    I just received a phone call from a RoboCall. First... The call was a blocked number. Second... The call said it was a breaking news alert and that Obama has won FL, PA and OH... No matter what people in Western States do it won't matter. I am pretty sure this is illegal. Should I report this to someone??

    When Robert Downey Jr. put on dark make-up for film comedy "Tropic Thunder," the actor ventured into the racially charged territory of blackface, an old showbiz convention that is no laughing matter.

  • Larry Flynt Wants Smut

    WASHINGTON - Hustler magazine is looking for some scandalous sex in Washington again -- and willing to pay for it. 'Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?' read a full-page advertisement taken out by Larry Flynt's pornographic magazine in Sunday's Washington Post. It offered $1 million for documented evidence of illicit intimate relations with a congressman, senator or other prominent officeholder. A toll-free number and e-mail address were provided. The last time Flynt made such an offer was in October 1998 during the drive to impeach President...

    Congressman Marty Meehan on Foxnews this morning was asked about Gerry Studds and the difference between Studds and Foley. Meehans response was "I was a sophmore (or Senior I cna't remember which) in High School when that happened." Implying that he couldn't be expected to respond to something that was that old and he was so young when it happened. That made me think. I was a junior in High School when that happened and I remember talking about it in our Social Studies/Current Events class. So that guy is my age?? Or within a year of it?? I looked...
  • An alternative protest

    I have an idea for an alternative protest. Instead of having all the illegal immigrants and their supporters protest for a day, why don't we have a 24 hour period where ALL services are withheld from illegal immigrants. No hospital, bar them from school, no social services, NOTHING. How much would that save us?? There is a benefit to having these workers here but they need to be here legally and there needs to be procedures to know who they are and why they are here.

    "People have a right to be heard politically, and the names of a lot of these delegates are already public anyway," said Matt Toups, 22, a system administrator for the Web site under federal investigation. "This is just part of the government's campaign to intimidate people into not saying things."

    The war against terrorism is going to last a long time, as President Bush and other officials have said, and predicting the future is always uncertain. But as we consider the evolution of this protracted conflict, we should be aware of one high probability: that the al Qaeda we will face in 2010 will be an even more dangerous threat to America than the al Qaeda our troops are fighting today.

    Somebody please explain this to me. George Soros has been funding organizations to slander Bush for well over a year now. He is behind organizations that compared Bush to Hitler and have distorted and intentionally lied about many aspects of Bush and his Administration. Now here comes the Swiftvets. They are funded by some guy that gave them $100,000 to produce a video of what they purport to be the truth and all of a sudden this is the dirtiest of tricks. Soros has pledged 15 million dollars to beat Bush and that should be a violation of campaign finance...

    My 8 year old is doing his book report tomorrow on a biography of George W Bush. He is going to dress up in a suit and tie and play the part of Bush. There were funny moments while reading with him like the time that he asked me why George Bush was President if he had a "run-in with the law" (it was a silly fraternity prank and very funny at that). At the end of his presentation will be a time for Q&A. One of the questions that is almost always asked is "If you could change anything...

    My Opinion | 030603 | Lee Morgan
    It seems like the entire world has learned from Clinton and the Democrats. The Russions, French, Chinese and Germans are playing a political game to try and control the US influence in the new world alignment. I am not talking about the New World Order here but rather the alignment of countries that have been genuinely supportive of the War On Terror. PLaying games with the issue of terror is apparently the new tool of the left.
