Great poem: JUST A COMMON SOLDIER
God bless our Vets, from all wars. This tribute to a common soldier is exactly what we should all feel toward our military. Politicians like Bush & Cheney who avoided military duty like the plague, are the ones sending our young soldiers into an unnecessary war today--heedless of the pain and grief they are causing to these soldiers...
Another "Is That So?" story...(~.~)
This is similar to the stories of the Buddhist monk or the old farmer to whom a disastrous thing would happen, then, with the next occurrence, you'd find out it was actually a good thing. This would keep occurring over and over in his life--and all along, the main character would be saying to every happening, good or bad: "Is that so?" ...

Bush's laws will be scrutinized if I become president, Obama says
I don't see how anyone could find fault with this, especially those Republicans who consider themselves to be strict Constitutionalists. Wouldn't it be great to have our laws be in abidance with our Constitution once again? I would think any strict Constitutionalists would welcome this kind of scrutiny!Bush’s laws will be scrutinized if I become president,...

McClellan's book: Bush administration truth from one of their own insiders
Am glad McClellan is finally telling the truth -- too bad it took him so long. He could have quit his job and told all of this back when it might have made a real difference, forcing the cowardly Congressional Democrats and foolishly loyal Republicans to impeach the Idiot and the Dark Lord who managed him. Instead of making fun of Helen Thomas, the...

The rat deserts the ship and then attacks the captain
I guess Bush's nickname for him now might be "Rat Fink." Scott McClellan has turned on Bush and the White House he used to so vociferously defend. Excerpts from his new book tell the true dark story, which he is now unveiling to the public. Read all about it at http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10649.htmlIt's rather humorous to see how many...
Jonathan Alter writes about cancer and politics
A good article. (See: http://www.newsweek.com/id/138510 ). Since my dearly loved sister died of the same kind of cancer Ted Kennedy is now battling (in exactly the same place in the brain), and many other members of my family have died of cancer, I am most interested in which senators and representatives care enough to fund studies in the fight against...

NY times follow-up article on neuroscientist who had a stroke
Here's a fascinating piece from the NY Times. It's an article on the neuroscientist who had a stroke and spoke at the TED conference. You may have seen the wonderful youtube video of her speech about her experience. (See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU ).In my opinion, she has found the key to being in the world but not of it -- and enjoying...

GI Bill passes, despite opposition from McCain & Bush
EXCERPT: It’s interesting how vulnerable Republicans suddenly start to notice the merit of Democratic legislation six months before Election Day, isn’t it? Yes, it certainly is. And it will be interesting to see Bush veto this bill when he claims to be SO supportive of the troops. Why, he even gave up golf (sort of) as his own sacrifice to show how...

Short history of Homeopathy--and how it works
I found the following informative explanation of homeopathy online. It presents a simple explanation of the history of homeopathy -- and how it works. My own experience is that homeopathic treatments are very effective. No toxic side effects like you may get in pharmaceutical drugs. And reasonably priced! http://www.heartlandhealing.com/pages/archive/homeopathy/index.html...

All women should know about this study. I believe children shouldn'tuse cell phones at all. Perhaps adults shouldn't, either .... or shoulduse them as little as possible.

Ya' gotta' love it! Red state Republican voters speaking out with all the vehemence they can muster in their little pin heads.

The Republicans picked their candidate -- except, of course, for the Ron Paul guys who are going to start a revolution...

Obama being attacked with lies on the Internet
So what else is new? One would hope the people would be smarter than to swallow these lies. But, honestly, look at how many they swallowed whenever Bush and Cheney spoon-fed them neocon propaganda. Look at how many bought the "we are patriots" B.S. and are still waving their flags even though it's been proven many times over that the Iraq war was...

McCain's temper: would you want this man as president?
It has been reported that McCain erupted and called his wife a "cunt" when she fondly ruffled his hair and remarked that he was getting a little thin on top. A Baptist minister was brave enough to ask him about this at a town hall meeting yesterday. McCain did a little tap dance and shuffle -- and avoided answering the question--quickly moving...
