"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ" --Gandhi

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Theodore Roosevelt

"A little revolution, now and then, is a good thing." -Thomas Jefferson-

"In my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in 12 years, we'll be voting for plants." -Lewis Black-

"When you're born in the world you're given a ticket to the freakshow; when you're born in America you're given a front-row seat. And some of us in the front row have notebooks and pencils." -George Carlin

Analysis: Clinton goes for young voters - Yahoo! News
Topic: Politics and Law 6:57 pm EST, Jan  4, 2008

"This is especially about all of the young people in New Hampshire who need a president who won't just call for change, or a president who won't just demand change, but a president who will produce change, just like I've been doing for 35 years."

There's a problem with this statement from Hillary. If she's been producing change for 35 years, then it's her fault we're in the middle of this enormous mess? No. Wrong. And she's a complete moron for even saying this.

Newspaper claims mix-up is to blame for rejection of non-LDS girl's essay - ABC4.com
Topic: Media 2:15 pm EST, Jan  4, 2008

The editor explains that her decision to not use the girl's essay was an editorial judgment call. Gerry Avant says, “I was looking for something by LDS because by tradition our contributors have been LDS.” She apologizes for the miscommunication and goes on to say, “I have spent 35 years of trying to portray people in the best light the best possible way and certainly would not have gone intentionally to cause offense.”

Well way to promote Mormonism then! Slam the door on a 12 year old girl who wrote the essay you wanted to use, but won't because she's not a Mormon. I'd always thought eliminating one letter to turn a Mormon into a moron was fun with spelling, not a demonstration of reality.

Topic: International Relations 5:17 pm EST, Jan  3, 2008

India's tourism minister said Thursday that the dollar will no longer be accepted at the Taj Mahal and other national tourist sites.

We were already disliked as a country, now our paper is getting short shrift too? Please unplug the fan, there's a world of shit coming fast.

AFP: Descendants of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse break away from US
Topic: International Relations 7:20 pm EST, Dec 20, 2007

A delegation of Lakota leaders delivered a message to the State Department on Monday, announcing they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the United States, some of them more than 150 years old.

Ummm... I don't know where the hell this one is going to go, but it could be damn interesting.

One players take on the Mitchell Report, Canseco, Clemens, records, looking back or going forward…. « 38 Pitches
Topic: Sports 1:47 pm EST, Dec 20, 2007

Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco, Roger Clemens, Andy Petite, Todd Pratt, Gary Bennett, Paul Byrd, Dave Justice, Fernando Vina, Alex Cabrera, Brian Roberts, Lenny Dykstra, and many more. I know them, or have been friends with them, or know them through competing against them, and many more names on that list.

If you plan on writing some idiotic off the cuff rant slanted one way or another feel free to close the page now, it will be deleted. The opinion I am offering is mine and mine alone. Regardless of whether you view it as right or wrong it’s my opinion from what some might call an insiders perspective.

Schilling on the steroid mess. I'm not that big a fan of his, but this is a good piece on the topic from a perspective you're not going to find elsewhere.

On Tuesday's* edition of the morning show Money for Breakfast, co-host Peter Barnes interviewed astrologer Constance Stellas about the upcoming Federal Reserve Board meeting. Displaying charts she had drawn up for the meeting and for Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, she predicted a half-point rate cut.

I see Faux Bidness is upholding the same journalistic standards as Faux News.

Hayden says CIA videotapes destroyed - Yahoo! News
Topic: War on Terrorism 5:55 pm EST, Dec  6, 2007

The CIA videotaped its interrogations of two terror suspects in 2002 and destroyed the tapes three years later out of fear they would leak to the public and compromise the identities of U.S. questioners

Oddly, that's a valid reason to have destroyed them, but given how often things have been done with a stated purpose that is then demonstrated to be bullshit, I can't say I buy it. Of course, it also protects the identities of questioners from the courts who may be interested as well.

Topic: Society 3:24 pm EST, Dec  5, 2007

The nation's teen birth rate has risen for the first time in 14 years, according to a new government report.

The birth rate had been dropping since 1991. The decline had slowed in recent years, but government statisticians said Wednesday it jumped 3 percent from 2005 to 2006.

Wow, that abstinence only sex ed plan looks like it's really working out well.

US says it has right to kidnap British citizens - Times Online
Topic: International Relations 3:03 pm EST, Dec  5, 2007

A senior lawyer for the American government has told the Court of Appeal in London that kidnapping foreign citizens is permissible under American law because the US Supreme Court has sanctioned it.

I wonder what the response of the Brits will be when this gets tried and is screwed up? At this rate, we won't have to worry about securing US borders, every other country in the world will be working to secure theirs against the US.
