It’s why we recoil against the untruths of TV commentators who lie again and again to advance their own ideologies. They lie and they know we know they’re lying. But lies are too often accepted as legitimate moves in our political ga...

Welcome to Vichy America
This was not just another election. The last time we had a presidential election, the Left tried to get a brazen traitor elected - namely John Kerry. This new President from the Left is even more than that. Obama was no traitor, because he never was really on our side in the first place. Obama was really a foreign candidate - in spirit, funding, and citizenship.

By the way, in case you’ve forgotten, there are STILL two rovers poking around on Mars . Intended to last just three months, both Spirit and Opportunity have remained functional and mobile for well over four YEARS.
Kudos to the engineers and techs. True, the rovers are wearing out, but it’s simply amazing to realize they’ve weathered over 1500 day/night cycles, including two Martian winters that neither was expected to survive. We’re still getting good science from... more
No More Free Baggage For American Passengers - KNTV-TV- msnbc.com ET May 22, 2008 American Airlines will start charging $15 for the first checked bag, cut domestic flights and lay off possibly thousands of workers as it grapples with record-high fuel prices.
This incredibly stupid and off-putting move, instead of doing the sensible thing, which would be to raise the ticket fare by $12-13.
Any intelligent adult already assumes that the expenses of transporting luggage is supposed to fact... more
