    KISS bassist offends Muslims

    If they don't want to be seen differently, then they have no right to complain that they are misunderstood. The face of modern Islam that most people see is wearing a hood, holding a gun, and shouting out unintelligible propanda. If that's the image they are satisfied with, then that's the...

    I just heard on the Nightly News that if the reserves would be used, gas prices would drop...

    Besides folks, it's a STRATEGIC oil reserve! It there for when we go into a world war or the oil fields of Saudi Arabia are blown up or some catestrophic event. It's NOT for when OPEC and China's demands for oil drive the price up! Or to help Bush (or Clinton) with an election! It's supposed...

    KISS bassist offends Muslims

    Here is part of the problem IMHO- We live in a world where people are committing some very bad acts like blowing up buildings and cutting off people's head- in the name of a particular religion- i.e. Islam. But THAT'S not the problem, the problem is that the best known world leaders of this...

    Four arrested over beheading of Nick Berg

    If they are guilty, I hope we can arrange a private, non-videotaped beheading for them. This was blood-lust murder. Period. I've seen the entire video, and all they do is work themsleves up into a blood-lust frenzy, then attack poor Mr Berg, exactly like you might picture Ted Bundy or Jeffrey...

    National Security Consumers

    I'm no gun-nut, and in fact don't own one, but I heard a great argument in favor that goes like this: If you were a bad guy planning on robbing a house, and you knew House A had a gun and House B had NO gun- Which would you choose? You could apply the same logic to a rape situation- If...

    The Economy:8-31-04 U.S. Consumers worried about lack of hiring

    From just about every report I've read, the economy is doing just fine. Job growth is slower than usual, but I think that's partly due to companies moving jobs to counties where the workers are more appreciative, and don't expect to be paid 15.00 per hour for menial labor. Yes- as it always...

    Congress Members Told of Abuse Months Ago

    As I understand it, the press ignored the reports of prisoner abuse, even though they were being investigated, UNTIL the pictures emerged. THEN it was like a firestorm! Suddenly the networks had images thay could broadcast, and the scandal was important. What ever happened to good old...

    Richard Clarke...oops, got the facts wrong...

    If you have watched the news coverage, Richard Clark got a pretty easy time from normally more agressive interviewers such as Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, and the 60 Minutes crew. If Wolf Blitzer was really pushing hard, it would be quite a surprise, as he is not normally very agressive...
