    It's time for Cooking Reality and on Hell's Kitchen we've got Family night and Chef Ramsey mad at one contender for no discernible reason. In Top Chef-it's yellow, turned-on asparagus and a Polish sausage dish with no polish sausage. A review of the episodes aired on this cooking show the week of 4/25/08.

    You knew this was destined to happen with the liberal black racist organization that is known as the NAACP. Take a truthful non-racist ad and turn it around and use the race card to neutralize it’s effect. This is just a stunt by the NC NAACP perpetuated by McCain’s actions condemning it and immediately publicized by the MSM. Problem is McCain never viewed the ad.

    Baby McBaby took his first steps this week — the first of many. This is, of course, a happy occasion. Yet you know me — I never let a happy occasion pass without pausing to add a bit of neuochemical Angst. Yes, I'm thrilled to see our little Soybean making his initial "one small step for mankind". I'd be worried if he didn't! Yet even as I watch those little feet move, my heart swells with joy — but also with a sharp, stinging melancholy, for I know that they are moving along a path that will eventually carry him...

    Town Hall ^ | 04/27/08 | Mike
    The change for this step is to get the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) adopted. The proposed amendment states the following: "SECTION 1. Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution or the constitution of any State, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups." Marriage is currently considered a state issue. A number of states have passed laws protecting traditional (man-woman only) marriage, but judges in other states are giving legal...
  • Did James Hansen Commit Perjury?

    Did NASA's James E. Hansen commit perjury when he testified before House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on March 19, 2007? Ferenc Miskolczi had previously informed NASA that the equations being used to predict catastrophic global warming were invalid. Yet Hansen told Congress that "greenhouse gases" posed a serious threat. "The predominance of positive feedbacks, along with the inertia of the oceans and ice sheets, has profound practical implications. It means that if we push the climate system hard enough it can obtain a momentum, it can pass tipping points, such that climate changes continue, out of our control....
  • Abortion versus the Death Penalty: the Politics of Life and Death

    Town Hall ^ | 042808 | Rich from Paso
    I am pro-life and pro-death penalty and I am perfectly comfortable with that. I am against aborting an unborn baby except in the most rarest of circumstances. I believe that if left to Mother Nature, every fetus will become a normal human being. I find the practice of sucking out the brains of babies pulled almost all the way out feet first is an abomination and is morally reprehensable and indefenseable. I believe that too many times, abortion proponents, like Planned Parenthood, encourage abortions in order to bolster the argument that women want abortions. I am for capital punishment, the...

    What ahppened to Laurie Dhue? She seems to have disappeared again. She isn't on Gearldo anymore (not that I'd know, except that I tunedin too early for Hannity's America), she isn't reading news or anchoring the weekends (though Julie Banderas isn't bad at all), and the Dhue Point has disappeared. So where's Laurie?

    Little Rock—During his recent trips to Little Rock, Arkansas, Presidential candidate John McCain visited Little Rock’s Whole Hog Café, a popular barbecue stop for locals. The Whole Hog Café, a seven time winner of the best barbecue by the readers of the Arkansas Times, was a suggested stop by McCain’s travel companion former Arkansas’ Governor Mike Huckabee. The lure of the smoking pork drew McCain to the smokers in the back. There, he witnessed the cooks preparing slabs of pork ribs for the smokers. McCain, an avid fan of barbecue, was enthralled with the dry rub spices used by the...

    Presidential contender, Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has been taking flak for his 20-year association with Reverend Jeremiah Wright of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Wright is now making a tour of media outlets to “try to set the record straight.” “Commentators like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh would have their audience believe that I am un-American,” Wright complained. “Listen, when I said ‘God dam America,’ I was trying to urge the nation to make an investment in the expansion of clean hydroelectric power and flood control. I mean, coal-fired electricity is contributing to global warming. And we all saw...

    The Red Angel, my wife, has been in America for just over a week now. Today we attended a Kansas City Royals baseball game. This was her first baseball game and my babies also. It was a beautiful day, the sun was out and the hot dogs where delicious. How much more American can a day be. But today my wife made me cry. As the soldiers marched out to home plate with the American flag we all stood. My wife held my babies hand over his heart as we began to sing the National Anthem. As a good Marine,...

    4-26-08 | Steve Bachman
    There is an old addage that goes: "'Society' is everyone but yourself." As simplistic as this may sound, a moment's reflection reveals it to be true. When people think of or use the term "society," their frame of reference generally encompasses everyone but themselves. And this is true for every member of society, rendering the paradox that "society" must be everyone and yet no one at the same time. One exception to this rule is when the person using the term has brought certain other individuals outside of that frame of reference for purposes specific to a particular topic; e.g.,...

    Jeremiah Wright, in all his omniscience, appeared on Bill Moyers’ PBS Show Friday evening April 25 and tried to justify his sermon God damning America. No matter how Wright tries to frame the reasoning for the sermon (from 2003) he falls on his face.

    Is this the fate of Bugs Bunny? Suicide Food is a blog that tracks food marketing that depicts animals (usually cartoon animals) who cheerfully wish to be consumed, cataloging all the real life Cluckin’ Chicken’s out there. They’ve just done a post on a Spanish fresh rabbit meat market using a grotesque amateur sign picturing Bugs Bunny’s head on a skinned rabbit carcass as a come on. Yeeeeecccchhh!
