GovTrack: On the Amendment (Durbin Amdt. No. 1014 )
This list contains the names of US Senators and how they voted on the Bankruptcy Bill pertaining to homeowners and foreclosures. Please note that the Bill to protect consumers was defeated.
It is no secret that these senators, both Democrats and Republicans, have the interests of the mortgage and banking industries at heart and not that of the consumers.

Limbaugh To Specter: Take McCain And His Daughter With You
It is clear that Rush Limbaugh and his ilk, including Malkin, Beck, Hannity and those in between, are just transforming the GOP into a political party that will only appeal to one segment of the population: white southerners. That is assuming that Malkin would be accepted. But I digress.

Arlen Specter Switching Parties From Republican To Democrat
I do not know what the big deal is. I am sure Michael Steele will claim that this is all part of his "strategy"-- whatever that means.

Chemistry and Relationships
Chemistry and relationships-- a topic that haunts us those seeking to find, build, develop and maintain a meaningful and deep relationship with the one. But do we know the true meaning of chemistry?
I recently came across an article written by Toni Coleman, LCSW, in which she points out that we, human beings, tend to confuse romantic love with great sex. Yeah, that sex that makes our body sweaty, tingle with excitement, our toes curl and explode in a great orgasm (actually, my interpretation... but you get the point) We confuse the two because we are missing spiritual affinity.
Toni tells us that spiritual affinity is " the hidden element of chemistry. It's when two beings meet and connect on a deeper level. It can only be felt in the heart and soul. It's about friendship, respect, humor and the feelings of warmth and contentment that come when you are in his/her presence.'"
Let us not fool ourselves into believing that spiritual affinity, as Toni says, is immediate. It happens over time as more contacts between the interested parties happen. It eventually leads to develop relationships based on trust, commitment, comfort and friendship.

Minnesota Senate Poll: Most Voters Want Coleman To Quit
Even though Minnesota voters wish for Coleman to quit, the question that remains is: Will he?
It is doubtful that he will given the fact that time and money invested in this quest. But stay tuned!

Rick Perry, After Raising Secession, Calls For Fed Help With Swine Flu
His stand on secession and now his call for help from the Federal Government would make a great campaign or general ad calling out his hypocrisy.

Greg Mitchell: U.S. Soldier Killed Herself -- After Refusing to Take Part in Torture
As you read this article, please set aside all your pre-conceived notions or ideas. This is not about your agreement or disagreement on what constitutes torture. To me personally, it gives us an insight into someone's soul and constant struggle with her duty.
Please note that this is a two-part article.

Do you believe it is appropriate for any churches to dictate or direct how their parishioners should vote at election time?
Have churches become a political vehicle or arm for some politicians or political parties?

Weird
We humans being are just strange. When we find ourselves alone, we complain about it, wishing to find and meet someone special. But when we do, there is a feeling of being smothered, of being suffocated and no room to breathe. This leads us to get that desire of being alone again. Why is that? Why are we never, ever happy with what's given and handed to us?

How can you say that homosexuality is a threat to national security? Well, that is what the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) claims in the latest video. The above piece written by Frank Rich takes NOM to task in saying that "what gives the ad its symbolic significance is not just that it’s idiotic but that its release was the only loud protest anywhere in America to the news that same-sex marriage had been legalized in Iowa and Vermont. If it advances any message, it’s mainly that homophobic activism is ever more depopulated and isolated as well as brain-dead."

Boehner Cites Cow Farts To Downplay Global Warming (VIDEO)
Boehner Cites Cow Farts To Downplay Global Warming (VIDEO)
Folks, I do not know what to say. The more the Republican leaders open their mouths, the more ridiculous and absurd they look and sound. They have become the Party of NO, the Obstructionist Party and clearly only speak for corporate interests. They do not have the interests of the middle and lower classes at heart. They never have and never will.
Congressman Boehner and his ilk should get out of the way if they are not willing to help fix the mess that their leader created.
Kids, this is what happens when you spend way too much time in a tanning booth.

Big Oil Knocks Wal-Mart Out of First Place
Fortune-500: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance
Does this surprise anyone? It does not surprise me. It is so weird, pathetic and angering that even though the price of barrel of oil has dropped considerably, the price of retail gas has not. Folks, there is something intrinsically wrong here. And yet, our government has not addressed this issue. What is even more disturbing is the fact that we consumers have stayed quiet. Why?

South Africa's Battle with Crime
BBC NEWS | Programmes | From Our Own Correspondent | South Africa's battle with crime
As the 2010 World Cup approaches, it is worth asking whether or not South Africa is up to the task of hosting the Cup given the current crime situation. When this issue was first brought up, South African and FIFA officials caused an uproar in dismissing people's concerns. Nevertheless, these concerns remain well and alive and cannot be out rightly ignored.
