    What would you do?

    Just wondering... Everyone on fox is telling us the economy is doin GrEaT! And basically the same from GW. But we all have eyes, and we see more truth than they want us to. Like every neighborhood having three or more homes with for sale signs in the yard. And the word "reduced" below...

    When did they sneak this across?

    My neighbors were telling us on this little 1099 form they got in the mail. They are on SS. No other income. Now they owe a sh*t load of irs taxes. I never even heard of this before. Guess Fox and Cnn is too busy with Brittney to inform people what?s really happening in America...

    McClellan blames Bush for CIA leak deceit

    MSNBC This isnt what gets me. Its NOTHING will be done about it, that gets me. And in the mean time, the press will harp on some paper going back to 1994 that Hillary didnt release as soon as she should have on health care or some other nonsense issue. God save America???

    Larry Craig's TV Inteeview

    Well... what ya think? As much as I hate hippocras Republicans, I find his case sad, for him and his wife. His denial is typical reaction. And so is his wife?s. Sadly. Its the outcome of oppressing a segment of society to the point of insanity, and the ramifications. Larry has become a dual...
