Sorry for the lack of updates...

I don't want to turn my blog into a strictly news regurgitation. I want to tackle different broad topics as terrorism, Iraq, Social Security and such. Keep an eye out on this page.

Church in North Carolina Throws Out Democratic Members

A radical, fundamentalist church in East Waynesville, North Carolina has thrown out nine members of its flock. Why you ask? Because they voted for John Kerry, that's why! They feel that their tolerant views on homosexuality and abortion goes against the church doctrine so much that it merits expulsion and excommunication. Forty others have already left the church in protest.

I think it's high time these churches have their tax-exempt status revoked. If they want a war on God, let's give it to them.... right in the wallet. They've been pandered for too long while interfering in the political and now personal lives of too many people.

Here's to hoping those poor folks that were booted find a new religious home that isn't so fucked-up in the head.

Al Gore to Receive a "Webby"

It looks like one of the men that was pivotal in creating the Internet (through championing and fundraising) is going to receive a "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the 9th Annual Webby Awards.

Despite the Republican smear campaign saying that Gore stated that he "invented" the internet, Gore remains to this day a champion for the internet.

Congratulations Al! If it weren't for you, we very well may not be reading this blog entry right now.

My First Post: Proof that Bush and Blair Manipulated Facts?

It seems that Lord Goldsmith, Attorney General of the United Kingdom, apparently told Prime Minister Tony Blair that his case for going to war was "thin" and could very well be "illegal".

"A separate secret briefing for the meeting said Britain and America had to “create” conditions to justify a war. "

Create conditions? So basically, they lied. They lied about WMD's and lied about Saddam's capability of obtaining and using said WMD's.

Why don't people know about this? It's headline news in Europe and around the world, but we're more worried about some dumb woman having cold feet about her wedding. Liberal media, my ass.

So where does this leave us? We have a liar and murderer as President for another 3-1/2 years, 1600 American soldiers dead, 20,000-plus wounded, upwards of 100,000-plus innocent Iraqi civilians dead, a growing "insurgency", overdeployed troops, $200 billion spent and counting and a mounting debt in this country that Alan Greenspan has declared unsustainable.

So again, where does this leave us? Hoping that the Democrats win back the Congress in '06, that's where! Then we can have some REAL investigation by the House Judiciary Committee and let's get this liar out of office as soon as possible.

I know Representative John Conyers is chomping at the bit to do it too.
