your tax-deductible donation goes to these requests made by Americans serving abroad. Read the story that inspired Spirit of America. With bats, balls and gloves donated by their families and friends in the United States, American troops brought baseball to the children of Orgun-e, Afghanistan. Nazim, one of the local players, said, “I like to be a player, not a fighter.” Seeing the difference this made for the local kids Sergeant Jay Smith said, “It’s made me feel the best I ever felt in my life.” Smith also says that...

And the verdict is ... Bad taste, a whole mouth full.Here we see Teresa and her lovey in one of their wedding photos that reveal one ugly wedding dress. If your choice in wedding attire is this awful then we must chalk it up to plain old bad taste. The medication must of come after realizing she married a complete bore. Kerry and Teresa Heinz married on Nantucket on May 26, 1995.

Although famed musical composer Irving Berlin thought them lovely enough to write a sonnet, nowadays few women are donning Easter bonnets. In fact, you're more apt to see wrinkled khakis and rumpled polo shirts than pressed suits and pastel pumps at church on Sunday. While Easter Sunday has traditionally been the day to show off your new spring finery, America has become a nation that dresses down, and not just on "casual Fridays" in the office.

Things Bob Actually Does Know About Women #27 or, The Math of Phone Numbers where x is the number of girls for whose phone numbers you ask... where K is the percentage of the same-age dating population left over after you weed out the emotionally disturbed, chronically chemically-addled, intellectually unsatisfying, personality-challenged, and essentially unavailable persons... where y is the percentage of people who maintain their attractiveness in the harsh light of day, away from free-flowing drinks and neon beer lights... where z represents the rate of people who will either give you a crap number, screen your call out, or...

This is an aerial view of some of the buildings on Teresa Heinz Kerry's 90-acre family farm in Fox Chapel, Pa., just outside Pittsburgh, on Monday, March 22, 2004.
