BISMARCK, N.D. -- Saje Beard's half-hour commute to class is the envy of her four classmates at a one-room schoolhouse just south of here. Most mornings, the third-grader makes the trek on Ruth the mule. "She's called many things, but Ruth is what we call her in public," Saje said of the 4-year-old gray mule.

The History Channel is running an interesting story about cannibalism. They made a glaring omission by leaving out the Donner party unfortunately.But if I can try to get even a wry chuckle from the topic is that it is sponsored by the Australian tourist board.At the latest commercial break a very serious person states : "We now return to cannibalism, brought to you by Australia".

Now that this character, Mr Churchill has compared the victims of 911 to Nazis, and if you've heard Sean Hannity's interview withChurchill's "Blood brother" it just leaves one to wonder: Where are the911 widows that were so vocal against George Bush during the election??? They hate a President that is trying to defend America but are silent on a complete f***ing crapweasel like Churchill and his ilk? Their silence is deafening!!!!
