News you can use: Midwest Floodwaters Flow Downstream

An environmentalist is someone who wants everyone to live a minimalist life except him or her.

Homosexuals claim that sexual orientation is hereditary. If that is true why hasn't homosexuality become extinct by now? Why does it seem to be proliferating instead?

Some are complaining that our wildlife refuges are being taken over by drug producers, hookers, homosexuals and illegal immigrants. Sounds like life there is pretty wild. Their solution? More money!

Am I the only one who questions the bottom-line of plastic recycling? Each week a very large, carbon-spewing truck lumbers down my street, stopping in front of each house and picking up maybe a half-dozen bottles and bags. They do this only because I'm forced to pay them to do it, not because they profit from the plastic. I suspect it goes into the landfill with the rest of the garbage.

Someone asked: Why is it that your opinion on something is worth two cents, yet you are only offered a penny for your thoughts? Where does the other penny go? I'm not sure but I suspect the government gets it.

A Texas woman has been arrested for trying to flush her stillborn baby's body down a toilet before placing it in a trash can. In Texas it's alright to kill a live baby but illegal to abuse the body of a dead one.

A capital murder defendant in jail in Arkansas has lost over 100 pounds. He has filed a lawsuit alleging that he is being starved. He has at least two problems with his suit: He still weighs 308 pounds and was caught giving away food.

I don't think Barack Obama will agree to an Obama-Clinton ticket. I wouldn't want it to be my one-heartbeat keeping the Clintons from moving back into the White House.

The talking heads are excited this morning that Barack Obama threw his long-time pastor under the bus yesterday. We should remember though that he is still an extreme left-wing socialist.

A CBS News headline: Audit: Millions Wasted in Iraq Contracts. Another reason we shouldn't entrust our health care to the government.

Someone has suggested that to ensure that our tax rebate checks stimulate only the US economy we should spend all the money at yard sales.

Barack Obama insists that the vast majority of Americans are "beaten down" by the economy and that he will fix that if he becomes President. If this is true and these people are his primary supporters, how is he able to raise a lot more money than his opponents? Could there be more than a few "special interests" lurking in the background?

This morning it's 33 degrees in Florida. Al, I'm still looking for some of that warming you promised us.

We're almost a month into Spring and it's 36 degrees here in Florida this morning. Forget global warming. I'd settle for some Florida warming.

Barack Obama thinks that small-town people think differently than him because they have been beaten down by the economy. Well, I live in a small town, cling to my guns, want illegal immigration halted, am a little leery of people that aren't like me (examples: radical Muslims and FLDS members), and I'm doing quite well financially.

Thomas Sowell has published another of his Random Thoughts columns. It is well worth reading. Sowell is my most favorite commentator on government, politics and economics. He understands the threat that Barack Obama poses to our culture of freedom and independence.

The Associated Press reports that people in Maine are struggling to keep their homes warm this winter. Many of them are having to rely on charitable contributions to buy heating oil at about $3.35 per gallon. I wonder how they feel about Al Gore's efforts to rein in global warming.

I wonder how Al Gore feels about all the reports coming out now that say the global warming trend ended around 1998 and that we are now well into a cooling trend. Oh, I know what he's thinking: "I did it!"

I encourage anyone enamored with the rhetoric of the Democrat candidates for president, especially that of Obama and Edwards, to read this column by Thomas Sowell.

The Associated Press reports that a mother in Wisconsin tried to drown her newborn twin boys in a bathtub and succeeded in killing one of them. To me this is clearly a tragic event. But, philosophically, how different is this from partial birth abortion?
