How about the election process?

This is how the election process works.

Sharp and sophisticated people

Courts and equality?

Here's an article on what some of our circuit courts have been ruling.

I like this lady's style. Not a bad cause, not at all!

George Bush isn't that fond of us, either!

There's a miniature one of these in my mom's house! Not quite as fire retardent... People always try to get Sweden's goat!

Who says the French have no sense of humor?

I find THIS disturbing, grotesque. Is the premeditated conspiracy to kill this man going to raise the dead? Will this be "mission accomplished" again?

A little further down the line, perhaps.
I'd love to work for a truly "fair and balanced" network such as Al-Jazeera.

The Whittier Daily News has clearly been printing lies!
This morning's paper claimed that Whittier received only .14 inches of rain last night. However, here at Peterson labs we measured a reading much higher: .55 inches.
Here's Doris taking the official reading!

The folks at Whittier Daily News are decidedly not taking their job seriously.

Remingtons Volunteer at an Ohio Polling Place

[As reported to Cindi, and shared here...]

Yesterday, Richard and Jane got up about 4:50AM, dressed, had breakfast and coffee and were off to the voting booth by 6:00 AM. The polls opened at 6:30AM and were open until 7:30 PM. We rushed home for a crock-pot heated bowl of chili, orange-carrot-pineapple salad, and then back to the voting booth all in 45 minutes. [Lunch] We did not even have a [bathroom] break until the polls closed. We had the hugest turnout ever! Most of the races were disappointing to me. Stopped for a cheeseburger which we brought home, ate, showered and hit the bed. We were VERY tired. But made it through!

[Proud of you, Mom and Dad, for being involved citizens. Where do you get the energy? The cheeseburger or the orange-carrot-pineapple salad?]
