Watch out, nation! Neitzel, Spartans playing best basketball of the season





"Neitzel hit a ridiculous three-pointer on which he ran to the right corner, caught a pass, turned and fired. It's hard to explain just how difficult that is, but I will try: Imagine a figure skater doing a triple axel while juggling."

RightCuz: Bush vs Gore round II - An inconvenient Truth

RightCuz: Bush vs Gore round II - An inconvenient Truth

RightMichigan.com || Keeping Michigan in the Dark: What do the House Democrats have to hide?

RightMichigan.com Keeping Michigan in the Dark: What do the House Democrats have to hide?: "Yesterday Attorney General Mike Cox joined House Republicans in calling on Andy Dillon and his tax-hike caucus to give Republican 'sunshine' legislation an up or down vote on the floor of the House. Bills were drafted last year and have been languishing in committee ever since without so much as a hearing.
Simply put, the legislation would put all state government spending on a publicly accessible web site. When the Dems tell us they need more of our cash it only stands to reason that they explain precisely where it's going and why."

Clinton ally calls Richardson "Judas"


So nice to see Mrs Bill is surrounded by such sensitive folks.
Richardson Backs Obama
“An act of betrayal,” said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton.
“Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic,” Mr. Carville said, referring to Holy Week."

Taking Christ out of Christianity


Why go to a "Christian" church if you don't want Christ?
No wonder "churches" are in trouble.

"That triumphal barnburner of an Easter hymn, Jesus Christ Has Risen Today - Hallelujah, this morning will rock the walls of Toronto's West Hill United Church as it will in most Christian churches across the country.
But at West Hill on the faith's holiest day, it will be done with a huge difference. The words 'Jesus Christ' will be excised from what the congregation sings and replaced with 'Glorious hope.'"

Climate facts to warm to


"Hockey stick"?
What Hockey stick"?

We've got the liberal media to lie for us.....
Climate facts to warm to
"actually, there has been cooling, if you take 1998 as your point of reference. If you take 2002 as your point of reference, then temperatures have plateaued. This is certainly not what you'd expect if carbon dioxide is driving temperature because carbon dioxide levels have been increasing but temperatures have actually been coming down over the last 10 years.'"

It Just Wouldn’t Be Easter without Peeps


It Just Wouldn’t Be Easter American Princess:
"It Just Wouldn’t Be Easter …without Peeps.

K12 Reformer - Mike Reno: Perhaps “Rubber Stamping” should be a crime too!

K12 Reformer - Mike Reno: Perhaps “Rubber Stamping” should be a crime too!: "According to the article, he did this at least 40 times, based on the 40 phony invoices found in his house. That would average $57,500 per invoice, which is a spending level that would – or should – include some approval/oversight at the school board level.

I’d bet that there were 40 instances were there was a unanimous round of seven AYE votes approving those fraudulent purchases, or the invoices. There’s a good chance that not one single question was asked before each of the 40 approvals."

Pregnant Mother, Tortured, Dies in Ill.


Faces of evil.


I actually cried when I read this horrific and sad story.


Pregnant Mother, Tortured, Dies in Ill.: "Banished to the basement, the 29-year-old mother with a childlike mind and another baby on the way had little more than a thin rug and a mattress to call her own on the chilly concrete floor.
Dorothy Dixon ate what she could forage from the refrigerator upstairs, where housemates used her for target practice with BBs, burned her with a glue gun and doused her with scalding liquid that peeled away her skin."
