Borrowing more money overseas does not fix our enormous debt problems. It is exactly the wrong measure. Increased productivity produces wealth. It's not a difficult concept. There is more common sense to be found in your local barbershop than in Washington,DC. The Dow took a plunge...

Chef... doctors and nurses have free choice about what type of medical practice to engage in. If the federal government threatened to withhold federal payments to them, they can simply opt out of doing any work that depends on federal funding.

There is no possible way unwilling doctors and nurses could be forced to perform abortions. Only those already in the abortion industry, and those willing to be trained, will be performing abortions. This issue is an emotional powderkeg and no minds are likely to be changed through argument...

Heaven just found its new announcer.

You got some snow coming to ya, RLENT. Winchester is lovely draped in white.

The Ford 6.0 was a disaster. The earlier 7.3L is extremely reliable. Why Ford wanted to toy with a proven performer is beyond me. Guess they were trying to meet some new EPA standards. For this very reason, I am looking at Sprinters and GM products.

Inky... that's good stuff.

Respectfully I ask... what is a Sprinter? Neither fish nor fowl. Looks like a super-sized 1976 AMC Pacer jacked up on steroids. *L* Just kidding, there's a Sprinter in my future. Hopefully.

Today, I finally got a letter from my son in Parris Island. He described Marine boot camp as "tough as hell." (I tried to tell him that). He said he and his fellow recruits just finished a four hour course on bayonet training. How can anyone talk for four hours on bayonets I wondered...

Mae West lives!

Turtle... those are very respectful photos. Beautiful in their solemnity. I suspect, but can't be sure, they were taken by a military servicemember. My concern is giving editorial control over to MSNBC and their cohorts. We live in an open society (I think) so despite my misgivings, it's...

Yeah , he is a *#&#!! socialist. I din't agree with many Bush policies and even fewer Obama policies. I just hope allowing families the choice of media coverage isn't exploited by the likes of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann as a tool for left-wing propaganda. The left has a long...

Your avatar is just fine. Don't be bullied by the politically correct. Leave it to them and we'll all be eunuchs.

Dreamer... sounds like we drive the same van. I love the diesel E350.

As I delivered a government load to Dover AFB a few weeks ago, a hearse was leaving the gates. I concluded another fallen soldier was coming home. It was Bush's policy to not allow any media coverage of the flag draped coffins being returned, lest it erode public support for the war...

Moral vs. immoral? I fear the amoral.

Das Kapital ! Picture America as the good ship Titantic. We struck the berg last September and have been taking on water ever since. I totally agree, unsustainable debt is our undoing. We're baling out water as fast as we can, but there seems to be an inevitability looming. What...

Chef... America is changing and there's no going back to the way things used to be. Our economic system is very unstable and our government is incompetent. I think we might be watching the slow motion collapse of an empire. I fear a more authoritarian style of government waits for us ahead...

This guy's permanent grin is starting to give me the creeps. Sort of like Liberace.

Grammar Nazi Alert!! See parenthetical phrase above. *L*
