The company I work for recently enacted a new Diversity policy. There are posters in the breakroom, restrooms and hallways of happy, smiling people of many and varied races, genders and apparent religions, all just gittin’ along in happy, smiling, productive peace ‘n’ harmony. "Our Strengths Lie In Our Differences", "We’re Different, but Stronger"---mottos like that. Goofy and corny. Let’s face it; are you really gonna get along better with people who are, and see things differently than you,...
I know this is long, but I thought it was interesting, and so I'm just throwin' it out there. It didn't give the author's name for some reason.----Rob From: INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted 9/29/2006 Today's Democrats are nothing like Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy, who with courage and decisive action kept on top of their jobs and aggressively confronted one national defense crisis after another. Jimmy Carter, elected during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and (1...
Six million Jews and unknown numbers of others died in the Nazi Holocaust. I believe it; I know it's a fact. I know this because I've seen overwhelming and satisfactory evidence, and heard the stories from my great-uncle Arthur, whose division, the Fighting 42nd, liberated a Death Camp. Iran, purposely taking another giant step away from the sanity and order of the rest of modern civilization, sponsored a contest to see who could come up with the best Holocaust cartoon. It was won by a moro...
Right now,as I sit here at my comptuer, all across the Fruited Plain, the Dead are walking. Yes....Evil is afoot this night. Witches prowl the neighborhoods, side-by-side with horrifically decayed zombies, as well as ghosts, goblins, vampires, pirates and terrible monsters. But never fear----sprinkled in among these Evocateurs of Evil is a healthy number of superheroes....Superman and Spiderman seeming to be the most prevalent this year, but never count out "The Dark Knight"---Batman---and...
I understand that the families of the murdered Amish girls are making provisions for a fund to be set up for the family of their daughters' murderer. They've forgiven him, I understand, and wish to help his family to get past this, and to assist in their care and wellbeing, since the husband/father is now dead. You know, you really can't get all that much more radical, as far as Christianity goes, than the Amish. Someone really should point this out to Rosie O'Donnell. I mean, they've not o...
There’s a trend I’ve noticed among many of the people on the Far Left, especially those who claim to be Socialists or Communists, that I think bears noting here. I love how the Lefties and Far Lefties are seemingly without a clue (or perhaps they just don’t want to admit it), as to why Communism's cradle collapsed like the fragile house of cards it was, in the face of real, pro-active, honest Capitalist opposition. The fact that it took the most conservative US president in over a century t...
On Sept. 15, Six Flags Great Adventure theme park in NJ held the "Great Muslim Adventure Day" (see link). 15,000 or more were expected to attend. Sadly, the event was rained out. Well, I'm sure lots of people of all walks of life were disappointed that day, having been so looking forward to a fun day enjoying Six Flags amusement facilities, right? I mean, many groups get a special day of lower rates and/or special treatment among the crowds at such parks. Right? Wrong. The entire park was cl...
We need to stop kidding ourselves. We need to wake up and pull together. We need to stop screwing around and pretending this thing is something it isn’t. Stop the petty, partisan debating of the pros and cons of what we’re euphemistically calling the "War on Terror", and face one basic fact, a fact that is standing there in the corner, like the proverbial elephant in the room. We need to stop pretending that this war in which are now engaged, be it in Afghanistan or Iraq, is just anoth...
A car bomb exploded outside the US embassy in Syria this morning; following the explosion gunmen attacked with firearms and hand grenades. Three of the gunmen were killed, along with one member of Syrian Security forces. One Syrian and a Chinese man, both bystanders, it seems at the moment, were injured.
Suri Cruise Obsession: Going a Bit Too Far If you thought Vanity Fair's 22-page photo spread of four-month-old Suri Cruise with her mommy and daddy, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, was excessive, wait until you see this! Artist Daniel Edwards--he's the one who made the life size and anatomically correct statue of Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug--has created a sculpture that he claims was cast from Suri's first bowel movement. Agence France Presse reports that the bronze poopy ...
I don't know how this got in "Personal Computing", but I moved it to this forum.-----RW If we just took off and abandoned them, Iraq would just fall apart. It would be a hell on Earth. Much worse than it is. Everything we've tried to do in the last 3+ years, along with all the deaths and maimings, would be for absolutely nothing. Iraq, as bad as it is, would be a hundred times worse if we just dropped the ball and took off. Like it or not, we both set in place AND toppled Sadaam's govern...

From Nutscrape Connect "What’s New": Lindsay Lohan: Secret About Her Sex Life Lindsay Lohan is tattling on herself. The 20-year-old actress, whose frequent sexcapades are fodder for tabloid headlines, just made it worse by revealing to Elle magazine a deep dark secret about her sex life. Or put it this way, it's a warning to any guy who has his eye on this prize. Lindsay thinks two-timing is a-okay--but only for her, not for her man. "If I'm going to give my body to someone, I'd...
In random order...whoever came to mind at the moment. Most are self-explanatory. Some aren't. Ask if you don't get it. 1. Col Gene----"Enemy of the State" (or maybe "Groundhog Day", 'cause it's always the same thing, over and over and over.....) 2. Dr. Guy----This was easy..."Trekkies". 3. Myrrander----"Huff" (okay, "Huff" is a TV show on HBO, I think....or Showtime, maybe, but it was too good a shot not to take.) Maybe "Red Dragon"? "Red Dawn"? 4. Reiki-House----"LOTR: The Two Tow...
