The State of Union... I guess I am becoming more Republican all the time! I just cannot get over what I hear when the Dems spout off. Is it just me or do they have a platform at all? It seem as though Bush did not have any Dem bashing at all and that guy from the Dems all he did was bash Bush. Half of the words he spoke were "tonight you heard Bush wants this but we want this other thing..." It's always the same too... Take from the rich and give to the poor. Did anyone even read the thing I had about taxes about 10 posts back? It kills me that because this country is mostly supported by the top 10% of wage earners that they would want to not give those guys a break, instead they would rather take more $$$ from those 10% and give it to the other 90% of the country! No wonder the top 10% are looking for ways to hide money from the tax man... give him an inch and ... On top of that Bush wanted to cut taxes equally across the board... does this not sound fair to you? Incredible... and with the Iraq thing... my dad sent me a joke today that really does illustrate this thinking!
The Difference Between The Liberal and Conservative "Debate" Over The War On Terrorism:
Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner and is running at you while screaming obscenities. In your hand is a compact 9mm and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Liberal Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a
few days to try to come to a conclusion.

Daughter: "Nice group, Dad, but you wouldn't have needed so much ammo with a .45!"
I know it's funny but it's true! We told Saddam 11 years ago disarm or else... he didn't, we told him again more recently disarm or else, he didn't, so then we told him show us you've disamed or else(the most recent U.N. Resoltuion)... or else what!?!?
Two years ago the Dems told Bush get the U.N. resolution before you move on Iraq, HE DID! No! Wait they said, you didn't ask congress for permision so HE DID and they GRANTED IT! Now, they are saying no wait you have to ask again! BULLSHIT! We are starting to look like pussies! The Dems, who have no platform to stand on, either hope the economy goes tits up or/and we do not go to war with Iraq. If either of these thing happen they are sunk. Guess what the economy is turning around, it's slow and but it is growth check the numbers for yourself! and you know what putting your politics and your re-election chances before the safety of my family and my country! What if your wrong, what if we wait and you get elected and then they nuke every city in the US with a dirty nuke or some of that Anthrax that we KNOW they have! What then! Assholes! You heard what Bush said last night! He gave you 3 smoking guns and Hans Blix gace you an unfavorable report as well, and how do you respond... by trying to pass another bill requiring, yet again, permission from congress to move forward.
Stepping off the soapbox.... sorry about that! Let's lighten up a bit...
Better go look at this site quickly I see C&D coming any day now!
I think an open source encylopedia is such a brilliant idea! This should have been done sooner!
Before 911 THE event that floored me more than any other was the day the Space Shuttle exploded. I was youngish in college and this event was a huge wake up for me... maybe we couldn't do anything, maybe the 80's were to good to be true! Yesterday was the anniversary of that event. Challanger explodes on this day in 1986. I was gutted for several days after this. Even now as I read the story it send chills down my back!
