If you think W is an imperialist and think that never happened before now, just take a look at McKinley. McKinley's World View Probably the most imperialistic President we ever had, and some modern writers who are readers of history are describing our President as a person who is very McKinley'esque...

Anyone who has ever seen a Harry Potter movie knows that you go to the ladies room with a mirror to talk with talking snakes!

And that's all a great tale of the battle of good and evil...but fiction.

What we are talking about is real. Real God, real Christ, real Holy Spirit.

In our lives.

A little non-fiction paperback, and the best book I've read in awhile. Assassination Vacation is so fun I had to tell y'all about it. The author treats the search for facts about presidential assassinations like a road trip, and tells what she finds along the way. She tells enough about all the plac...

Happy people with colorful surroundings? Thanks for the laugh of the evening.

Park City is a really nice place to ski, was there in March.

Not sure about the reference to Park City in this context. The only other thing it has going is that it's a very Mormon place. And I think that we can pretty much rule out a Mormon conspiracy theory for the NCAA investigations :)

Ang

Thing is...no one here actually has all the answers, we all just have what we believe in. And we cling to it like crazy. I've been a Christian for a long time and and some years better than others...but the thing that got me going and what I still stand on is a combo of the historical reference (whi...

I disagree with most of the theology of Mormons, but after spending a week in Provo last month...gotta give the folks credit they have at least the "cheery" thing down. We took a bunch of students to a huge (900 students from 50 schools) activity for landscape and horticulture workshops an...

Good point, Radio.

Folks that wouldn't be caught dead picking up a "National Enquirer" in the grocery store lane watch the same thing on cable channels and think it's "news". Has to be news because it's on a "news" channel!

Ang

Some people just don't fit the job. I'm sure we've all been there. The surprise is that he lasted that long. I think with his tenure he probably just called it a day instead of being ousted, or simply his contract ran out. I think it was obvious that he wasn't a happy camper :)

Ang

If you want a clue to where to go from here...just read back up and read atomicdads post. A post from a parent who has kids in elementary school..but the same things go on.

Parental involvement. Don't let kids pass when they fail. Make them accountable. How hard is that?

Ang

I don't really lose sleep over this one, but I got an email from a family member who is an air traffic controller at a major airport and was wondering...what do other folks think of this? FAIR FAA I love to fly but it scares the hell out of me, and I would like air traffic controllers to be as happy...

Ang

I'll go under on this one. I think if it's going to happen...we are talking August at the latest. Put in me in for 8/22/06, and hope I'm wrong.

Ang

All we have so far is a nutjob saying he hates Israel (no real news there) and that he can enrich a few atoms for energy's sake.

How about we ask the investigators who were so sure there were WMD's in Iraq to check it out and see if Iran really has nukes?

Ang

Radio, You are so right about the Hornet's run here in OKC this year, although the home season finale was a disappointing loss with the Jazz that turns a possible play-off run to an unlikely play-off run. Still..who would have thought? the Hornets still going for a play-off spot? Thing is, even thou...

Ang

They are talking about a fetus at 22 weeks or so? Viability outside the womb is around 24 weeks with all the advancement in medicine has become almost commonplace...so I don't think the argument of feeling pain at that stage is out of the bounds of social discourse. Thing is, with all the new imagin...

Ang

Thing is, neither party is going to do it in the houses of Congress, and our President hasn't seen a spending bill he doesn't like. To even think of painting Bush as someone concerned about the deficit is delusional. So a pox on all of them! What would really stop the bleeding (and in honor of April...

Ang

I agree that the whole situation is complicated...I get that. I taught English language classes a couple of years ago in Tulsa and couldn't believe that about half the students were not from Mexico, but from other Latino countries..some from Peru, some from Venezuela. The difference was, that the fo...

Ang

You are thinking too much! I played yesterday after not playing for a couple of years, and hit the ball great, and pitched up great if I didn't think about it. I hate all this stuff about shift this so many degrees and then hold your lip this way and then look at how the grass on the tee is going be...

Ang

I was wondering what a "will creature" looked like and found this, probably better than our so-called two party system at this point :)

Ang

As a fan of C. S. Lewis, I appreciate Mere Christianity and the Screwtape Letters...but the best book I have read of his is a collection of essays that are titled God in the Dock. It is his collection of apologetic essays. Very good, not only worth the read but worth a place in your bookcase.

Ang

Huge rack for Solo!

Same thing I'm not buying. If I really thought that we would have border enforcement after filing all these folks into...having been here this many years or not...I would go for it.

But bottom line, we are not ever closing the border, and I think we need to.

Ang

Just chiming in because the Senate bill was much more advertised in the media, and IMHO a fake agreement that will go nowhere because first of all it had no teeth, and everyone is already fighting for who takes credit for a non-agreement between the sides. The Senate bill was a farce from it's incep...

Ang

Thing is, the industries that are hard to document attract a lot of illegal immigrants...and also attract a lot of legal folks who don't want to pay taxes and have long term responsibilities. The ones that come to mind are the landscape and construction industries. We are all familiar with them, whe...

Ang

Exactly that! Good ole boy who doesn't like much of the conveniences of life...only needs a few things in his hotel room because he loves the outdoors and hunting, oops unless a friend's face happens to be in the way. You got it! That's the drill. And there are birds singing in the background, serio...

Ang

Don Imus. It's from a female perspective, and the first person that came to mind :)

Ang

I guess if you were really paying attention, you would see that after years of Cheney being in the public eye...he is just that. The guy is so boring that the hotel item just fits. He's been around for awhile, in case you haven't noticed, with plenty of news stories about how boring and unpretentiou...

Ang

When you figure it out, please let me know! My son will be 14 in 4 months, has the same toys and the same swan dive with grades. I think at this point, they need a good kick in the ass...but for a birthday anything involving a few friends and some music would be good :) I think we are going to a bas...

Ang

With J Lo and the like, I can see it. Their business is totally commercial. Same with professional sports folks. We have a friend who works for the NFL and she has told us a few stories about contracts she has seen that demand fresh flowers in the limos and outrageous demands for personal luxury and...

Ang

Nice try to find a scripture regarding abortion, I've never found one. What I have found is a whole lot of people who think that women deserve better than just a choice to abort. I study the scriptures and think that what is left out is as important as what is put in. Abortion isn't in there as a st...

Ang

Looks to me like everyone is spinning in their own personal opinion about this, and what we saw on the first post was someone saying what the folks in service would or would not see based on what? A survey? Someones opinion? I have no idea, and nothing was backed up to say how the opinion was made. ...

Ang

I realize that the Canada thread went elsewhere, and happy about that, but have a few things to say about the port thing. It is really easy to get up in arms about our port security being sold out to others, and I see the alarm in that sale going to an Arab country...but I wonder how many of us real...

Ang

That was a great game! Stupid foul by Eaton with one second left is the most obvious from a Cowboy perspective, but a missed 1-1 a few seconds earlier and some other plays came into it. I liked the game, although a heartbreaker from my side. Sean, Eddie's boy, may not be the best looking head coach ...

Ang

Thing is, every time there is a death sentence a whole lot of people just come around saying there should be no death penalty. Well, folks... the way it works right now we have the death penalty in many states, so if you want to fight the death penalty please do it all the time instead of just when ...

Ang

I'd like to know why Al went to Saudi Arabia to talk about poor treatment of folks after 9/11. Didn't he consult with Michael Moore and all the conspiracy theorists who believe that Saudis were given preferential treatment and escorted out of the US by the Bush government? And what about all the fol...

Ang

I think the term "stature" sorts itself out when you look at career wins. People around Eddie Sutton love him because he loves the game and is a great teacher of the game. After he singlehandedly brought back the OSU basketball program from the ashes...he was an incredible comfort to all t...

Ang

skull, I agree. I think Eddie has not been himself, and it hasn't done justice to this young team to have him at less than 100% coaching. If the major leader is struggling himself, how are the players supposed to respond at 110%? I've watched a lot of basketball teams, and the frustration on the fac...

Ang

I guess that's why we don't see all those ideas that we don't support from the decent people that Gunslinger was talking about. They all get executed by folks trained right here in the good ole USA by their home governments!

Ang

Before you assume that it was alcohol (even though he has a history a few years back in the Kentucky days for alcohol abuse and then treatment at the Betty Ford Center), consider the fact that he has been on major pain meds due to the back problem for months. DUI includes prescription meds. The poli...

Ang

Rack Gunslinger...but but, don't get too down on Bush unless you are willing to pay about $10 for a gallon of gas. The whole cartel has been in place for decades, and even with Bush in charge, he's just a guy with hands tied as many Presidents before have been unless any of them could find a way to ...

Ang

You all know I'm a bleeding Orange kind of gal... I heard earlier today that Eddie was having some dizziness when leaving the arena for pre-game preps. I think he's just having some health issues about being 68 (my best guess) or however old he is and trying to keep up with having a really bad team ...
