, which will set up a new "volunteer
corps" and consider whether "a workable, fair and reasonable mandatory service requirement

Newly unearthed video
shows the extent to which Obama, Cuomo and ACORN were involved in and responsible
for our current economic mess. Despite this, ACORN
will be teaming up (again) with Obama for the 2010 census..
The fine print of the recent spending bill contains another gift to unions: State
governments that contract jobs paid for with stimulus money will be required to
pay workers union wages, which means fewer jobs and fewer
projects.
CULTURE:

here's a live one - Frances Quin Hunter, child of Edward's mistress,
celebrating his first birthday. I don't see daddy.
A major research project will culminate in three years with the first transfusions
into human volunteers of "synthetic" blood made from the stem cells of
spare IVF embryos. Spare embryos??
Welcome aboard a
brand new country. A utopian project part-funded by a dot
com tycoon aims to build a giant platform off the coast of San Francisco where people
can live free of government regulation. I want in!
Good news for global warming alarmists. A new national survey commissioned by the
California Academy of Sciences and conducted by Harris Interactive reveals that
the U.S. public
is unable to pass even a basic scientific literacy test.
First Lady as new 'super hero' |
First Lady Michelle Obama is poised to become a superhero next month when a

she'll fare in a fictional format:)

Merriam-Webster dictionary has
changed their definition of the word 'marriage,' a word
which has referred exclusively to a contract between a man and a woman for centuries.
It has now added same sex. Lovely.
The unwed birth rate has now reached an
all time high in the United States. Political correctness

butchering six people, a new photograph of mass murderer Charles Manson has been
released. He is now old and ugly.
Speaking of, well..., on a lighter note, I include yet another of Obama's
'teleprompter moments.' Its no wonder Obama never leaves
home without it.
Here's
another speech
he gave in 2008 without the help of his teleprompter. Pretty scary stuff. Enough
to make one wonder who'se words he's parroting.
On a personal note, all this change is leaving me frustrated and angry when I'd
rather be smiling. I include this excellent video that Glenn Beck ran last week,
entitled '
A Message
From Thomas Paine'. At least I know others feel as I do and are starting
to make their voices heard.
