Maybe the Bush Presidency has been a success after all
News Item, March 23, 2007, Seattle Times:
WASHINGTON — Public allegiance to the Republican Party has plunged since the second year of George W. Bush's presidency, as attitudes have edged away from some of the conservative values that fueled GOP political dominance for more than a decade, a new survey has found.
The survey, by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center for People and the Press, found a "dramatic shift" in political-party identification since 2002, when Republicans and Democrats were at rough parity. Now, half of those surveyed identified with or leaned toward Democrats, while 35 percent aligned with Republicans.
What's more, the survey found the public attitudes are drifting toward Democrats' values: Support for government aid to the disadvantaged has grown since the mid-1990s, skepticism about the use of military force has increased and support for traditional family values has edged down.

What a world, what a world
It used to be when someone said "What'll they think of next?!", it referred to some amazing invention or time-saving device. Now it refers to sites like this one:

Though I have to admit, there are times I coulda used their service.

Theorize This
Lawrence M. Krauss, a theorist at Case Western Reserve, said not long ago at a public panel on cosmology in Chicago: “If you got rid of us, and all the stars and all the galaxies and all the planets and all the aliens and everybody, then the universe would be largely the same. We’re completely irrelevant.”
Actually, that's not true. If you got rid of just me, the universe would be changed forever. Well, at least mine would be.

Shirley you can be Frank with me
Did ya ever wonder why when someone starts a sentence with "Needless to say..." they say it anyway?
Whenever someone says "Honestly..." or "Frankly..." or "To tell the truth..." or my favorite "To be really honest with you..." it makes me think they aren't telling the truth the rest of the time.
Have you ever been Frank with someone?
And can you get put in jail for feeling a little Randy?
