Don't worry about the election folks, we're in the hands of the voting public. Comforting to live in an age of "one idiot, one vote". While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When another person jumped in and explained that the sun rises in the east (and has for some time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff." And then she voted....

He's Done Even More Damage Than We Thought.... Just so you know: I attacked and took over 2 countries. President Bush gave both of these countries fair warning what the reprecusions would be.

They will be having free elections in January - we are staying there until the government asks us to leave. Iraq had been for years attacking our Airplanes with attempts at shooting them down (all failed). We were protecting the people of...

This may get me flamed big time here at FR, but I think that all the talk about Kerry not FIT to be President is wrong.My reasoning behind this is that every person who is American Born (A US Citizen and US Born) should have the opportunity to become President. That said, I think Kerry is a piece of garbage and should never become President of the US, but if he is FAIRLY elected, then we will suffer through, just like we did for 8 years of President Clinton (God I hate having to capitalize that traitors name - but...

Some thoughts have been winding their way through the synapses of my brain. I know, it probably did not take that long. Anyway, my thought was to have all government sanctioned marriage abolished, after all, it was originated a a church institution. If it were to be abolished, we would not be having any of the fights that we are having now. The Divorce Lawyers would be out of business, the government would not have to worry about tax deductions for married couples, everyone would be have to fill out their own tax forms, and the kids could be split...

This presentation will take you on a full tour of a decommissioned, abandoned underground missile complex. The site was opened many years ago by explorers and vandals, and in fact the technology therein was nearly obsolete by the time the bases were completed in 1963, so there's little "secret" about it beyond the location of these sites, which we will not reveal here.

Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their belief systems. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong,...
