While I can't write quite as eloquently as Jim, I think a brief post regarding a recent Supreme Court decision is required, and I'll let Jim expand with his thoughts. Recently, a case went to the Supreme Court in which a city wished to uproot a good number of people from their homes in order to then turn the property over to a private developer. Their reasoning is that the developer's planned hotel would bring in more taxes than the homes thereby ... Read More

Hello Jim, I'm Jenny from It's All Greek To Me First of all your joke was reall really good !! And because of that I will share with you 3 quick blonde jokes (yeah I'm a brunette lol) A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely if he could see her license.

Kennedy Jr. that lays out the link between a mercury-based (yes, mercury) preservative used in vaccines called thimerosal and developmental brain disorders such as autism, and the huge cover-up of CDC study data involving this link. "All of the ... Read More

I just want to start this rant by saying that I can completely sympathize with this man. I don't object to this per se. There is something that I do object to, though. First of all some introduction. A brain-dead woman is being kept on life support in hopes that her 21-week-old fetus survives, and the woman's husband said he is certain that's what she would have wanted.

I finally have the internet again after nine excruciating days. Over that time I have been up to a bit. First of all, I moved. Second of all, I'm playing my guitar again after a hiatus of over a year, and I'm loving it. I'm nearly finished Richard Clarke's book.
