I was particularly glad to see that Bob Dean of Tucson, AZ is back after a 5-year hiatus from speaking at these conferences. He related that he took the hiatus after becoming very discouraged that, for all the information he and others like Clifford Stone had brought out into the mainstream eye, there was not a huge hew and cry from the public --...

Do you think intelligence should be a necessary quality for a president or vice president?
I realize that we haven't had an intelligent president for the last 8 years, but do we want to replace him with yet another clueless person? Many Republicans seem to want leaders who are "just like me"--and those are the types they vote for. Sarah Palin's interviews have shown exactly who she is. If it matters to you that your country's leaders...

Richard HolbrookeFriday's unique free-form debate format offered the best insights so far into the vast differences, values and style of Barack Obama and John McCain, and how they would approach the challenges that only a president can decide.

Visualize THIS!
Visualize The year is 2016. We glance at the television one morning and see Obama having another of his many press conferences . He has now been in office for almost 8 years.

The Expectations for Sarah

ENOUGH ALREADY!The Sarah Palin Farceby Brent BudowskyPerhaps if Sarah Palin does...
Astrological insights into Obama's birth chart
I've been looking at Obama's birth chart and taking heart from the Sabian symbols for some important placements. The Sabian symbols are a kind of American I Ching derived in 1925 through psychic divination by a clairvoyant woman named Elsie Wheeler, and, used by astrologers, they are known to give deeply significant meanings to the 360 degrees of the...

Going from Bad to Worse -- from Bush to Palin
Sarah Palin has the same world view as my 7-year-old!By Bonnie FullerWhen Sarah Palin started babbling to Katie Couric about the "good guys" and "bad guys" in the Middle East, I had one immediate terrifying thought — she has the exact same worldview as my 7 year-old son, Sasha. He too in his childish mind, sees the world starkly divided into the two...

Palin believes dinosaurs and people existed at the same time, 6,000 years ago

Oops -- Be careful what you accuse your opponent of...
EXCERPT: One senior McCain adviser said the entire flap could have been avoided if the campaign had resisted attacking Barack Obama for his ties to two former Fannie Mae executives, which prompted the media to take a second look at Davis. "It was stupid," the adviser said. "A serious miscalculation and an amateurish move."Freddie Mac Trail Catches...

Nero (McCain) fiddling while Rome burns
Are you enjoying watching your hard-earned dollars burn away? "Country First" (hah!) McCain tells you he is coming to your rescue--and then he puts politics and himself first.
