Give Israel Enough Time

Give Israel Enough Time: "George, get Condi back in the States and keep her here ! It is too early for any negotiations ! The Israelis need more time. Yes, they have made a mistake or two. So what. They are fighting the dirtiest kind of war against terrorists who are imbedded in a civilian population that the terrorists have bought and paid for, body, blood, and soul. Even and especially the children. This is both cowardice and cynicism. Dead kids make for great agiprop and pulling world opinion their way."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

You're a Writer - But Do You Deserve A Pat On The Back?

You're a Writer - But Do You Deserve A Pat On The Back?: "Our writing lives aren't always a bed of roses.

First you've got to get an idea. Then work it up into a story or poem. Is it good enough? Would an editor like it?

You send it off. The long weeks of waiting. It comes back with a rejection slip. Perhaps this means you really aren't up to it. Or does it?...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Well, of course not. Until you're an established writer with editors hungry for your work, it's going to be part of your life. Accept the fact and just get on with it!

But it needn't all be agony in the attic! Here are seven good reasons to give yourself a pat on the back:"

Falling In and Climbing Out Smelling Good

Falling In and Climbing Out Smelling Good: "I do not believe for one minute that George W. Bush had any ability, intention, or foresight to understand the geopolitics of the Middle East. I hope the fact is that George W. Bush at least has the smarts to realize that he has had the luck to fall into a fresh Texas sized cow pie and has a chance to come out smelling like a rose. He has a fresh, new, nasty Middle Eastern war, that he didn’t start, to call U.S. electorate attention away from our war of mistakes in Iraq and 2,558 U.S. military deaths, the current Iraqi civil war, and 25,000 wounded U.S. troops so far."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Thank You George W. Bush

Thank You George W. Bush: "Thank you for killing for all time the misconception that somehow Republicans had something over the Democrats in the field of Foreign Affairs. Thank you for also for killing for all eternity the misconception that the Father is like the Son. The tiny number of voters who chose to vote for you based on the idea that you would be able to tap the knowledge and expertise of Bush I have obviously found themselves adrift on an ocean of discontent. Either you ain’t listnin’ to Pappy, or you are listnin’ to the jingoistic, micro-cephalic neocons with which you have surrounded yourself."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition: "It is time that I give President George Bush some credit . His present stance of doing nothing is exactly the right thing to do when dealing with problem of the Israeli incursions into southern Lebanon and Gaza. Go for it, George! Sit back and watch. Keep your fingers out of the pie. Either do nothing, or more positively, I say, send the Israelis more ammo."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Adding Tradelines And Other Ways To Improve Your Credit Report

Adding Tradelines And Other Ways To Improve Your Credit Report: "For many people, a credit report is something akin to a mystery novel.
It's a little hard to understand, and you never know how it's going to
turn out if you don't read the whole thing. But you really do have the
power to take the mystery out of understanding what your credit report
is, how it affects your life, and what you can do to improve that all
important credit score. Let's begin with some basic definitions.

Laughing All the way to Comprehensive Immigration Reform 07.13.06

Laughing All the way to Comprehensive Immigration Reform 07.13.06: "Any comprehensive solution to immigration has to deal effectively with a number of issues. I am not sure that a comprehensive solution is possible because I do not trust our government under the Bush Administration to be able to do even one part of a multi-faceted solution correctly. This group of the gang that can’t count to five with the help of the fingers on one hand, certainly can’t shoot straight, nor walk and chew gum simultaneously without injury to the body politic."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

What Do You Want To Write Today? by Mervyn Love

What Do You Want To Write Today? by Mervyn Love: "'What shall I write today?' That is the question writers often find themselves pondering. And

yes, the reply often comes back: 'Write What You Know'. But is this always the best guiding

principle?

I don't think it is. I reckon you should first of all write about what you ENJOY. Write about

what you are enthusiastic about and would like to read about yourself. All the information you

need to KNOW can be found with research. The library, your own bookshelf, the Internet (if you're careful)." ...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

U. S. Democracy At Risk

U. S. Democracy At Risk: "The general incompetence of the current political party in charge has placed our Democracy at risk. I tend to think that perhaps they can’t help it. The Republicans have been out of power for so long at the Congressional level, and much longer since they have had both Congress and the White House that they lack practice. They are simply unskilled. That is why I think that they have had so huge a problem with corruption. Without practice they are unskilled at properly hiding their actions. They are like the dehydrated man who stumbles in out of the desert and kills himself with too much of a good thing. That, and unbridled arrogance."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Can You Believe It? I didn’t. Not at first.

Can You Believe It? I didn’t. Not at first.: "Osama bin Laden - Wanted Dead or Alive! Multiple million dollar bounty will be paid for an identifiable body in either condition.

And the CIA halts, stops, and disbands the special unit dedicated to hunting bin Laden down? Just what part of Republican Newspeak is this?

Are we just going to trust that eventually an informant on the other side will do a Jesse James on him?"...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Karl Rove Is Breeding Red Herrings in the White House

Karl Rove Is Breeding Red Herrings in the White House: "That has to be the answer that explains the rate at which the White House is able to drag out these Red Herrings, one after another. Of course, old Karl has been so successful at this particular brand of dirty politics that it is unrealistic to expect anything really new from the Chief of Dirty Tricks. Given the powers that this administration has taken unto itself, I do not understand how the full power of the Government of the United States is somehow unable to determine the source of the leak to the New York Times about undercover examination of international financial transactions. Every day that passes without the revelation of the source of the leak reinforces the very low level of competence of this administration. Throwing out a whole school of Red Herrings to stink in the noonday sun is only an attempt to divert our attention from real issues and the real future of our country."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

You Are Not God's Focus

You Are Not God's Focus: "My real problem is, what would convince God to change His mind? What would convince God to act in either way? God does not care what happens to humans. Something very fundamental must have changed? Why would God take such an indirect path as the birth of a child? The Bible tells us that, “God gave His only begotten Son . . .' (John 3:16) His first-born Son. He had to have had a very powerful, compelling reason. A reason that would be important to God.

All the reasons I've been told about, are important to people. They do not, to me,to seem to rise to a level of importance to God. It is just as reasonable for God to have seized Jesus at about age thirty. He seized Paul at a later date, to do His work. Why send an infiltrator by way of a birth canal? Never before, when 'contacts' with God are reported, it was with a human adult. Why change? Jesus grew up in a family of brothers and sisters. They were not apparently particularly impressed with Jesus until after He was thirty. Of course, in (John 4:24), Jesus himself testified, '. . . that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.'

The Sand Under Christianity's Foundation

The Sand Under Christianity's Foundation: "There is no form of supplication that can get God’s attention.

There is no ceremony that can get God’s attention. There is no rite that can get God’s attention. There is no celebration of any size that can get God’s attention. Not by crawling on hands and knees. Not by bloodletting. Not by handling of poisonous snakes. Not by self-torture. Not by self-sacrifice, including self-crucifixion. Not by volunteering for abuse. Not by killing of any animal, nor killing of any human. God simply does not care enough about humans to pay attention to such trivialities.

Stop bending to the will of the leaders of organized religion who tell you that these things will get God’s attention. They are lying to you for their own purposes. ...(Click title link to see entire article.)...
