Maybe I missed it, but in the last three years of peace marches and protests against the war in Iraq made by those folks arguably on the Left, I don't think I've EVER seen anyone celebrating American combat casualties. Maybe Rev. Fred and his rightwing coreligionists at Westboro Baptist could learn ...

Replies: 222

In many Canadian provinces, one of the reasons for the total public ban is to try to build on the decreased numbers of young people starting to smoke, in my province, at least. As adults, don't we have some ethical responsibility for modelling healthy lifestyles for children? The less often kids se...

Fruitcakes or Fruitloops?

The Rev. Fred Phelps is apparently the Reactionary Right's answer to the so-called Looney Left , judging by the way his followers have been spreading the Good Word that God hates America almost as much as He hates Gays: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h179/flyboy55/17protest.jpg A nice little post...

I am a smoker, but I prefer to eat in Non-Smoking restraunts. I don't like the smell of smoke while I am eating, and in general. We don't smoke inside our house, or in our cars. That said, I think smoking bans are crocks, just one more law limiting a person's freedoms. Let people (restraunt patrons...

While we are on the topic of protecting yourself and your family, I think it needs to be stressed that proper storage and security of any kind of firearm is a MUST, especially if you have children (that includeds teenagers) living in the home or even visiting. If you keep a weapon handy and loaded f...

Sail On "Rev. Sloan"

Rev. William Sloane Coffin Jr., the real life inspiration for Rev. Scott Sloan of the Doonesbury comic strip passed away the other day. He was an inspiration to those who truly believe that individuals can make a difference. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h179/flyboy55/scott2.jpg http://www.indys...

When my kids became teens they felt they were too old for the traditional egg hunt, so we came up with the idea of leaving a trail of clues throughout the house, for each of them to follow to their own basket of goodies. We'd start with something obvious like a written note on the diningroom table c...

Never been on Mission Space - but I could have used a sick sac after far too many rides thru It's A Small World. :D

I believe the exact words I whispered to my wife halfway thru my third run were: Shoot me now!! My kids loved it tho and that's what counts.

Cheers.

Personally ....I do think there is a Lot of PRESIDENT Bush bashing going on, mainly for political reasons. Maybe Lt. General Newbold has political reasons or maybe not. However if he IS contemplating a run for political office, I would warn him that he'll just get smeared as a coward, traitor and a...

They call it "back bacon" up there because it comes from the back of the pig as opposed to the belly, eh. It also doesn't get cured in the same way as regular bacon thereby retaining more of its original "ham" flavor. Cheers. Impressive!! Are you a Meatologist? I do have an acad...
