Great News Sentinel

The KNS has a great new look.

You’re a nuther ‘un!

Hildegard shows us today (via SouthKnoxBubba) that all it takes to be a good liberal these days is a great deal of hatred and fair four-letter-word vocabulary with which to insult people. Ideas and the arguments that support them is so 18th century. (See the United States Constitution and Declaration of Independence.)
Much more important to the left is whether you have the ability to tell by what someone drives, how they look, or what they watch what kind of $#@’ing, *&%^, Fox watching, @*$!, idiot they are and the courage to tell them. Thank God we have Hildegard to tell us what the hell is wrong with people!

A peek into the minds of greatness...

Arianna Huffington is getting on the blog wagon by launching a group blog with many of her celebrity friends. The Guardian has a great preview.

Salute!

Thanks to Brian Tankersley CPA, CITP who has helped me with a CPU in my hour of technological need.

Home, Home on the Range

"Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam.." Some people take their music a little too literally.

McKays!

McKay's Bookstore is reopening in its new store Saturday. McKay's is where we go for all our post grade card rewards and summer reading festivals. Clara Grace's latest academic achievement is bound to mean more Little House at our house.

Kudos to the ‘Boro

At this pace, Murfreesboro won't be a hamlet much longer.

Sweet Oblivion

Paul Krugman writes today in the New York Times that President Bush is out of touch with average Americans on issue after issue.

"Since November's election, the victors have managed to be on the wrong side of
public opinion on one issue after another: the economy, Social Security
privatization, Terri Schiavo, Tom DeLay. By large margins, Americans say that
the country is headed in the wrong direction, and Mr. Bush is the least popular
second-term president on record."

Krugman then enlightens us on how Americans really feel.

"But Americans are feeling a sense of dread: they're worried about a weak job
market, soaring health care costs, rising oil prices and a war that seems to
have no end. And they're starting to notice that nobody in power is even trying
to deal with these problems, because the people in charge are too busy catering
to a base that has other priorities."

Krugman shows us why the democrats lost power in two out three branches of government. They believe in nothing but polls. When Osama Ben Laden released a tape one week before the presidential election John Kerry actually took a poll to find out what he should say about it! The other guiding principle of Krugman and his army of pollsters is taken straight from the Chicken Little Political Handbook - "No matter the issue, the sky is falling."

Since Krugman and the left are so firmly ensconced in polls I'm sure they want to honor the American people, who when polled this past November chose to give control of the executive and legislative branches of government to the Republicans, by taking a poll in the Senate on the president's judicial nominees. But then again, maybe there not really true believers in polls or the American people after all.

You Gotta have Faith! or Faith?

Michael Barone has a great piece on the role of faith in America's future. Despite the ravings of the left that we are doomed for a theocracy, Barone sees continued freedom and a diversity of faiths in our future.

Preach it brother!

Much has been written about the Pope in the last week. MSNBC and the Discovery Channel have both had excellent overviews of the pope's life. The thing that amazes me the most about the Pope is that in every instance he chose compassion, and yet at the same time he never backed down. He faced the two greatest evil empires of the 20th century, (the Nazi's and the USSR) and he never even blinked. So rarely in life do you get to say I truly witnessed a man of God. All too often their faith is overshadowed by the mistakes of their humanity. Pope John Paul II is a man of God. I have no idea who said it, but the best description of the Pope since his passing has been a very simple one:He lived. He believed. He lived his belief. St. Frances said "Preach daily, use words if necessary." The Pope preached everyday all day.
