"Thy Candles Shine So Brightly..." Humor: binding us together, a stronger adhesive than love, perhaps, if only for a brief moment; bringing social civility, in a normative sense, to a family so often consumed by emotional altercations--never physical, always painful, dim.

Is she being racist....or reasonable? Racism is one of the worst things an American can think of. You would find it easier to commit murder than start an all-white restaurant or bar. We cannot have a white music channel, or a

High Five Drudge Report linked to this "interesting" story: "A five-year-old Territory girl shocked teachers when she showed her class how to make a bong out of a Coke bottle during a 'show and tell'' session." -- EDITH BEVIN (news.com.au) WHO is taking care of this little girl? If I were in charge I'd have the guardians of this child brought to the nearest courthouse and some "sense" beaten

Truth from a Troop CNN has an interview with U.S. Army Spc. John Perkins. Spc. Perkins has a lot of intereting things to say about the situation in Iraq and his feelings about his home country. And can you imagine that they're positive?! CNN - Friday, September 26, 2003 Posted: 2:36 PM EDT (1836 GMT): "HEMMER: I hate to ask the questions about feelings, but you're back in the U.S. you have

Links of the Moment Frank's newest In My World is not only hysterical it's nearly real! When's the book coming out Frank? Be sure to stop by our new meeting place for discussion on how we can fight biased reporting about the war on terrorism. THE Post of the Moment: Misha's post on abortion. Fantastic.

WE GET TO DO SOMETHIN' IMPORTANT! As Alliance members it is our duty and pleasure to fight the Blog War on many fronts. Our fearless leader has now opened a second front in this historic war. Are we man/woman enough to stand up and fight? Or shall we let the so-called "Big Media" destroy the good name of our military? Big Media will rue the day they decided to report only the negative from

Now They've Gone and Done It... If you haven't heard, Madonna and Britney Spears had a brief but male-crowd pleasing exchange on stage at the MTV Music Video Awards. By doing this they have committed one of the worst sins against man that any mortal could possibly commit: They have angered Stevie Nicks. Every well educated person knows once you've angered the Stevie Nicks there's point to

HAHAHA Drudge is reporting that a "Drunk" U.S. soldier shot a "rare" tiger in the Baghdad zoo. I find that funny. If you don't, I don't give a damn. Update: Story is now confirmed here.

Arrrgh! Here's my pirate personality brought to you by the Talk Like a Pirate Day Official Website. You are Ol' Chummy You look old for your age. Hygiene is just that thing that happens to other Pirates. You like what you like. Taking a cannonball to the head in your younger days hasn't helped. Not one to take risks, you enjoy quiet evenings on your bunk. You're a collector. You like things.

Your Inner Child Will Hate You If you order an Adult Happy Meal, your inner child will kick you in the face...and so will I. Read this filth. These new "meals" will include a salad, health booklet, and pedometer to "encourage walking." Screw walking. I'll walk from my house, to my car (which I will use to drive to McDonalds and order a huge greasy cheese burger then drive back), and back to

Will Liberal Hypocrisy Ever End? Paul Krugman, a columnist for The New York Treason, always has some interesting comments about our president. I call them interesting only because of how extremely inaccurate and farfetched they are. The only point to reading his columns is to see what inane comments he'll come up with next. Here's the communist comment of the moment taken from this article:
