I think I've thought of another reason McCain is so eager to stop campaigning. I haven't heard anybody talk about his opportunity to learn about a critical issue in this campaign.Think about it from a self proclaimed economic amateur's point of view. What do you do when you don't know much about the economy and you don't really know how the government does (or is supposed to) react to a

Here's a letter from the MOMocrats that I think everyone needs to read and spread. This is some of the letter:Here's what I want you to do:I want you to fight. back. I am giving you permission to get. angry. I want to hear you say, "Enough is enough!" every time you speak. I want you to take on their cynical, half-truth-ridden, insulting-to-all-American-citizens campaign and wrestle it to the

These girls are called The Cactus Cuties. They sang the national anthem at the Texas Tech-Baylor game Mar. 8, 2008 at the United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, TX. One of the girls is 8 years old, one is 13 and the other three are 11.The whole thing is amazing, but pay attention to the end. The crowd remains silent all the way through the end of the national anthem, which tells you just how well

Karl Rove, in one ironic sound bite, displayed so much of what is bad about politics and the political elite. From an ABC News blogger:ABC News' Christianne Klein reports that at a breakfast with Republican insiders at the Capitol Hill Club this morning, former White House senior aide Karl Rove referred to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, as "coolly arrogant.""Even if you never met him, you know

I haven't posted in a while, but I figured a good way to come back is to try and help spblat spread the word fogpie around the internet.Spblat invented the word and I made up a definition using the context from the sentence he had used it in. I'm interested to see where this goes and I hope it starts getting used in everyday internet debates. I envision it being used in a situation where

If you care about the First Amendment or the idea that your elected officials are wasting their time and your money on ways to violate it, then you need to write to your US Senators right now.Sen. Ted Kennedy and Sen. John Kerry have both recieved this from me:As you probably are aware, S.Res.483 is "a resolution recognizing the first weekend of May 2008 as 'Ten Commandments Weekend'." As you

I am a member of several online communities and another member of one of these posted some disturbing quotes that he gathered about people who are "scared" of Barack Obama. See the rest here."When I first heard of Barack, a few days ago, the first thing I heard is that he is a guy who came out of nowhere and now many flock to his side. When my wife and I heard this, we both thought the same

HAHAHAHA!!!!1111!!!one!!!!Check out this cute post by kirk's older brother. I say cute becasue it amounts to a mortal human sticking up for the feelings of an omnipotent being. It doesn't make any sense for god to be offended by lowercase letters, let alone someone else taking offense on behalf of god.ray Said:A Special Note to AtheistsI am honored that so many non-Christians frequent this site

Keith Olbermann is one of my favorite political commentators. I find his honest, pointed criticism of almost anyone to be a refreshing departure from what the mainstream media typically spits out. I especially like his "Special Comment" segments when he really bites down and focuses his attention on one issue of the day. Sometimes he rails against Bill O'Reilly and "Fox Noise", sometimes he

I'm experimenting with different titles for my blog to see what I like better. The old one, "My Thoughts, Online", seemed so plain and non-descriptive that I've changed it to "Soup's Soapbox" for now. I like the alliteration and I think it gives an accurate idea of what this blog is intended for.

This is my response to this garbage.His rant is in reference to our one-on-one debate.Mark Carlton wrote:Who Really Believes in Fairies?The whole point of the analogy was that nobody really believes in fairies.Mark Carlton wrote:Several weeks ago there was a flare-up in an online discussion I was having with an atheist. Things were going along well until he compared faith in God with faith in
