Israeli Raids in Gaza
Israel will only take so much pestering before they swat the pests that keep firing missles into their territory. Saturday morning that point had been reached and Israel responded. Israeli warplanes retaliating for rocket fire from the Gaza Strip pounded dozens of security compounds across the Hamas-ruled territory in unprecedented waves of airstrikes Saturday, killing at least 155 and wounding more than 310 in the single bloodiest day of fighting in recent memory. So here we go! :-(The vast ...

The Political Season is Now Open
The Life & Game Commission of the United States allows no more than one Republican and two Democrats during this hunting season.

Government Control
The role that governments play in various societies varies greatly. However, if there is one tendency for ALL governments, it is that they tend to always move toward control. With the ability to print money and tax the masses, they also seemingly appear to have unlimited resources. Those two fallacies have brought down many governments and politicians. Last night Barack Obama promised that the Federal government would be the knight in shining armor. One of the most crazy examples of ...

Is George Allen's Political Career Over?
In the wake of George Allen's defeat by Jim Webb, let's not write Allen's political obituary just yet. Sure, it was a disappointing loss for Allen, who, just four months ago, seemed like a cinch to win overwhelming re-election to his Senate seat and be on his way to a formidable run for the White House in 2008. Now, after several gaffs and a poorly run campaign, he sits as a lame-duck senator with his 2008 presidential aspirations having been dashed. My, how quickly fortunes can change in ...

Stimulus Bill # 2
What's more than opbvious is that the Bush stimulus bill hasn't stimulated anything other than an argument over what someone can do with the so-called stimulus money. Citi Bank tried to buy a fancy $50,000,000 plane. Merrill Lynch spent more than one million upgrading the executive suite. And god only knows what else the money has been spent on or why.

International Adoption - Is It for You?
International adoption is a very positive alternative for
couples who've endured disappointing fertility results and

The availability of orphans means that you generally get to
exert more control over the process of adoption. Things also
happen much quicker, and tend to be more final once a decision
