America The Beautiful, And Selfish And Spoiled I sat in my seat of the Boeing 767 waiting for everyone to hurry and stow their carry-ons and grab a seat so we could start what I was sure to be a long , uneventful flight home. With the huge capacity and slow moving people taking their time to stuff luggage far too big for the overhead and never paying much attention to holding up the growing line behind them, I simply shook my head knowing that this flight was not starting out very well. I was anxious to get home to...

Let's Make March 5 a Day to SUPPORT the Bush Administration Policy on Iraq By Jeremy Reynalds (bio) As a naturalized American citizen I'm especially proud to be a part of my adopted country. I just don't have any time for these anti-war protesters who both take every opportunity possible to denigrate the United States, as well as imply that the Bush administration is frothing at the mouth in a mad dash to go to war against Iraq. As someone said on a radio show I was listening to earlier today, it's not that conservatives are pro-war; we're pro-peace. However,...

<p>LAST THURSDAY, on a high Afghan plain seven miles east of Bagram air base, a Blackhawk helicopter went down, killing the entire crew. The four U.S. soldiers who died in the accident, like the seven astronauts who perished Saturday, were volunteers, taking on risks they understood well in service of their country. Beyond their units and their families, their deaths attracted little notice -- a paragraph or two in some newspapers, not even that in others.</p>

Bushisms are big business and worthy of "analyzation." A talking Bush doll, a Bushisms calendar and several best-selling books celebrate the president's unique gift of gab. Whether it's pronouncing nuclear as "NOO-kyuh-luhr," botching speeches, or coining new words like "Hispanically," Bush just seems to "resignate" with Americans. President Rivals Dilbert The 2003 George W. Bush Quote Calendar has became a national sensation, selling...

Liberal leader Robert Doyle attacked the Bracks Government over the Santa boycott, saying it was political correctness gone mad.
