There is still hope for sanity - Tyson and the union REVERSED THEIR DECISION and have reinstated Labor Day as a paid holiday for their Shelbyville, TN plant. They will now have 9 paid holidays instead of 8 for only the one year. Evidently, once the locals found out about this atrocity the...

We may or may not be talking semantics, but let's not confuse Labor Day with May Day. Labor Day was first celebrated in New York City in 1882, and congress passed legislation making it a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day has since been recognized as a day off for the average working man, and...

I think the larger point is that Labor Day is an AMERICAN holiday, and they just replaced it to accomodate foreigners. What's next - Christmas or maybe July 4th? Suppose they're satisfied with just adding their "religious" holidays to ours - do you have any idea how much disruption that will...

News story from an e-mail I got yesterday: SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. -- Some workers at a local plant will no longer to be able to take their Labor Day holiday because of religious reasons. Workers at the Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on...

The latest economic figures show the economy GREW at the rate of about 2% for the 2d quarter - this once again shows that we are not in a recession. Slowdown yes, especially in the automotive and housing sectors. Of course the Democrats and their accomplices in the mainstream media are trying to...

Did anyone catch the scant coverage of this story? I suppose we all remember the claim by Wilson, Plame and others that Saddam Hussein didn't have access to yellowcake uranium, didn't try to get any from Niger, and that he wasn't in the WMD business. » “Non existant” Yellowcake Uranium Moved...

Let her continue to do this kind of stuff - she's the gift that keeps on giving to the Republicans. Thanks to the internet and news organizations like Fox people will hear about her obstructionism in spite of the lack of coverage from the mainstream media.

It paid off for the US Treasury. Did anybody notice this paragraph in the article? "In addition to making hefty profits, Exxon also had a hefty tax bill. Worldwide, the company paid $10.5 billion in income taxes in the second quarter, $9.5 billion in sales taxes, and over $12 billion in what...

How could you have forgotten Raquel Welch?? Let's not forget Sophia Loren - those two are at the top of my list. And since there's supposed to be a new Wonder Woman movie coming out, how about Linda Carter? I'm hard-pressed to think of any of today's girls that compare to these WOMEN - whose...

These "common occurences" would be a lot less common if the criminially insane and the common criminals were locked up the way they are supposed to be. Instead, the liberal judges we have presiding over our courts let these crazies roam among the general public because their rights are more...

Since the first Clinton term, the liberal Democrats have found that they can redefine the vocabulary of the English language - black is white, up is down, patriotism means hating your country and its leaders. The mainstream media not only lets them get away with it, they also willingly...

I, along with the others certainly hope this won't be your last post. In any case, live long and prosper.

In Portland we viewed images of thousands attending to see Obama, and the media reported Obama had a "rock star appeal", which may be true since the rock band "The Decemberists", held a free 45 minute concert before Obama spoke to the crowd. In Berlin, reggae artist Patrice and the rock band...

I don't think it's fair to dismiss this as "another BS e-mail." Granted, the author is evidently not part of the Phillips oil family, but there are points made in the piece that seem to be valid. According to Snopes, the basis for this piece was a separate article that came out on the 23d of...

The blade will need to be sharpened occasionally, and possibly replaced every so often if it's a softer carbon steel.

I think the point here is that if the repeat offender rate is the same with or without frills, why bother paying for the frills? Why spend the taxpayers money for the comforts of the criminals who committed crimes against them?

Several points here: (1) You're just kidding with Leo about the Koolaid - right? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. You must be into the liberal koolaid big time, but that's OK - you're committed to your beliefs. (2) Next time you're in Nixon's favorite duck restaurant in China...

Sheriff Joe sounds like Beelzebub himself, administering hell on earth to the poor unfortunates who are screwed by Maricopa county's unfair justice system which he rules with an iron fist. Imagine a jail with no air conditioning, no gym and weight room, and no Oprah or Montel, and no cafeteria...

It's obvious that international economics is not your specialty, but to be unaware that the Clinton administration opened the gates to our trade deficit with China is simply a case of Bush-hating denial. Clinton's shady deals with the Chinese fill volumes; from the political donations of the...

Re the $70 mil per month for the war - the liberals and anti-war crowd are all over the place with these numbers, and most are nonsense. To get a true picture one could go to the Congressional Budget Office website and do some research, but that still might not give a complete picture. How much...
