When I expressed my concern about my child participating in the President's speech to the children, this type of activity is exactly what I was afraid of. I don't now where the school is that the video was taken, nor do I know what class this was being taught in. However I can think of no context in which it is okay to teach any child to worship a politician....   by mkreyssig - Comments: 13 - Views: 235 20090907   Happy Labor Day?? With all the commercials which I guess are paid for by union dues, it was easier this year for me to remember what Labor Day is really about. And there was a time I did feel like being reminded about how far we have come. Now I think greed and power has slowly crept in and is accelerating as I post.

According to our conservative "informant" the radical right is absolutely convinced that this administration is taking steps to limit freedom of speech, starting with talk radio. True or not, I can't see why the liberals would want to stifle the likes of beck, limbaugh, savage etc. Those guys were so effective FOR THE DEMOCRATS they now control the executive AND legislative branch.   by seek2mend - Comments: 3 - Views: 121 20090814   2008 Stella Awards What can I say....you can't make this stuff up... Quote: 2008 Stella Awards For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald’s in New Mexico where she purchased the coffee.

Here is a taste of yesterdays White House press conference: Q: Is there anything you can say to make the birthers go away? Gibbs: No. (laughter) I mean, the God's honest truth is no. I mean, Bill, let's understand this-and I almost hate to indulge in such an august setting as the White House-...... But right now I gotta make a beer run!! The last line is my words.
