    Why do people do this?

    This boggles my mind and infuriates me. Yes, I'd try talking to them first. If conditions do not improve, keep watch to ensure the dog is receiving adequate food, water and shelter (just a pen with no other cover is probably not adequate). And if you're near Houston, try calling the Houston...

    Anybody get a call from CFL?

    Someone called and asked for me. But they called my husband's work cell phone#. I am confused as to where they got that phone# - it's somewhat concerning. I don't recall ever giving that number out. Anyway, whoever it was didn't want to talk to my husband (although he said "I like Ron Paul, too...

    Why isn't the SC forum more active?

    Just in case y'all are still around... A while back I signed up for the Columbia RP meetup (now the Columbia Campaign for Liberty) http://ronpaul.meetup.com/195/. I get email updates about their activities just about every day. Even if you don't live near Columbia (I actually live in another...

    Text of Tennessee House Joint Resolution 108 HJR0108

    State rep. Her blog: http://susan-lynn.blogspot.com/ Good for her. I've been hearing her on our local morning radio talk show, and so far, I like what she says.

    Ron Paul will be running in 2009

    JOKE! There's no election in '09. Here's the Colbert clip from which the jokes comes (in case you missed it). Pretty funny stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXbkEpgAGEE

    blahhh...i have to take a religion course...

    That Seneca quote is one of my favorites! As a one of those damned atheists, my advice is just to enjoy the class, learn the material, think of it as broadening your horizons (e.g., "fake it till you make it"). I actually think a class on the gospels (if you're actually comparing/contrasting...

    60% of Voters Say Supreme Court Should Base Rulings on Constitution

    That's chilling! Basically, democrats/liberals reject the Constitution?? I guess I'm not surprised, really. At least the republicans have some sense (on this issue anyway). Incredibly depressing.

    Is it really that friggin hard to pronounce "nuclear" correctly?

    I know scientists who pronounce it that way...who actually study "nuclear" things, so they use the word all the time. I think they're pretty intelligent people. It's probably just a matter of where you grew up.

    Candy bars...

    I thought exactly the same thing! Glad it wasn't just me. :) Made me hungry.

    Anyone else getting pelted with Barr/LP mailings?

    Hmm, I haven't received a single thing from the Barr campaign, even though I contributed. Maybe that's it -- they know they already "have" me, so no freebies for me? :( Or maybe they're hitting your state harder than mine (TN). I dunno, but I wish they'd send me something, anything, so that I...

    They are about to turn on the super-particle collider, CERN - quest for the god atom?

    Cool. I'm no physicist, but the articles says the temperature is achieved with liquid helium. So, you know how cold liquid nitrogen is, I guess liquid helium is even colder?? Not sure how they measure it...I guess they have really good thermometers. There are some concerns that the collider...

    West Virginia All That Stands in the Way of 50-State Barr Ballot Access!

    I'd guess it's because WV has a closed primary (you have to be registered "R" to vote in it), so not many independent types voted in the Rep primary. WV is historically a "D" state - yes, they LOVE Byrd and his "goodies" - but they're mostly Reagan-dems (white, working class, socially...

    What are You Reading Right Now?

    In the politics genre: I'm on the last chapter of "The Conscience of a Conservative" by Barry Goldwater. I can't believe I'm JUST NOW getting around to it, but anyway. A non-political book I recently read for work: "Spunk and Bite: A writer's guide to punchier, more engaging language & style."...
