Didn’t you know? During a recent discussion over the Barack Obama defense of abortion via forced premature birth then neglect of the alive struggling ‘fetus’ the following exasperated question arose:"Who could POSSIBLY vote to allow a baby crying out for warmth, touch, food and love to lay on a cold slab and die from lack of ANY ATTENTION!" The answer? … Any average voting democrat, that's who. Oh, to be sure, they use some form of magic thinking, to convince themselves they...

It never actually went away in Australia. Now that the Pontiac G8 has ushered in a new era of affordable rear-wheel-drive performance at General Motors, the car-based pickup truck, or Ute as they are called Down Under, is coming back. Rumors have been flying for months about a G8 Ute and GM even showed the GMC Denali XT concept at the Chicago Auto Show last month – a four-door ute with a two-mode hybrid power-train that may or...

Take for instance the media commentary that followed Dixie Chicks frontwoman Natalie Maines's well-publicized criticisms of President George W. Bush back in 2003. In the Associated Press's coverage of the controversy, one leading country radio programmer wondered whether Maines had considered the political demographics of her audience, saying that country is “more on the right than on the left and it’s always been that way.” Even CMT.com editorial director...

Skip the PS3 unless there's a big change in the near future." You can read his full post here. Naturally, anti-Sony zealots are spinning this as 'EA says skip PS3', which means Dr Garrett is probably in a whole heap of trouble.

It could show people that the folk can live free without the pressure of the aristocracy and dictators.” It is this idea, promoted by the declaration of Independence, that explains why America’s military power has been used with balance since the birth of the country.
