Fans come in several varieities depending on what they are a fan of. People can be aficionados of celebrities, sports athletes, wrestlers, science fiction, Japanese Otaku and video games. Wrestling is a pretend sport with "referees" who allow things that would get you thrown in jail in real sports. Star Trek is a science fiction fandom so big that it is considered a category all by itself. Science fiction fandom dates back to the Nineteen Thirties. Star Trek fandom started with the debut...

No, not the Mercury 7. What needs freeing is space itself. There should not be a government toll booth charging citizens and businesspeople wanting to visit space and live there or set up shop there if they are paying for or providing their own transportation. Last time we checked, NASA did not own the entire cosmos although it acts like it does. If anyone does own all of it, then that would be the Creator. Who would want to go into space? All that vast empty space. Who could possibly... Read Full Story

The Old Economy is collapsing. The New Economy is here. The few Old Economy jobs left are being exported. New Economy job openings require specialized training for low level positions and postgraduate school for high level positions. If such training is not provided to and such graduate schooling not funded for Americans, then foreign workers will come in to take the best jobs. This means both illegals from Mexico and engineers from India and China. Republicans have been so anti-education... Read Full Story

Senator John McCain, a Republican, accepts government's role in Social Security, accepts the fact of compulsory health insurance, and wants to tax both. This is socialized medicine. John McCain has gone from being a social conservative to being a conservative socialist. Richard Nixon, a Republican, sold out Free China to Red China. Ronald Reagan, a Republican, was once a union official before getting power as governor. As president, he stabbed unions in the back. This is a... Read Full Story

Senator John McCain is a terrorist. He accuses others to deflect and, he hopes, to prevent an investigation of himself. His criminal activity did not begin or end with the Keating Five. Hillary was correct that there is a vast conspiracy. McCain's education plan is to gut public schools because he thinks that only black children attend them. McCain's environmental plan is to destroy the ecology with dirty coal and oil in a mad quest to stop reversal of global warming. He won't... Read Full Story

No, you didn't stumble into a Tom Clancy novel but you may be stuck in a similar plot. If you do find yourself having to choose becoming an expatriate, shop for a new country the way you would make the most important financial or medical decision of your life. Kick the tires. Get a second and third opinion. Read books on other countries. There are about two hundred countries. Decide what is important to you. Social factors would include liberty and privacy. There are financial... Read Full Story

Go as far back in history as you can and the statistics tell the truth: Republicans kill babies. Whenever a Republican is in the White House, the abortion rates skyrocket. Whenever a Democrat is in the White House, abortions decline. If there were a long enough run of Democratic presidents, abortions would disappear altogether. That is the paradox: Pro-Life Republicans kill babies while Pro-Choice Democrats choose life. But it is not such a paradox really. Republicans just talk... Read Full Story
Published to Olympic Games
Why do we have to listen to Bob Costas every time NBC covers the Olympics whine about all the other countries: Why do we have to have all these countries? Most will never win a medal. Why can't they just hand over all the metal to the USA and play the national anthem so we can go home?
He misses the point of the games and it’s not about medals for everyone like the Special Olympics; it’s about goodwill, peace, sportsmanship, participation, you know, all those liberal values.

No, we must not.
It is surprising that the McCain camp didn't grant the first post-Rove coaching interview with Hannity of Fox "News". The buzz is that the McCain camp figured that ABC, in the person of Charlie Gibson, would go easy on Ms. Palin. They were right. The best Gibson could do is channel Dabney Coleman in "Working 9 to 5" with Sarah Palin as Dolly Parton threatening him with her various weapons.
Hannity is expected to be worshipful and kiss various parts of anatomy including her... Read Full Story

No. We can't. The Republicans are proud of Sarah Palin former beauty queen and superwoman who can juggle governorship, children, and field dressing and gut piling moose as fast as she shoots them. I don't know if she can 'rassle' a polar 'bar' like Davy Crockett but I wouldn't bet on the bear. She went into labor during a committee meeting and came back from the hospital in time to finish her part of the work. She breast fed a baby while talking on the phone to the Alaska National Guard.
