Hillary, Hillary Clinton... por ella voto yo!
At the job. Surprise, surprise. It is 6 pm and I have been here since 8. And I will be here until 9:30. Pure insanity. But that's what you do when unemployment is just around the corner. And finding a job is like Alabama avoiding tornadoes this season. It's impossible. I didn't get that job I interviewed for. It's old news and I've gotten over it. I keep trying to reassure myself that they ...
West Virginia to determine the election?
If West Virginia is to determine the next election, then there is something seriously wrong with this country: Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican. “I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr ...

ePhilanthropy Ideas from Around the Web
mStoner provides an interesting look at How Donors Use the Internet. Interestingly, success of a nonprofit's web site can't only be judged by the level of online donations, since many visitors will check out an organization online but continue to give offline. Nonprofit Times reviews a study which discusses the value of email addresses: Get an Email Address, Generate Income, as well as other ...

So this weekend during mother's day the discussion of politics broke out. Never quite a good thing if you go into it with the idea that instantly other people are wrong. I accept the passion that people have for Hillary Clinton but I don't accept that she has ran a honest campaign. People that say things like ,"Hillary has thirty years of experience and Obama has a speech. What has Obama do...
Yes, I admit, I am fascinated by Adolf Hitler. Lenin had passion, personality and the courage of his convictions; fortunately he died before he could do any more serious damage to the people of Russia. Stalin picked up where Lenin left off; however, it was his ruthlessness, fearmongering and paranoia that kept his sheep in line, long enough for him to be responsible for the deaths of some 25...
Today John McCain made his strongest statements yet about his intent to regulate the "global warming" scam. I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. McCain doesn't intend to regulate the scam, he plans to fully participate in it. The one thing the senator and I agree on about this issue is that it's potentially the most serious one America faces. Where we disagree is why. McCain actually thinks that "gree...
News & Politics QotW: International Aid Efforts in Burma/Myanmar
How do you feel about the way the Myanmar (Burmese) government is handling international aid efforts?
I think Truthdig described it as the "must-have" accessory for the Fall election season: Your own batshit-crazy "spiritual advisor." But who does one turn to when Jerry Fallwell is no longer available (and by that, I don't just mean he's fallen off your Fav-5 on the cell phone)? Well, just like a TV chef, sometimes, you gotta kick it up a notch. So, BAM!!! Meet Rod Parsley: Christian misan...
