The topic of the day today is Intelligent Design (ID). Proponents of this philosophy are trying to get it included into school curriculum under the "science" heading. However, at the root ID is not a science, but rather a convenient means to fill in the gaps in current scientific knowledge...oh yeah, and a way to sneak God into school as well ( ( Read more... )

So let's start out by saying that Bush has stated on several occasions that it would be "intolerable" to allow Iran to gain nuclear weapons. When he was interviewed by Bill O'Reilly prior to the election, Bush agreed that if Iran were to acquire such weapons, it would be "a failure" of U.S. foreign policy. He also said that there would be "no ( Read more... )

There has been widespread discussion about those who have been classified as "undecided" with regard to the upcoming election. If you were unfamiliar with what that word meant and heard some of these discussions, you might be inclined to think "undecided" means "morally bankrupt and dim-witted".

People make their Presidential selections often for silly reasons. Who looks the best, who makes you laugh, which college they went to, etc. None of those factors amount to much in the way of Presidential potential, and yet facts like these sometimes make the decision, or at the least become the tie breaker.

A report out today from the British Parliament warns that Afghanistan could, "implode with terrible consequences" unless more troops are sent to quell the mounting violence in that country. I have stipulated all along that the war on terror was best served by remaining in Afghanistan to finish what was begun, rather than by diverting our focus on ( Read more... )

I’ve seen a lot of interesting things transpire over the past month since I’ve posted. I thought I’d take a moment to point out what I find to be the latest in the string of Republican hypocrisies.

1) On the one hand, the Republicans preach that they are about family values and being the only ones who apparently know right from wrong. They ( Read more... )

George Tenet resigned as the head of the CIA last week, but it is widely believed that this was not a decision that he made, as much as it was a request from the President. For the sake of fair play, I'll discuss the merits of this belief, but then I want to discuss with you what this means about the President and what it may mean for the rest of ( Read more... )

The Virginia General Assembly passed a law April 21 banning all contracts between partners in homosexual relationships. Not just marriage, all contracts.

It has occurred to me that at some point Bush will have to explain the lack of WMD's in Iraq. While everyone seems to have written off the possibility that the WMD's will be located, you still occasionally hear from the Bush administration that "they may still be found in Iraq." However, by my way of thinking, the ongoing race for the Presidency ( Read more... )
