Taking Back – New Design

Taking Back – New Design

I’ve gotten tired of my “mellow melon” colors, and have decided to “take back” the color red. I’m not letting the american neo-cons (or whatever they are) spoil a whole color for me! It’s still pretty much the same template, just stuck in new images. I’m still not sure about the color of the text area. I want it to be light and this is as close as I could get to what I was picturing. I’ve aged a bit…

More than Democrat or Republican

More than Democrat or Republican

WatchBlog: Political News, Opinion and Commentary Even when I used to spend a considerable amount of time reading the bible, I used a parallel one that showed (verse by verse) several different translations side by side. It helped. This is a great idea – wish they’d pick it up on network television and cable. There are three columns of news, each aligned with a perceived political affiliation.

White House Enacts a Plan to Ease Political Damage – New York Times

White House Enacts a Plan to Ease Political Damage – New York Times The plan? Blame the Democrats in New Orleans and Lousiana. I guess it’s silly to have thought for one moment that the propaganda machine wouldn’t come up with a damage-control plan. I hope the American people know better than to fall for this. A responsible government wouldn’t have done it in the first place – you’d think this might force some re-evaluation of their priorities. We can’t…

“Like” a third-world country?

“Like” a third-world country?
