    Mythbusting Canadian Health Care -- Part I

    I have not completely read this, but thought what I have read to be interesting. I'm sure this is one person's view and should be up for scrutiny and other opinions, but this topic really intrigues me. Will post part two when it comes up. Many here (and elsewhere) throw out many of the terms and...

    Priorities of the Bush Administration examined in 2009 Budget

    More of the same...cutting from areas that are important to the real people in this country, and increasing areas that put vast amount of money in others' pockets. T-minus 350 days until these people are out on their ass, reaping the benefits of those they helped out the past seven years...

    Anyone else taking part on Super Tuesday?

    I've decided to put my actions where my typing is, and attend my local caucus tomorrow night. I often speak here about others, and ask what they are doing to change things they don't like about our elected officials. So, I am going to take part in the process, which I've never done before...

    I have long railed against conservatives who blankly cry about a reduced tax rate and never step up and offer ideas about what programs they support that they would allow to be cut in return. My main argument is that until all politicians are held accountable for their earmarks and special...

    Students paid for after school program

    Hmm, this is kind of interesting. Just thought I'd post it, as this seems like a proactive program to combat some of society's ills. Don't know if it makes sense, but I like positive ideas in the face of "nothing will ever change" mentalities... Fulton to pay students in after-school program...

    Wishing all of my Political Buddies a Happy Festivus!

    The "Occasional" Bowl Game Thread

    Playing it by ear this season with less time to cap than I would like heading into it. So, we will play a few and see how it goes. I do like tonight's game quite a bit. Have seen a lot of support for Navy getting the points, but I see better players on both sides of the ball in Utah, inclusive...

    Proof of Global Warming

    Okay, so it's been said there is no factual proof of global warming, let alone climate change. Therefore, I guess, people who say that feel we don't have any reason to give credence to it as a real problem for the people of the U.S., let alone the world. For the sake of argument, here are a...

    All of the Republican candidates agree man is responsible for climate change

    So, I guess if you righties still maintain that man has no influence on climate change, and that it's all just hogwash, you can't even vote republican this year. All of the candidates said they believe man to be contributing to it. Just a thought... :SIB

    George Bush - above the laws of this country

    Since this doesn't seem to bother any of the right wing supporters of this administration, I'm sure they will have no problem allowing that Hillary Clinton or Barack or Edwards will have the same latitude to do what they want, whenever they want, for whatever reason they want. No big deal...in...
