Clorox, the household name in the cleaning industry, recently released findings... The study’s first component consisted of an online survey of 2,000 American adults which found that those who enjoyed the act of cleaning were 25% happier that those who did not. People who keep a clean home are not only happier, but more relaxed and focused than those who are messy, a new survey finds. What’s more: children in cleaner home study more and show greater empathy. Furthermore, those who frequently spruced up the house didn’t seem to experience diminishing returns: for each extra hour of cleaning a week,...

Agents within the Federal Bureau of Investigation want to take down the personnel at the top of the Justice Department, according to a former D.C. based U.S. Justice attorney. "Just think of the FBI as the Vietcong. That's what they are. They are digging tunnels under the Justice Department. They are going to sink that place," Washington attorney Joe DiGenova told The Daily Caller Thursday. [Snip] FBI agents pushed forward, against the wishes of the Justice Department and without the support of bureau leadership, to investigate the Clinton Foundation, according to a Wall Street Journal report. As a result of...

TALLAHASSEE -- The Republican Party of Florida waded into a traditionally apolitical fight Friday, announcing it will oppose the retention of three state Supreme Court justices on the November ballot. In a statement released by its spokeswoman, the party said its executive board voted unanimously this week to oppose Justices R. Fred Lewis, Barbara Pariente and Peggy Quince in November’s retention elections. The justices do not face opponents, but voters are asked every six years to vote yes or no on whether they should remain on the job. The party statement singled out a 2003 case by the court as...

A Stoughton cop has resigned after hitting a strip joint on duty to try and meet "the world’s smallest porn star," putting an unapproved laser scope on his gun and lying to investigators, the town’s police chief told the Herald today. Officer Richard P. Bennett, 28, has stepped down after five officers reported he left his patrol to go to Alex’s gentleman’s club to meet "Bridget the Midget," a 3-foot, 9-inch tall porn star, Stoughton Police Chief Paul Shastany said. Bennett, who was honored by the department in June for his work in helping catch an accused killer, also installed...

Naturally, when you neglect to consistently and constantly clean your house, you start to become comfortable with disorder, disarray, dust and dirt. Spiritually, when you neglect to consistently and constantly correct your attitude, your actions and your atmosphere, you become comfortable with darkness, deceit, denial and disability.

Congratulations to Barack Obama, the incoming 44th president of the United States. He soon will fill America’s highest office after a nearly flawless, first-time White House bid. He demonstrates that education, eloquence, and elegance trump lingering racial bias. His staunchly left-liberal ideas aside, he inspires in many ways. May he govern justly and make every American proud. Now, what about those whom Obama and his supporters vanquished? What the Republican party badly needs is a Night of the Long Knives. The GOP has been laid low, thanks to politicians who swapped their principles for power and lost both. As the...

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage has resigned as expected a day after his boss and close friend, Colin Powell, announced he was stepping down, a State Department official said on Tuesday. Armitage, a barrel-chested former Navy officer who closely managed the day-to-day operations of the State Department's worldwide bureaucracy, tendered his resignation to Powell on Monday, the official said. "He came in with the secretary and is leaving with him," said the official, who asked not to be identified. Armitage was respected among diplomats and lawmakers for his candor. He was always expected to leave at the same...

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Sir Paul McCartney has fired seven people from his New York offices - because he allegedly wants to cut all ties with estranged wife Heather Mills. According to America's New York Post newspaper, the former Beatle decided to dismiss the staff from MPL Communications, his lucrative music publishing house, this week in an unexpected cull.

Well, it happened 37 years late, but the Holy See finally appears to have pulled the plug on Bishop Thomas Gumbleton. This from an open letter released yesterday: On Thursday of this past week, Pope Benedict XVI accepted my resignation from the office of auxiliary bishop to Cardinal Maida. In the revised Code of Canon Law, promulgated in 1983, there is a canon directing every bishop to request permission of the Pope to resign from the Episcopal office at the age of 75. For a variety of reasons when I turned 75 last year, I wrote a letter requesting that...

Cleaning House Banish the Abramoff Republicans. This week's plea agreement by "super-lobbyist" Jack Abramoff has Republicans either rushing to return his campaign contributions in an act of cosmetic distancing, accuse Democrats of being equally corrupt, or embrace some new "lobbying reform" that would further insulate Members of Congress from political accountability. Here's a better strategy: Banish the Abramoff crowd from polite Republican society, and start remembering why you were elected in the first place. This isn't to say we agree with the media hype that the Abramoff scandal is of "historic proportions." That's true only if your "history" starts around...

When Porter J. Goss took over a failure-stained CIA last year, he promised to reshape the agency beginning with the area he knew best: its famed spy division. Goss, himself a former covert operative who had chaired the House intelligence committee, focused on the officers in the field. He pledged status and resources for case officers, sending hundreds more to far-off assignments, undercover and on the front line of the battle against al Qaeda.[snip]Some of the struggles that have dominated Goss's first year stem from a massive reorganization that stripped the CIA of its leadership role in the intelligence community...

PRO and CON: Can a divided Party stand? Abortion. Globalism. Animal rights. Homosexual rights. Women’s rights. Union rights. Freedom from religion. Government schools. Welfare rights. Gun control. What do these interests have in common? All are part of the Democrat agenda. Democrats have built their "Big Tent" and various interests each have a seat at the table. While each constituency within the party vies to win the Party’s nomination, once the contest is over and the nominee is selected, the fighting ends and they all coalesce behind the anointed candidate. The process has worked very effectively for decades, and in...

AUSTIN – Speaker Tom Craddick overhauled the committee structure of the Texas House Thursday, with appointments that favored like-minded Republicans, supportive Democrats and an unprecedented share of political rookies. The Dallas area was well represented in key posts, as lawmakers learned their likely roles in a cash-strapped session. Mr. Craddick and the state Republican party described the appointments as fair and balanced, backing that up with statistics that suggest that the new speaker treated minorities and women at least as well as his predecessor, Rep. Pete Laney, D-Hale Center. “We looked at committees as a whole. We looked at what...
