Cheap shot Glace, but then that's all I've come to expect from you.
It never fails to amaze me how bitter some of you are when it comes to socialism, while at the same time being so eager to turn our country and our freedom over to multinational corporations.
My experiences with Yukonjohn lead me to believe his opinions are based on a strict interpretation of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. When considered in that light his comments make perfect sense. The current administration has made a mockery of both documents.

I'm happy to agree with YukonJohn on this issue. The Republican party is the party of corruption. The Republican party has done more damage to our rights as Americans, our freedoms as Americans, and, frankly our pocket books as Americans than Osama Bin Ladin ever accomplished.
Thanks to the Republican Party, we're now involved in an illegal war. Our national deficit is skyrocketing, while the huge multinational corporations like Exxon and KBR are making record profits. Our government is routinely spying on our own citizens and the decree of our Founding Fathers that "People are innocent until proven guilty." is completely ignored. Torture has become the American way as has a complete lack or regard for our environment.
To be fair I'm not terribly happy with Democrats either.
Voting for a Democrat now is like sawing off my own foot. Voting for a Republican is like cutting off my genitals and cutting out my own brain.

Jimmie Hoffa Update!
A source close to the Army, who asked not to be identified because he was living in a tent on Army land, eating the local mushrooms, and hallucinating steadily, has told us that Jimmie Hoffa's body has refused to answer questions posed by Army Authorities. It's been decided that the body will soon be shipped to Gitmo for further interrogation.
President Bush could not be reached, but a spokesman, who asked not to be identified because he doesn't know the President and has no connection whatsoever with the government, nevertheless commented with "Jimmie Who?"
Attorneys for Jimmie Hoffa's body have filed an injunction to keep the body from being extradited until they have sobered up enough to contact their client.
Stay tuned for further developments.

Jimmie Hoffa's body was found by Army Engineers while clearing driftwood from the Moose Creek Damn.
"He looks a bit wrinkled but still in good shape," an anonymous engineer was quoted as saying. "I don't think he'll burn well though."
The body will be interviewed tomorrow in this very column.

Republican equals corruption. It's been proven on the presidential level. It's been proven in the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. It's been proven by our own Republican senator. As long as the Republican party continues to favor big corporations, big government (we now have the biggest deficit in American history) and ignore the middle class, the people will suffer.
Okay, I'll admit it. We have an awful lot of democrats that aren't much better.

This is an abysmally poor response by the legislature and once again shows that too many of our elected officials have more desire to line their own pockets rather than make any real difference for the people to put them into office.
I propose we need a new special session to get rid of these sluggards. Let them eat cake in the unemployment line.
I'm disgusted.

Hi AKBEAR,
I can understand your confusion. But you have to remember, this was a failure on the Presidential level, the Congressional Level, that our Journalists and news gatherers also, for the most part, failed us, and that through 9/11, Osama bin Ladin virtuously handed our government a carte-blanch card to do anything they wanted.
I could recommend some websites, but, unfortunately I'm Libby Scum, and a member of the Socio Liberal Mob that's based out of Moscow. I may be a radical. I don't feel like a radical, however, but growing up, I felt like I lived in a country where Justice, Tolerance, and even The American Way meant something positive.
Hopefully, someone with a level head can help you out.
Hey Calender, Clinton was no prize either, especially with his flip-flop on dealing with Red China. But, if I may be blunt: He only screwed Monika Lewinsky. Bush screwed us all.
Peace!

Gosh Reb,
I'm sorry you're feeling ill. Know what makes me sick? 659,113 NEEDLESS deaths.
It's one thing to make mistakes. You make them, I make them, and Bush is certainly entitled to make some. But this wasn't a mistake, it was a deliberate falsification for corporate profits. There's a big difference then in making a mistake and a criminal action.
Had Bush done what he said he would do, had he taken out Bin Ladin and ended the Talibon I might be cheering too. Instead, he's trying to find ways to get us into yet another war with Iran.
Personally, I'd make a lousy president. But then again, the corporations pulling the strings would never allow me to be elected.
Hope you get to feeling better. Perhaps you should go to be early tonight.

I have worked with young people from various local schools as well as young people from both Wainwright and Eielson. It saddens me, but in too many cases we as a country have raised a number of pathetic losers who think wearing their pants around their knees and clutching a gun in their hands is all it takes to be a man or a woman.
Sadly, I don't believe this is simply a military problem. I've met far too many little idiots who grew up locally. We need more police, more troopers, and most of all, more parents who get involved with their little boys and little girls (no way will I call them Men or Women). But when the parents endorse this sort of lifestyle their little cretins are doomed.
Listen to the music your kid listens to. Look at the way your kid dresses when he leaves the house. There's an old saying: Show me who you run with and I'll show you who you are. PARENTS, WAKE UP!
