President Bush has not been Conservative enough for some.
For others he has been nothing more than a man who stole an election with the assistance of the United States Supreme Court.
He has been vilified for his handling of the Iraq war, sometimes deservedly so, but it you read, really read the words of [...]

There is no embed code for the video, but it is well worth clicking the link to see the video and how this young man’s father punished him out of love.

The Man of A Thousand Voices would have celebrated his one hundredth birthday today.
Mel Blanc in his own words:

Soldiers Mom links to a new website with valuable information for the parents of those in the Armed Forces either in the process of being deployed or already in theatre.
Deployment is a stressful time not only for those in uniform but also for their families.
Parents Zone has not only many useful and meaningful [...]

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Harvey Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to “The Carol Burnett Show” and on the big screen in “Blazing Saddles,” died Thursday. He was 81.
Korman died at UCLA Medical Center after suffering complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four [...]

The teacher should be fired and the administration fired also for not doing anything about it. The teacher didn’t think she did anything wrong? Where did she get her teaching certificate? From the JC Penney catalog?
I hope the mother does sue and the teacher and administrators are the ones required to pay [...]

I have just returned from Wednesday night services at my church.
For a couple of months I have felt that I was not walking with God as closely as I once did. I have prayed and asked God to give me back my tears of love I felt when I first met Jesus.
My neighbor has [...]

I asked my good friend COgirl to write a piece about our current energy crisis. She is proficient in the field as she and her husband are engineers who have worked in the field their entire careers.
I wish to thank her for taking the time to write this post.
Here is her unedited post:
The Congressional [...]

General Daniel Butterfield
Day is done
Gone the sun
From the lakes
From the hills
From the sky
All is well, Safely rest.
God is nigh.
Fading light
Dims the sight
And a star
Gems the sky
Gleaning bright
From afar, Drawing nigh,
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise
For our days,
Neath the sun
Neath the stars
Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know,
God is nigh.

We’re all in the same boat so to speak, so we might as well add a little humor to the pain.
Received these in an email..perhaps all forms of transportation will need one in the future!

It’s not often I read a post which I believe echoes the sentiments of the majority of Americans.
This, however comes as close as I think I’ll ever get:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general [...]

After searching my conscience about all three faulty candidates still in the race, I have decided to endorse John McCain for President of the United States.
You will find a link to his site on our sidebar, which will take you to his homepage where you will, hopefully, donate a couple of dollars in his quest [...]

On Tuesday I told you our daughter in law had been taken by ambulance to the hospital for a suspected aneurysm in her brain. After sending emails to our church list and to prayer warriors on my email list we were so relieved to get the answer in such a short time. She [...]

Senator Lieberman, much like President Bush is a man I admire for his courage to follow his convictions even in the face of abandonment of his party.
Once again the Senator delivers remarks to Generals Petraeus and Odierno which only serve to reinforce my feeling toward him as an American first, Senator second:

The Senator’s remarks coupled [...]

First Lady Laura Bush and her newlywed daughter Jenna Bush-Hager were guests on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday night.

Please keep ~J~ and her dear hubby in your thoughts and prayers today.
Thanks!
From ~J~ In case you are wondering what is up, my husband has had blood found in his digestive tract and the doctor is doing an endoscopy and colonoscopy to find the cause of the bleeding.

Who knows the actual purpose of the meeting John McCain is conducting this weekend with several prominent members of the GOP and Senator Lieberman.
I don’t know if any of these individuals are on the short list for the Senator’s VP choice, but I do hope that Governor Jindal is not the selection. [...]

Paul Aldrich reminds us why we should elect Hillary Clinton as our next President of the United States.
In this otherwise tedious election season, it is nice to have a good laugh.
Enjoy!

Our son just called us from Texas to tell us our daughter in law has been taken to the hospital by ambulance after passing out at work last night.
They now suspect an aneurysm in the brain since there apparently was some blood in her spinal fluid. This is a nightmare all over again, as [...]

From the AP:
Doctors say Sen. Edward Kennedy has brain tumor; condition discovered after he had seizure.
This is all the information available at this time. Updates will follow if further news on the Senator’s condition is released.
Major Update:
Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat say tests conducted after Kennedy suffered a seizure this weekend show a tumor [...]

The Difference
John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were walking down a Washington DC street when they came upon a homeless man.
John McCain gave the man his business card and told him to come to his office for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the man.
Hillary [...]

A little Monday fun at the expense of a few major media outlets:

You can count on Democratic presidential candidates to haul out Medi-scare or Social Security scare tactics every presidential year.
While speaking to a group of people in an assisted living center (read senior citizens) Obama claimed John McCain would reduce their Social Security payments or cut back on their cost of living raises if elected.
Obama said [...]

Senator Edward Kennedy hospitalized.
Further information available at the above link.
Our thoughts are with the family.

In the comment section of this post, David asks a very poignant question:
“Where’s our nation’s memory.”
David, I only wish I knew.

I just could not resist posting this.
Have a great weekend all.

Just one more hole for the GOP to dig itself out of was initiated by Mike Huckabee today at the NRA convention.
The suggestion that someone in the crowd of lawful gun owners would take aim at the Senator is absurd on its face, but Huckabee made it worse by explaining Barack Obama’s imagined reaction.

While speaking to the Israeli Knesset yesterday President Bush made this remark:
“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.
“We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American [...]
