A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.

In Minnesota, one of the biggest health issues currently is banning smoking from public places. In the Star Tribune article on the smoking ban they end with these words.
Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Delano, questioned whether civil liberties were being damaged by such legislation.
When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
On Tuesday, veteran democratic Sen. Robert Byrd spoke out against those attacks while at the same time declaring his opposition to Rice`s nomination.
Well, well, well. I'm sure everyone knows about this by now. An Ex-KKK leader opposes a black woman. A tiger really can't change his spots.
Move America Forward today will call upon Carter to provide a full accounting of his meetings and conversations with Samir Vincent, who yesterday pleaded guilty to participating in numerous illegal activities as part of the U.N. scandal.
Wow, who would have thought a liberal would be so offended that some might think they made a bad choice. Apparently they haven't noticed what a certain vocal minority has been calling the majority of Americans who felt that President Bush was a better leader then Kerry. Believing that voting for Kerry was merely a sincere bad choice is practically praise comparatively.
Today, in about 6 hours, there will be another inauguration. This will be an important inauguration, because it is the culmination of a fight for the heart and soul of America.

We mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of Common Sense who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

Until today I had never heard of laptoplobbyist.com. But Rachel Buchman had. And Rachel decided to do something about it.

Sometimes politicians, journalists and the liberal left exclaim; "It's just
a tax cut for the rich!" and it is just accepted to be fact.
But what does that really mean?
I posted a JE a few days ago where I argued that I felt that the OH recount was a sleazy attempt by those involved and not an attempt to make sure that the count was accurate.
Voted their Bibles, not pocketbooks. Most prescient book of season was Thomas Frank's "What's the Matter with Kansas?" GOP has convinced poor, blue collar, and rural white Americans to follow their church not their economic self-interest.
I don't want to be young again, I just don't want to get any older.
