Thanks to our friend, Daveed , and his sharp detective work , the truth can now be told. We can all rest just a little easier this evening. Thanks, Daveed! By the way, do yourself a favor and be sure to browse this entire site .

A Baptist minister was seated next to a Marine on a flight to Memphis, Tennessee. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Marine asked for a scotch and soda, which was brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, "I'd rather be savagely raped by brazen whores than let liquor touch my lips. The Marine then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "Me too. I didn't know we had that choice." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Laden and Uncle Sam are out walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. "I will give each of you one wish, that's three wishes total," says the Genie. The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." ...

...on Valentine's Day. I'm probably a tad jaded but feel like Hallmark's holiday is truly worth a few words. First of all, let me say that I truly feel sorry for men on Valentine's Day. No matter what they do, the expectation may be so off from reality that whatever gesture they choose may just fall short. We are taught as early as grade school to write nice things to people on Valentine's Day but there are always one or two kids who don't get many valentine cards in their "mailbox" in the classroom. Unfortunately, some kids never get enough Valentines. Some kids get way too many. It's an unfair world we live in and this holiday can sometimes shine a spotlight on that. Why the pressure to tell someone you like/love them on one particular day? Capitalism. I admire Capitalism. It's responsible for many of the advancements in science and technology, the very things that provide us with more time for our families and other such things of importance...

You might have guessed that I am a bit less than sentimental. Valentine's Day? Bah humbug! A holiday created by the Capitalists that I so admire, nothing more. ;o) This, however, is worthy of your attention on Valentine's Day: Foreign Policy online has written some very interesting stuff about who is loved in the world these days. Much more fulfilling than emptying your bank account on a box of chocolates and a bracelet, I say! Feed your brain and avoid those nasty (read "yummy") chocolates. There's no cellulite on this brain, baby!

Scott Ott is hot on the trail of that influential scumbag Waldo... errr, I mean Abramhoff!

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak? Why do banks charge a fee on insufficient funds when they know there is not enough? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle? Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Whose idea was it to put an S in the word lisp? If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes? Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white? Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale? Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized? Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then...

Obviously the turn of events in the Palestinian Authority has caught my full attention lately. It's an ironic twist of fate that while Sharon struggles in the hospital, the Palestinians elected a terrorist organization to power. So, how much do we really know about the situation there? Who is really oppressing the Palestinians? FrontPage Magazine has an excellent article on this subject. Check it out!

I truly enjoyed watching the President deliver his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. He was earnest, straight-forward, and communicated the message clearly. One might think, given all the hot air from Kennedy and Kerry lately, that our country was in a shambles. It is not. The President's speech simply served to reinforce to the American people what many of us have known all along. This country is outperforming ourselves year after year lately. We have much to be proud of and there is no shame in acknowledging that! President Bush was gracious in thanking Congress for confirming Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito. He showed his fairness by referring a number of times to important actions that have been taken over the past year by both parties in times of urgency. For all the talk about President Bush being "a divider, not a uniter," it's time to call it what it is. Hypocrisy. To call the President a divider is simply the pot calling the kettle black, ...

I'm a bit behind on this but I want to add my congratulations to Justice Alito for his confirmation . Very nicely done during the hearings and the "Inquisition," I must say. The fact that he could keep a straight face during Kennedy's rants was nothing short of amazing! This bologna about Alito "bucking" the Conservatives in his opinion on the recent death penalty case is getting out of hand, by the way. Alito clearly said (and had to repeat ad nauseum) during the confirmation hearings that he decides cases on the merits of each case. Folks, that's what a judge is SUPPOSED to do! Evidently he saw merit in allowing a stay of execution or he would not have dissented on that particular case. And let's get this straight now, the Supreme Court is meant to be apolitical. Period. It is the Liberals who have turned the Court into a political dog and pony show by legislating from the bench. If the founding fathers had meant the Supreme Court to be a legislat...
