    Random Recitals

    I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: 'The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that's fair.' In these words he epitomized the history of the human race.
    Bertrand Russell

    Try to Convince Me that You aren't Rascist and/or Delusional

    Time magazine quote of the day today:

    “We sit the kids down to watch ‘The Charlie Brown Christmas Special’ and our muslim president is there … try to convince me that wasn’t done on purpose.”

    RUSSELL WISEMAN,  mayor of Memphis suburb, Arlington, Tenn., writing on Facebook that President Obama deliberately timed his Afghanistan war speech to block the Christian message in a Christmas [...]

    ACORN Head Bertha Lewis on Democracy Now

    Bertha Lewis does a good job defending her organization and speaking out about how her organization is being targeted by those that are no longer in power. She may have made a mistake by not warning her employees that these actors were out there trying to trap employees into providing erroneous advice which would result in crimes being committed. However, in her defense, [...]



    There's a Man With a Gun Over There

    This is complete crap.  Next thing you know there will be an army of people with their guns strapped to their legs at every political rally in the country.   If this guy came anywhere near a Bush speaking event, he would be hauled off never to be seen again.  Just the sign he is holding up would have been enough [...]

    Schroer had applied for a terrorism specialist position at the Library [...]

    And as long as we’re talking transportation…

    My husband’s name is very common; our son’s first name and my own are slightly unusual, but we all share the same common last name.

    On our recent trip to Florida, J. flew out several days after our son and me, and had no difficulties; on the way home we all flew together.

    When checking our bags at Tampa International for [...]



    disgusting and abhorrent

    How can the man who wrote this

    [W]e also have to do more to support and strengthen LGBT families. Because equality in relationship, family, and adoption rights is not some abstract principle; it’s about whether millions of LGBT Americans can finally live lives marked by dignity and freedom. That’s why we have to repeal laws like the Defense of Marriage Act. That’s why we have to [...]



    live equal or die

    Gay marriage legislation became law in New Hampshire this afternoon. Gov. John Lynch signed the bills just after 5:20 p.m. before dozens of enthusiastic supporters of same-sex marriage.

    New Hampshire’s law takes effect Jan. 1.

    HB 73, compromise legislation demanded by the governor, was passed by a vote of 14-10 in the Senate and 198-176 in the House today. HB 73 (text), was an add-on to [...]
