A Dunghill by Any Other Name Would Smell As Putrid

The tax-dollar-receiving/wasting, criminal enterprise to which our President is beholden, ACORN, has changed its name to Community Organizers International. Dung in. Dung out.

Bizarre, neo-socialist groups like ACORN are free to operate in our society. I'm just outraged that they receive our tax dollars. I'm disturbed that we have a president who is so closely aligned with them.



Hopefully this acorn won't grow up to be a big socialist, America-destroying tree.
Guys Come On. Cook. It's Worth It.
Real men can cook, and they can do it well. I just had to go on record with that. For some reason I still get a bit of a puzzled look when having conversations with acquaintances and/or coworkers.

Personally I love to cook. It's great to be able to say: "Sweetie, we're having gourmet in tonight."

So what's a guy to do?

Okay, the goal isn't to become a chef. We all have our gifts. To me, the goal is just to treat the special woman in your life to something special. While it may be true that she'd really like for you to fix that stupid door, I think cooking is always a plus. I've yet to meet a woman who wouldn't appreciate the gesture of a man cooking for her.

So...Take a class. Get a cookbook. Watch the Food Network. Learn. Experiment. Try. Go into the kitchen and help her. By the way, I think all couples should cook together, at least occasionally.

To me, cooking/enjoying food is a bit like making love. Always keep in mind what is enjoyed most by the one you serve. Communicate about what you like. Always show appreciation for the effort. Never be afraid to try something new.

Yes, I'm a bit of a romantic I suppose, but I think it works.

Next...massage....woooooo. HA!
Al Jazeera, Not Biased at All
Most people on the American Left would rather watch Al Jazeera than Fox News. Believe it or not, there are some who actually see Al Jazeera as just an unbiased news source started to combat Western propaganda.

Well, here's what Al Jazeera has to say about your messiah Obama and his effort to conduct what the Left would consider the only legitimate American war - Afghanistan.

A civil war is brewing in Pakistan. Thanks to President Barack Obama, who is shifting the American war from Iraq to 'the real enemies' operating from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Cash-strapped Pakistan could not defy Obama persuasion and decided to wage a war against its own people..."



Jon and Kate...Just Great
Reality tv is pretty stupid. I've never watched the stupid Jon and Kate Plus 8 show, but I'm not surprised that they're getting a divorce. People will do anything to get on television, even subject their 8 children to a sick, voyeuristic society.

Like far too many, Jon and Kate, bailed out on marriage. Well, there were reports Jon had girlfriends, so Kate is free to protect herself. It's still sad for the eight children.

By the way, stop having litters!!! More and more I'm unnerved by the whole in vitro fertilization deal.
Sarkozy dit: NON! "Tolerant" French to Ban Burkhas?


The secular progressive Left has shown its true nature in France with President Nicolas Sarkozy advocating for the banning of burkhas.

You might personally view burkas as ugly, stupid, weird or oppressive, but if a woman believes it is a sign of modesty for her faith she should be able to choose to wear it. That should always be the case as long as the action, like wearing a burka, is not infringing upon the rights of anyone else. Unless someone else in involved in threatening or physically forcing a woman to wear a burka, government should not get involved. Of course the burkha shouldn't be allowed while taking an official photo for a license or passport.

What next? Will they tell Pentecostal women that they cannot always wear long sleeves, skirts that reach the ground and unshorn hair.

It seems that the secular progressives are for freedom to do everything (abortion on-demand up till the nth moment; easy, drive-by divorce; breeding and having "the government" take care of your children, etc.) but practicing ones faith gets is a problem.

Is America next?
