One and one-half wondering Jews. Saturday, January 2, 2010. I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill. An incredibly hostile FAQ about healthcare reform (aka, HCR):. What is the key issue to remember when discussing HCR? That Congress is broken, and to the extent it works, it's generally to funnel money to the lawmakers themselves. Wait, what about HCR?

Hume said that given Woods problems, he "needs something that Christianity, especially, provides, and gives and offers.". As Steve Benen of the Washington Monthly points out.

One and one-half wondering Jews. Sunday, May 6, 2007. Man's best friend outside of a dog, 12: Running With Scissors, by Augusten Burroughs.

Let it be said, they have some really comfortable chairs, and are kind enough to not hassle people who spend hour after hour sitting there without any obvious purpose. Burroughs is a very bemused, surprisingly de...

One and one-half wondering Jews. Monday, January 4, 2010. I don't want the world, I just want your half. The strangest thing about US hegemony in the world isn't so much that some people support the idea, but rather that so few "respectable" people oppose it. Recent estimates of world military spending attribute over 40% of the world's total military spending. It's now to the point where we are spending on toys that can only be really used against our.

One and one-half wondering Jews. Sunday, January 3, 2010. I'm looking through you. I'm pretty sure that it's not the correct quote nor the meaning of the correct quote, but it is hard not to think these days that " the media is the message.
