Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Toilets in one London prison are getting a face-lift — or rather, a change in direction — to accommodate Muslim inmates who can't use them while facing Mecca, a British newspaper reported.

I think this should be put into all building codes in the United States.  That way, when the takeover is complete, homeowners won't need to bear costly renovations.

“This was his decision to go to war with an ill-conceived plan and an incompetently executed strategy,” the Democratic senator (Clinton) said in her first presidential campaign tour through the early-voting state of Iowa.

Let us analyze this statement - Ms. Clinton supports the troops, but at the same time is calling the military incompetent. Who, but the military is "executing the strategy"? It would seem that her thighness doesn't think before she speaks. I've heard it mentioned that words MEAN things, and I'm thinking that the 'smartest woman in the world' isn't smart at all. Cleaver, sneaky, charismatically fooling people maybe, but not smart.

Drudge Report is highlighting the hysteria around global warming with the release of the UN special report that the Earth's temperature is rising and sea levels with it. In addition, the Democrats are now trying to pin the White House with a "cover-up" by "altering" facts about global warming. So if Iraq wasn't enough, now the Bush Administration is trying to destroy the Earth by covering up global warming.

Tell me, how can you cover up something that is blasted all over the newspapers, television and internet on a daily basis? I would ask why are others (I.e. liberals and environmental nut-jobs) covering up the counter point that global warming is not caused by humans but by natural forces?

About the U.N wanting to call an emergency Climate summit. They couldn't even compel Saddam to allow weapons inspectors to do their job, what do they expect the baby blue helmets to do about GW? And we give the U.N. tons of money!!! What a waste!

I wanted to tell you all that I contacted both of my Senators (Nelson and Martinez) in regard to Senate Bill 1, I did not get a response from Martinez (I guess his staff is busy), but this is the response I received from Bill Nelson:

"Thank you for contacting me regarding the "grassroots lobbying" provision in the Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act of 2007 (S.1)."

"The Senate recently approved an amendment to remove the grassroots provision, before overwhelmingly passing the bipartisan broader bill. I voted to uphold the grassroots lobbying provision because it would have increased transparency in lobbying."

"A great deal of confusion surrounded this particular provision in the weeks leading up to this vote. In reality, this provision would have affected few true grassroots organizations."

"Instead, the provision would have applied only to paid efforts by large, professional lobbying firms to stimulate grassroots lobbying. Only groups spending more than $25,000 per quarter to influence the general public to lobby Congress would have been affected by the provision. It would not have prevented organizations from communicating with their members."

"Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important issue. Achieving effective, bipartisan ethics and lobbying reform remains a priority for me. Please don't hesitate to contact me in the future."

What do you all think of Nelson's response?

Hi...since I see you're here just thought I'd ask you real quick what your thoughts are on John Hague (sp) I think it is...on the conservative side of the aisle in the Parliment.

I was watching C-Span the other night and he and  Margaret Beckett were going back and forth , well the whole House or whatever the proper term is, were talking about the war in Iraq and some on Iran, and of course the USA.

I thought of you and wondered what your opinion is.

If you have time.

I love watching the back and forth...too bad we do not do that here more...the bam bam bam back and forth and to the point style!

Beckett (I hope her name is correct, I have watched her for years too, see she has more hair now...lol) cracked me up with a good one with something to the effect of 'I have said this repeatedly, do you not ever wash your ears out' to somebody in the parliament...I about died laughing!

Just curious.

I don't comment too much here ('cause quite frankly most folks beat me to constuctive comments by the time I read the site).  That said, I like to occasionally throw my 2 cents in where I can (and hopefully add to the knowledge base).

It's sad when news for the support on the WOT and for our president must come from the Great White North
