    From History.com: Ancient Origins Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end...

  • When Greed is Obvious

    Greedy greedy people. I'm ashamed of the lawyer who talked them into this. If they thought of this themselves, I'm ashamed of them. This is a sad show of greed. I bolded the section that is annoying. http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,650202910,00.html Ogden police are sued over death in '05 chase...

  • The Non-Religious Issues with gay Marriage

    Last week there was some discussion around gay marriage. Those who support it claim that there are no economic or otherwise substantial reasons why it shouldn’t be allowed. Others claim that it is discrimination like “sitting in the back of the bus”. As promised, I said I would put a post out today regarding...

  • Legislate from the bench, a growing trend

    Hey Libs, has that pesky voice of the people thing got you down? Go to the courts and let a couple judges change the laws for you. Nothing like a good old dictatorship.

  • Tooo old to dress-up for Halloween?

    On a personal note this morning, i would like to ask another question.. Are you ever too old to dress up on Halloween? Personally, i don't think so. I love to dress up.

  • Karl Rove, the Democrats Envy

    Hat tip Right Wing News: I know the Dems just wish they had this guy on thier team. But, non the less, he isn't. His words here sound like a familiar comment he made about the Bush/Kerry election. Everyone was sure Kerry would win. The polls were anywhere from 6 to 9 points for Kerry. Rove (and myself...

  • Walk, Run, Ride

    This from Gullable.info: A recent economic study conducted by OPEC concluded that if everyone in America walked instead of drove one day each week, the decrease in demand would cause world oil prices to fall between $10 and $12.45 per barrel. I wonder what the the impact to business would be; entertainment...

  • Hugo tries to buy and bribe his way to UN seat.

    Why not, that is how most of them get there. I heard a reporter yesterday describe it as the "very powerful UN security council". Isn't that a joke. The best news coming out of the UN is the replacment of Kofi. I'm not sure what to think of the replacement. The fact that he was picked by UN gives him...

  • CNN vs. Foxnews

    The Monday morning following the N. Korea nuke test, i was able to watch both CNN and Foxnews. CNN took the majority of the day covering the Folley Fallout, and FoxNews spent the day on the Nuke Test Fallout. It becomes painfully obvious why Foxnews ratings are so much higher that everyone else. They...

  • N. Korea test nukes?

    So it looks like we will have another test for the UN Security Council. I can't say i have a lot of faith that they will do anything. Talk is cheap. There are a few country leaders in this world that shouldn't have this power. Kim Jong II is one of them. Iran is the other. This much power comes with...

  • Speak Your Mind Friday!

  • As a Father...

    As the Father of 3 girls, it makes me sick that this guy will be free on the streets today. It's tough to call, but do we have to wait for him to do something more to get him off the street.
