Massachusetts Is Full Of Libs, Allows Gay Marriage - Has Lowest Divorce Rate In America

Massachusetts Is Full Of Libs, Allows Gay Marriage - Has Lowest Divorce Rate In America

If blue states care less about moral values, why are divorce rates so low in the
bluest of the blue states? It’s a question that intrigues conservatives, as much
as it emboldens liberals.

My guess, and this is just a guess and maybe not a good one. In red states the pressure for marriage might be higher, if a couple who are dating or living together, maybe they are pushed into marriage before they are ready, or before they understand each other as people. In blue states where relationships are more free, and there are examples of people who have had solid relationships for years - without getting married, there is less pressure. It makes marriage a choice, something that you have time to think about, is it really something that you want to commit to with that person.

DEMOCRAT DEFECTS ON IRAQ* REP BRIAN BAIRD

I really don't know...

Nugent to Hillary and Obama - suck on Ted's gun

Nugent to Hillary and Obama - suck on Ted's gun

This is a very sad, sorry man who claims to be a patriot, but it sounds more
like a cry for help. Ranting onstage about how Obama and Clinton should suck on
his weapon sounds like something Bob Allen might ask if he can do to a cop in a
park restroom...

I am not posting the video because it is pointlessly vulgar. However I wanted to point out how these very same people attacking Ted and questioning his patriotism, would be calling him a hero if he had said the same about Bush.

What a night!

What a night!

Ok. So once again - this must be like the millionth time - we were duped into
the fidel castro is dead thing. But were we, really? Does anyone really think
he's still alive, all all of that hullaballooo?

Sounds like the rumors of Fidel's death are at this point unfounded - being it is Cuba though, Fidel might live longer than Elvis.

Lebanon's Assault on Fatah al Islam Resumes

Lebanon's Assault on Fatah al Islam Resumes

Lebanon's military has been fighting Fatah al Islam for nearly three months now
and has reduce large parts of Nahr al-Bared to rubble in heavy fighting.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese have requested that the UN peacekeeping forces
(UNIFIL) stay on for another year. UNIFIL could stay on indefinitely, but unless
UNIFIL and the Lebanese start disarming Hizbullah throughout the country, the
threat of war hangs over the country. Right now, UNIFIL's mandate only permits
them to deal with Hizbullah South of the Litani River, but Hizbullah has
regrouped and swarmed the area to the North, placing its forces inside civilian
areas - knowing that if they fire on Israel, the counterbattery fire will result
in Lebanese civilian casualties.

I think it is important to think about what a terrorist food hold inside Iraq would mean for the government of Lebanon in its fight against terror. What it would mean for Israel in its fight against Hizbullah. The region is at a tipping point, where it could go either way, and Iraq is a key part of this balance.

Florida Dems could lose say in 2008 race (AP)

Florida Dems could lose say in 2008 race (AP)

WASHINGTON - Florida Democrats would forfeit their votes in selecting a
presidential nominee unless they delay their state election by at least a week,
the national party said in a stern action Saturday meant to discourage others
from leapfrogging ahead to earlier dates.
The Florida party has 30 days to submit an alternative to its planned Jan. 29 primary or lose its 210 delegates to the nominating convention in Denver next summer

While I don't know if they can or actually would carry through with this threat, it is about time that someone did something to turn back what has become a pointless game of leap frog.

Thompson Says He Likes His Position - Washington Post

Thompson Says He Likes His Position - Washington Post

"We have done within a few months what other people have spent much longer
periods of time doing," Thompson told reporters before delivering a keynote
speech to the Midwest Republican Leadership Conference, which has drawn party
activists from 12 states.
Thompson has had a less-than-stellar summer that included a campaign staff
shake-up and fundraising that failed to meet expectations. But he has polled
well in national surveys despite his unofficial status.

I still am not going to believe that he is in it, until I see him in it.

Will This Weed Really ‘Save Humanity’?

Will This Weed Really ‘Save Humanity’?

With oil trading at roughly $70 a barrel, this lowly forest plant is suddenly an
unlikely star on the world’s alternative-energy stage. The seeds from jatropha’s
golf-ball-size fruit contain a yellowish liquid similar to palm oil that can be
made into biodiesel … But unlike other biodiesel crops, jatropha can be grown
almost anywhere — including deserts, trash dumps, and rock piles. It doesn’t
need much water or fertilizer, and it isn’t edible. That means environmentalists
and policy makers don’t have to worry about whether jatropha diverts resources
away from crops that could be used to feed people.

Could this be the source of energy that we have been looking for. Bio fuels have a strong future, but the current crops that are used for bio fuel are not good for energy. A plant like this could dramatically change the application of bio fuels to energy policy.
