Parents Are the Solution to Kids Dying at the Hands of China, Feds, Toy Companies
(6 comments) How many more children will die at the hands of China, the Feds and U.S. toy companies before outrage kicks in and something is done about it? The "Big Three" won't do it, but parents CAN!!! It's time for some tough toy love on the part of parents who have the power to boycott all foreign-made toys and cancel holiday gift-giving.

Do Unto Others: Thank You Mr. Anonymous, a Man With Christian Values
(12 comments) Our leaders would be well advised to take a lesson from Mr. Anonymous. There are still a few people out there who don't lie to us; will do what they say they're going to do; and, will take time out of their busy day to do a kindness for a stranger and asked nothing in return. A very Christian thing to do.

Bush the Compassionate Conservative. Never Was, Never Will Be, Just Ask the Kids
(5 comments) Compassionate Conservative. What a joke! The Jokester-in-Chief wants to cut spending on the backs of children's health care. The adolescent president dressed in a man's clothing, and who lets off stink bombs in public to see what kind of reaction he'll get from the newbies on the block is neither funny, nor compassionate.

Cable News Should Cool Its Weather Coverage
The Weather Channel is not quite as guilty of hyping severe weather as the cable news networks. They do it, too, but not as a matter of course. After all, weather is their business, and we expect them to have 24/7 weather, whether or not there is any other news.

CNBC's Burnett Atones for Toxic Toy Remarks, Almost
(2 comments) Never apologizing for what she said about toxic toys, Erin Burnett softened her statements about toxic toys from China. She told an awful truth about the stark realities of our trade policies with the Chinese in a pitiless manner. A little anger at both the American and Chinese governments would have helped her case.

So What If Bush Has 561 Days Left: Start Impeachment Now
(4 comments) Among those counting down the remaining days of the Bush regime are Keith Olbermann and Bill Press, who continually remind us that the end of his tyrannical rule is near. Or is it?

High Crime Pays! Big Time and No Time
George Bush took the July 4th week, with all the journalists on vacation, to declare independence for Scooter Libby. The All-Branches-In-One-In-Chief didn't even have the courage to face the nation, but chose to do it through a press release. At the very least he could have announced it from the Supreme Court steps with a banner behind him saying "Mission Accomplished: Justice Trumped."

Calling All Czars
Stephen J. Hadley, George Bush's national security adviser, says he doesn't have star power, of, let's say, a Simon Cowell, to go places and influence people, so he has launched his own search for an "idol" to be the Iraq War Czar with "star power." So far the response has been a resounding...nyet!

O'Reilly: V-Tech a Nation-changing Event...Not!
It's never too late to talk about the ramifications of the Virginia Tech massacre and how to avoid another similar occurrence, if at all possible. "If at all possible" are the operative words, because when dealing with the "human factor", nothing is predictable or preventable.

(1 comments) Cynical, albeit disgusted, view of legislators who just can't stop themselves from passing feel-good laws. In other word, they seem to know what's better for us than we do, and they sidetrack us with these non-issues because it's easy and they're lazy.
