"A moderate by definition is one of three things; somebody who sits around and waits for a majority to form and then joins it, a conservative who is pro-choice, or a liberal."

- Roseburg Banning "Drive-By Panhandling. (KATU) [Surely, the OR Conservative isn't the only one to get stuck behind someone who suddenly stops AFTER the light has turned green to hand $$ to a panhandler. It happens all the time at the Pioneer St. exit and on the corner of I-105 & Main St. in Springfield. And if there is an accident it is always legally the fault of the person driving the car in the rear. Grrrrr. Might some of these donors be engaging in such behavior just to emphasize their "'random' acts of kindness" for all the world to see? It politically correct bragging. Now let's see how long it takes for the ACLU to jump into this with a lawsuit charging that freedom of speech is being violated or some such dopey charge.]

What's wrong with this picture?] Obama belongs to the United Church of Christ, which supports gay marriage, but Obama has yet to go that far. [SO far, that is. He's waiting until he gets [supposedly] elected. It's not safe to be honest yet.] (AP Yahoo)
- Fred Thompson Talks Of Daughter's Death In Regard to Terri Schiavo. (AP-Yahoo) Says he's uncomfortable discussing it because of his own experience. [With all due respect to Mr. Thompson, this sounds like a cop-out to avoid taking a stand on one of the most important issues of our time. "These things need to be decided by the family, and I was at that bedside, and I had to make those decisions with the rest of my family," he said. Well, Mr. Thompson the parents of Terri Schiavo were not afforded the same privilege you were to participate in the decision to pull the plug on their daughter "with the rest of the family." It was NOT a "family decision." It was a one-man decision and the character, motives, and past behavior of that man was questionable. "Political football.?" Well, what parent would not use political footballs to save their daughter if this was all they had left to them? This is a disappointing response from Mr. Thompson. It won't pass muster. His campaign is most likely doomed right here and the "football" HE just kicked went in the opposite direction, scoring for any GOP opponent.]

Louisiana is marginal in the Indian-American scheme of things, demographically speaking, with less than 10,000 people of Indian origin."

Oh, it is so annoying the way private corporations do better, and more economically sound, work than the gov't would do. Surely they are just as corrupt as the gov't. & members of Congress. Keep investigating, keep investigating, keep investigating...badger, badger...self-righteously badger.
