- This is disappointing. Woody's clearly had a fixation for young women, and his wife was pretty darned young when he and Mia adopted her. I'd guess that Woody had a woody more than once thinking about his adopted daughter.

Mon Sep 28, 2009
- I can personally attest to the fact that many right wingers ARE buying as many guns as they can afford. They're buying multiple semi-automatic hand guns and rifles, shotguns, and mucho munitions. It is apparent to me that the Right Wing WILL BE FAR BETTER ARMED THAN LEFT WINGERS.

I really enjoyed reading perspective on Jesse Jackson's political blunder but I think it is representative of what most white people think in America about being majority and having power but I also think that were are in at the same time a new era intellectually about what the White Man's Burden is it probably started with the Pat Buchanan's in Death of the West.

Gen xers and many other nations in our global economic village will reshape our understanding of economic and civic power, environment and future. They will also reduce our arrogance about race and leadership in the America to help us to see that we may not have have leadership at all doing what America was conceptually propagated to do constitutionally.
