When people began expressing their concern about full body scanners in airports showing more of their bodies than they were comfortable with, officials reassured them that these images were just viewed by one member of airport security personnel and then immediately deleted.  That just didn’t sound right to me. Why employ these full body scanners [...]

The UK Times of London has an article today that reports on an interview Tiger Woods did just days before his car crash that led to the revelations that he had been enthusiastically cheating on his wife. It’s amazing how easily the lies slipped from his lips:
Tiger Woods spoke of his deep-seated commitment to his [...]

With all the craziness that has descended upon our country since  Obama’s election, I find it is easy for me to sink into a feeling of despair sometimes because I see that our wonderful, once-in- human-history country is sinking and disappearing into an abyss of unrecognizable government controlled collectivism.
When I feel myself beginning to feeling this way, [...]

Tom Daschle knew the reason why Clinton failed with his socialized medicine is because he actually let the American people in on what he wanted to do. Daschle advised Obama to sneak it in, which is what he’s done. Nationalization – and rationization – of health care is in the stimulus bill! Betsy McCaughy [...]

With three young kids, my husband and I don’t get a lot of opportunity to go out and watch movies in a theater anymore. I think last year we saw two of them, one in November and the other in December. When we get the chance to do the dinner and a movie thing, we [...]
