Thank you for posting this very interesting article. It's so easy to explain why Romney reeks with insincerity in almost everything he says. The more he's exposed to the scrutiny of his words. the more he reveals himself as a chameleon. The debates with Obama should be theater at its highest level....

This horrific story speaks once again about the American gun culture and the obsession most people in this country have for firearms. The ease that this nutcase had in legally obtaining automatic weapons and the ammunition sufficient to slaughter scores of innocents should, but course won't undersc...

It stands for President Of The United States.

Isn't it funny how Sarah Palin burns so much brighter than all those brainy critics who constantly remind us what a dim light she is??!! That's the way it ALWAYS is, haven't you noticed? They can't imagine any conservative being intelligent - you know, like such brainy Liberals as Gore or Biden... ...

I don't see anybody pouncing on Daisy, just Sarah Palin, who seems to be running for POTUS, at least at this point. What many of us here believe (and I think around the country, at least according to the polls) is that she is completely unqualified to be President. Granted that the intellectually m...

And to reply to the conservative women solidarity statement above, Palin has positioned herself to be the symbolic leader of the Tea Party. Everybody admits that much. Is this person (no gender reference) intelligent? No. Does this person (no gender reference) offer realistic solutions (other than ...

Indeed we do.

Amere typo. Obviously I meant "NO real grounds..." No forgiveness for conservative typos, natch!

Well, Ole Charlie is typical of these cartoon-like politicians who are able to hang on to their seats forever and get away with pretty much anything, and believe that they are almost untouchable. We have a lot of those.

Of course you all realize that this light show occurred so many billions of years ago that it is amazing we get to see it at all.

They say that the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and this is been the legacy of aid to impoverished third-world countries, whichever continent we are on. I could give a chilling list of the unintended consequences of this kind of welfare. Yes, it is right to send humanitarian aid in the...

Fergus: Dream a Little Dream of Me: The Music of Mama Cass Elliot is a (24 track) overview of Cass Elliott’s career. The selections predominantly cover Elliott’s post Mamas and Papas solo career although there are some Ms&Ps tracks as well as a couple of pre Ms&Ps tracks with The Big Three and The ...

I haven't been in a plane since 1991, and that's fine with me! Every time I've ever gone Up something unpleasant happened - everything from simple airsickness to such violent turbulation that felt as if I was going to end up in the Bermuda Triangle. Going from Amsterdam to Munich, the passengers all...

I remain amazed at how Democrats and other Liberal Lefties really hate this lady. They have real grounds for it, except she annoys them since she's a conservative woman who does and has successfully done, all those things that Liberal feminists say are the signs of a liberated woman. But...oh yeah. ...

No great man in history has such huge gaps in his life? On the contrary, huge gaps are the normal state of things for ancient biography, even for very important figures. What you say is true. There are kings and princes from ancient times with very little documentation of their lives. Compared to m...

I can vouch for Agnes' book! It is incredibly well-researched and a fascinating read. She completely disposes of the old stereotype of Mozart's wife as a flighty, silly woman, and makes us realize Constanze was a real-life person who not only supported her famous hubby during his life, but served a...

One of my dogs is terrified of thunder and lightning, but the other one - the little one - looks at him as if she thinks he's crazy. The little one no doubt knows that thunder is just two clouds clapping their hands. Delilah is a funny little girl-dog. I have a picture of her if you are interested:...

That's the only way a totalitarian country can control the flow of information. I am reminded of Kaiser Wilhelm II, before and during WWI. He didn't like hearing bad news, and he didn't even know that many people were blaming him for the acceleration of the war, or even for starting it (which he did...

I just got caught up to this story. When I last visited the States I spoke about whiling away the highway hours listening to this woman in a sort of appalled wonder at her arrogance and rudeness towards callers --not to mention her rigidly moralistic view of human behaviour. Even her 'apology' soun...

Well said Agnes! And no John F, it is not just a community issue! Is NYC just another city in America? Not really. And I guess most NYC residents would be the first to say that their city is oh so cosmopolitan. It's a world financial center. I hear it has a rather important garment district. Also h...

I recently read where the NEA is considering eliminating "nich" subjects in our schools - such subjects as economics, civics, and history. The NEA does not determine curriculum content. Economics, civics, and history are all part of what in the US is called social studies, which is universally cons...

I recently read where the NEA is considering eliminating "nich" subjects in our schools - such subjects as economics, civics, and history. Mere revision isn't good enough. I say that many of these people, including Obama, are a bunch of Communists. And in case no one has read the Communist Manefesto...

One aspect which hasn't been addressed in the debate is the power of symbolism and its role in Muslim triumphalist thinking. Americans will interpret the building of the mosque as evidence (which it is) of the tolerance and openness of US society. Muslems the world over may well interpret construct...

I hate flying anyway. Haven't flown since 1991, and only did so then because there was no other way to get to where I was going. The whole airline industry has gone mad. The aqngry passenger was wrong, Slater was wrong, and this is just one more mountain being made out of one more obnoxious molehill.

Thank you CMGers on the East Coast for taking our normal Houston heat away for a week or two. Now you know what we feel for most of the summer. Today was 92 but the rest of the week will be 88, give or take a degree or two. We might have some thunder showers and will have cloud cover, but that's go...

There is just something so profoundly baffling, bizarre, and ... silly... about this whole business. Does the movie star Will Farrell and Milla Jovovich? Can't wait to see it when it comes out.

I'm so sorry, Ralph, I know how it is to lose loved ones. My own husband had a mild stroke last week, and it was a traumatic experience, though he has been recovering nicely. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Krauthammer is a little off when he says Conservatives think Liberals are stupid while Liberals think Conservatives are evil. In my experience, it strikes me that Conservatives think Liberals in general are holier-than-thou, believe that people are stupid, ignorant, self-centered & destructive, and ...

Actually, there are disabled dogs who can only get out this way for a walk. There are also wheelchairs for crippled dogs that work wonders. Nevertheless, as you say, most people who buy the strollers are just playing dolly with their unfortunate dogs.

I think all of the paintings are charming and enjoyable, though I'd like to have seen some of the Chagall paintings posted here. My favorites are the ones with the Klezmer bands (I love Klezmer) and the two kids in their Purim costumes. There is an awful lot of lovely Jewish art out there, some of m...

What I sure hate are the racial euphemisms. Black people, for instance have been called all kinds of things in an effort to be polite and politically correct, and no one likes any of them. And this leads me to the very annoying hyphenated descriptions like African-American, Asian-American, Native-Am...

Never thought I'd agree about Jimmy Carter looking good, but Obama makes him look like Lincoln. Obama wants this to be somewhere between a third-world country and a Socialist Worker's Paradise. Welcome to the USSA.

Re-posting this as a response to Daisy who may otherwise miss it. Have you heard of the "zombification" of condemned prisoners on Haiti? No? Well, they sentence a man to death, bury him alive for a day, then dig him up and he's now a "zombie", and is left to spend the rest of his days in slave labo...

The fact remains that voodoo, as practiced in Haiti and in even in some parts of America, is a cult within the Catholic Church ("cult" in the original meaning of the word.
