Thank you for the greatest increase in government spending since ever and thank you for ignoring the obvious lack of troops in Iraq for so long that America turned against a fully winnable and incredibly justified war. Thank you for Pres. Obama. really....thanks.

My Wife and I seperated three months ago. We have been together for seven years and we have a beautiful four year old girl. She was a huge liberal when we met (she thought K.

I put her through school working hard to support our family...she was going to be a teacher...elementary school. Then about two years ago she decided she wanted to be an English...

So please delete my e-mail if you are at all put off by corresponding with a "liberal". But please consider trading e-mail perhaps we can help each understand issues more fully. The company in question is owned by the government of the UAE, it is not a private company at all. They control ports all over the world and could impact us by allowing cargo into the stream of traffic that could...

WANT FRIES WITH THAT? Yes, actual people are fueling cars with used fryer oil By Sara Smith / February 16, 2006 Eric Luc It started over a few beers: Biodiesel buddies (from left) Smith, Mortland and Tobler with their single-stage reactor Bruce Mortland does a lot of the same things that any other motorist with a 2001 VW Jetta would do: He flips through radio stations, he hums along to familiar songs, and he gets annoyed with other drivers.
