QUOTE OF THE DAY!! From the Bellingham Herald, "Centrist Republicans may offer flexibility": In a heavily Republican district just to the east, stretching from the Sierra foothills to the shores of Lake Tahoe, the six-candidate field is dominated by a battle between former GOP Assemblyman Rico Oller and Republican Madera County Supervisor Frank Bigelow, who has also refused to sign the [no tax increase] pledge.

Ayn Rand created a cult around her very strange personality. Like L. Ron Hubbard, she manipulated the use of her novels into a way of controlling the lives of those around her. From the grave, like some demonic harpy out to destroy the United States, she still does. If you were to ask The Pink Flamingo to name one author whose books should be given a Triple-X rating and hidden with the worst degrading pornography (of the intellect) it would be Ayn Rand. No one under the age of twenty- one...Read Full Story
