Experts: Polonium is deadly if ingestedReally??? I never would have thought a radioactive element was bad to eat?!?!Polonium-210 has a half-life of 138 days, and it decays to stable lead-206 by emitting an alpha particle. One-thousandth of a gram (1 mg) of polonium-210 emits as many alpha particles as 5 g of radium-226. The energy released by its decay is so large (140 watts/g) that a capsule containing about half a gram reaches a temperature above...

Just so that we can be clear, Loophole is defined as “an ambiguity or omission in the text through which the intent of a statute, contract, or obligation may be evaded.”(www.m-w.com)That being said State Senator Jon Erpenbach is calling for a HUGE tax increase that will affect every Wisconsinite.Here is his logic: the state sales tax law has provisions in it that exempt certain types of goods and services from being taxed. Many of the exemptions were made due to some interest group petitioning...

It has become big news now! The city of Racine is under fire from a Madison based anti-religious group, Freedom from Religion Foundation, about Racine allowing the display of a nativity scene on public land. (JT Article here)It is rather funny when you go to wacky organizations like this and see that they actually have outlandish claims right on their home page such as:“promote freethought and defend the constitutional principle of the separation of state and church.”Um…the Constitution states...

You know its funny just 4 short years ago all we heard about was how the Republicans were going to reinstate the draft. I spent a lot of time writing to the liberal media outlets that kept stating this lie pointing out that the only people calling for a reinstatement of the draft were liberals in congress.Every response I got from these outlets kept pointing to sources inside of the Selective Service System that were seeking for increases to their...

Did anyone else see Comic Relief Saturday night?I enjoyed most of the show until the Bush bashing really started. Billy Crystal did a great skit in which he portrayed an old musician displaced by Katrina but during the skit he asked “how America could forget a city?” Continuing the skit he asks “why it took the President 5 days to come to New Orleans but since it took Cheney 2 days to tell us that he shot his friend, what is 3 more days?” In the skit he asked the Mr. Bush to “stop your war for...

The Christian Science Monitor has the following Op-Ed by Nancy herself:Democrats will not disappointIn her article she states the Democrats “agenda for change” which includes the following:Make America safer by implementing the recommendations of the 9/11 commission.

Those of us on the Right are disheartened to lose on Tuesday but what if you were this guy (article here) and your spouse had to ask if you voted for yourself because you lost the race and receive ZERO votes!What would you do in his situatio...

We all heard it…Russ Feingold has announced that he will not seek the Democratic nomination for the Presidency in 2008.A question needs to be asked though…is this really a good thing?For all of Russ’s faults (being a left-wing wacko for starters) he is an honest man. He typifies what the American public says that they are looking for in a President. Russ states what he believes and acts in the same fashion. I have not found an instance where he has “voted for it before (he) voted against it.”The...

Check out this Op-Ed in the...
