| 92 | Eurovision Song Contest - End this Embarassment Preview: Tonight I resigned myself to the fact that this is the last Eurovision Song Contest I shall ever watch. In fairness the only reason I did watch it was due to media reports mentioning that steps had been taken to try and mitigate the blatant vote rigging that takes place each time the contest is aired. I should have known better. I suppose the ear... (more) Published By: Birmingham UK Com Submitted: 21 May,2005 |

And it seems like every couple weeks I become less and less of a fan of his even being in the Republican Party. Today, I am to the point of publicly asking Senator McCain to just make it official and turn the (R) next to his name into a (D). PLEASE! Enough with the charade! Campaign Finance...

I don’t know if his bit of insight was meant to be a compliment or a mere observation. Either way, I suppose there are others more deserving. For his part, Charlie is a declared atheist. And, therein lays a dilemma for some libertarians. How ca... (more) Published By: Kenn Gividen Submitted: 11 April,2005 |
