As shown in this article at CBSNEWS.com, 2012 presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is mighty sore about not getting on the ballot for the Republican primaries in Virginia. He failed to get the appropriate amount of signatures on a petition to get him on the ballot. Why he’s mad, I’m not sure. The first rule in [...]
Iran recently launched a small communications and research satellite into orbit. To most this might be just another country entering the space race, but to me it sets off alarm bells. The ability to put things in orbit also gives you the ability to bring that orbital object down pretty much anywhere on the face [...]
By hook and crook and sheer luck, the Democrats of the Tennessee General Assembly have managed to scuttle the candidacy of Jason Mumpower for Assembly Speaker. Instead the post was won by Republican Kent Williams of Carter County. The Dems approached the moderate Williams over the Thanksgiving holiday and asked if he’d be interested in [...]

The two that come to mind immediately are H. Ross Perot and T. Boone Pickens. Hmm, come to think of it, they also only use an initial for [...]
Watch this film and ask yourself how this could ever end? Warning: there are images of men, women, and children who have been shot or hit with shrapnel in this video. Don’t look away though, look right at it and see it for what it really is. UPDATE: The video is gone, but just remember [...]
Unlike when I voted for these guys, I finally managed to vote for a presidential candidate that won something. Barack Obama has won the Democratic party’s nomination!
