Poem of the Day
Illegal Immigrant
I cross ocean, poor and broke, Take bus, see employment folk.
Nice man treat me good in there, Say I need go see Welfare.
Welfare say, ”You come no more,We send cash right to your door”.
Welfare checks, they make you wealthy,Medicaid it keep you healthy!
By and by, got plenty money,Thanks to you, TAXPAYER dummy.
Write to friends in [...]
Goodbye Bill
For those of us who live in the Pacific Northwest and have attended at least one Seattle Seahawk football game, or watched the Seattle Mariner’s play baseball, we mourn the loss of a local institution.
Bill the Beerman.
Bill Scott started out as a vendor with a tray of beers and a voice that could fill the [...]
Porkety Porky Pork
Wanna know why so many people have such low regard for Congress?
Senate war bill features $20B in pork
Like their counterparts in the House, the Senate has larded its version of an “emergency” war spending bill with nearly $20 billion in pork-barrel outlays, including $100 million for the two major political parties’ 2008 presidential conventions.

Prayers Coveted
White House presidential spokesman Tony Snow’s cancer has returned. Worse yet, it has spread to his liver.
Snow, 51, had his colon removed in 2005 and underwent six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with colon cancer. A small growth was discovered last year in his lower right pelvic area, and it was removed on Monday. [...]
Life Ends
Life Magazine will shut down, for the third time, after it releases the April 20 print issue. It is the latest magazine to shut down as more readers desert print publications for online news and photos.
“Growth requires taking risks and the potential upside was huge, but unfortunately the timing worked against us,” Time Inc. Chief Executive Ann [...]
Hagel Needs To Shut His Mouth
Turncoat.
“Any president who says, I don’t care, or I will not respond to what the people of this country are saying about Iraq or anything else, or I don’t care what the Congress does, I am going to proceed — if a president really believes that, then there are — what I was pointing out, [...]
Sympathy Vote?
South Carolina’s “The State” reprints an Edwards campaign press release touting local endorsements for his candidacy. This just seems so manufactured, especially after Edwards’ announcement last week that his push for the White House would continue even though his wife is suffering from a relapse of cancer. I can just about hear the conversation at campaign headquarters. [...]
Obama’s Pastor Shares His Mind

Leopard Sighting?
It’s an illusion.
With all the rumors swirling about Leopard’s possible April release date, developers close to the matter want to make something very clear: we’re all crazy.
There have been a lot of rumors lately from “unconfirmed” sources about Leopard’s expected ship date. For a while, everyone was sure it was going to ship mid-to-late March. [...]
Games People Play
The D.C. Voting Bill has been pulled by Democrats after Republicans added a motion that would repeal the gun ban for the district.
The move is a clear signal that Democrats have lost control of House floor after minority Republicans presented the Democratic majority with a politically unpalatable motion that their conservative members would be forced [...]
