I have a superb SPAM filter built into the e-mail provider I use customarily and ferocious protective software on my share of our&#8230;seven, is it, now?&#8230; computers, so I do not ever get advertisements for Viagra or cures for prostate cancer, neither of which would be of any use to me.

The idea behind the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights was to secure to citizens the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness by way of the sanctity of private property and the least possible foreign government.  The same is true of the Constitutions of [...]]]></description>

Question:  &#8220;What does Independence Day mean in 2010?&#8221;  Answer:  &#8220;Nothing in particular.&#8221;
Oh, still barbecues, incredibly expensive fireworks, lots of politicians ducking their constituents, probably a few more deaths along the drug cartel corridor&#8230;but&#8230;nothing of any significance. 
My most &#8220;patriotic&#8221; thought was that in a country where Thomas Jefferson and [...]]]></description>

After due consideration, about two seconds&#8217; worth, I have concluded that I am the best candidate to replace General McChrystal, and before you start patting my hand, making soothing noises, and wondering what the treatment for senile dementia is, consider my qualifications via the following imaginary interview.

Analysis ranges from what to do when your chemistry professor hands you a beaker with instructions to tell him what is in it by Friday to the sudden feeling mothers get that &#8220;it&#8217;s too quiet,&#8221; meaning they had better go find out what their children are up to.

Well, actually, we were all always racists because we can&#8217;t help it, back to the Big Bang.  It is probable that the Big Bang resulted because the Big Banger couldn&#8217;t stand the vacuous Bangee, and that the asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs because it hated dinosaurs or perhaps the earth or [...]]]></description>

Anger is not a problem-solving tool.  Anger will not choose a profitable stock, nor will it lead to peace in the Middle East.  Anger cannot reveal the identity of the &#8220;unknown&#8221; solution in your beaker in a chemistry lab, it cannot produce harmony in your marriage, and it has yet [...]]]></description>

Gee, I&#8217;m glad we had Memorial Day, although the media never mentioned it, and my frivolous thought is that you can now wear white shoes until Labor Day, although bone is always a more chic choice. 
We have our own version of Memorial Day most days here at the ranch, and I [...]]]></description>

    Actually, a few people do eat gold and silver after it has been pounded tissue-paper thin and used as a decorative touch on very costly confections.  In general, however those screeching about &#8220;barbarous relics&#8221; are quite correct that we cannot eat gold.  Where they err, as [...]]]></description>
