The present pope has taken the church back to the middle ages. And he, as Cardinal Ratzinger (perfect name for him), was one of the high prelates of the church who for years hid from the public the abominable sexual abuse of children by priests. A friend once told me her mother referred to the Catholic Church as "that black brood." When one hears...

EXCELLENT DESCRIPTION of the Republican Alternative Stimulus Plan
This essay is right on the mark! I've bolded in red the parts that need to be most emphasized when describing the Republican "strategery." My Republican e-mail correspoondents seem to have no memory whatsoever of the Bush/Cheney trillions-spending years. Instead, they are totally focused on condemning the "liberal, socialist" spending that is necessary...
Cafferty on Education -- a good essay
http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/03/30/cafferty.schools/index.htmlHowever, I do not agree, even in jest, that Marines should run our schools--or that Marine-type fear-driven discipline is the answer to achieving cooperation and a love for learning in the students. That kind of harsh bullying is not the way to inspire children! Better teaching methods...
Obamas are paying their own way in the White House
Any makeovers or decorating in the White House during their tenure will be paid for privately by the Obamas from their own income, rather than from government coffers. I'm sure the Republican critics of all things Obama will find some way to criticize this, too. Unlike their Republican predecssors, the Obamas walk their talk. To me, that is admirable....

Tesla
"The economic transmission of power without wires is of all-surpassing importance to man." - Nikola Tesla, 1905 "We are whirling through endless space, with an inconceivable speed; all around us everything is spinning, everything is moving, everywhere there is energy. There must be some way of availing ourselves of this energy more directly. Then,...
Ever heard of Stan Ovshinsky? If not, you're not alone...
Ignored and laughed at when he tried to bring hybrid/electric cars to American automakers years ago, Ovshinsky is as unsung and unhonored in our time as Nikola Tesla was in his day. What a different world it would be today had Tesla been funded and listened to when he wanted to bring free energy to the people. Instead, he was denied all funding by...

Intriguing mystery -- Ed Leedskalnin and Coral Castle (videos)
How did this little 5 ft. tall, 100 lb. man lift 3 million pounds of coral limestone and build his gigantic stone Coral Castle in Florida? Coral Castle and all its incredible stone structures still exists. Ed Leedskalnin claimed he knew the secrets of how the pyramids were built -- it appears he was telling the truth. I first heard of this remarkable...

Republicans are so used to Duhmbya the Idiot, they can't adjust to an intelligent president
EXCERPT: What both the Republican rib-ticklers and their MSM minions can't come to terms with is something "The Washington Post's" Howard Kurtz summed up nicely. "Obama is a president who can walk, chew gum, dribble a basketball and work his BlackBerry at the same time."Read rest of this on-the-money Ed Naha essay at: http://www.smirkingchimp.com/...

Oh Boy! The "Decider" is writing a book about his "decisions"
Bush is writing a book? The man who can't speak correct English and never reads? And, when questioned, couldn't think of even one mistake he's ever made? Laura is probably writing it for him. I suppose 2 or 3 Limbaugh "dittoheads" might buy it--if there are lots of pictures in it to color.George W. Bush writing a book Posted: 02:07 AM ET (CNN) —...

Less Religion, More Common Sense and True Compassion!
Good News! -- Faith-based religions are beginning to take a back seat to social consciousness. It seems people are becoming more aware and able to think for themselves, rather than letting a priest or minister dictate to them what to do and what to believe. This is something to celebrate!THE CULTURE WARRIORS GET LAID OFFby Frank RichSOMEDAY we’ll...

Tales from Torture's Dark World

Belligerent chimp proves animals make plans
See article at: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090309/D96QN3P01.htmlThis article adds more information to establish that we did actually evolve from apes -- or, as some believe, that we are an engineered species (engineered by an alien civilization), upgraded from apes. 99% of our genes are the same as a chimp's.

A Reader's Comment on Rush Limbaugh's "oops" re. the Constitution
I think this reader on Huffington Post has made an exceptionally insightful comment on Rush and those who follow him:This speechification by Rush is an example of why folks like himself, who rely on a narrowly defined audience believing they are correct or nearly correct on every subject, choose to avoid such public forums. They are filled with peril...
Oops - Rush misquotes Constitution in his CPAC speech
Not that his fans will care -- they are used to accepting errors, falsities, and flagrant deception on everything their leaders tell them. For proof of that, one only has to look at the right-wing e-mails that are being sent out against Obama that are filled with lies and misrepresentations. And isn't it strange how the Rush fans are obsessed with...
