I for one do not want to go to bed by the light of a commuhnist moon

But I might now have a choice.

Right-brained or left-brained?

Which is it, Daniel?

Futristic cars

I want one of these.

Mind you, I don't want one of those "censors" looking at my face, though.

Demographics are fascinating

Or is that "demographics is fascinating"?

Whatever.

The president is a liar

or has been lied to and doesn't know it. Either way, he's not right about the children's insurance deal (I know: you're shocked).

From the McClatchy newspaper group:

President Bush claims that the bipartisan bill to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program "would result in taking a program meant to help poor children and turning it into one that covers children in households with incomes up to $83,000 a year."

That's not true.

The bill maintains current law. It limits the program to children from families with incomes up to twice the federal poverty level — now $20,650 for a family of four, for a program limit of $41,300 — or to 50 percentage points above a state's Medicaid eligibility threshold, which varies state to state.

States that want to increase eligibility beyond those limits would require approval from Bush's Health and Human Services Department, just as they must win waivers now. The HHS recently denied a request by New York to increase its income threshold to four times the poverty level — the $82,600 figure that Republican opponents of the bill are using.

I guess fundamentalist Christians won't understand why this sickens me

Candidates for governor of Kentucky are trying to out-God each other. I'm worried that we'll have a touch of this in the presidential race, too.

Marijuana is a vital part of the farm economy

Why do they even pretend that they want to eliminate marijuana production in the US? It would be an economic disaster. Seriously.

Captial punishement and the science fiction universe

We execute a lot of people in this country, compared to the rest of the civilized world. But, as you may have noticed, China executes a lot more people. Not just in head count, but in per capita counting.

Did you know that the Chinese, until now, used organs harvested from inmates on death row for transplants?

Can we all say "organlegging"?
