"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."--Winston Churchill How you can personally stop Bush's tax cut By George Baumler Some of my in-laws have opined as to how they were opposed to President Bush's proposed tax cut and how stupid Bush is. In all fairness, to call Bush stupid in the parlance of that clan is akin to saying, " Nice weather isn't it". Not that it's supposed to mean anything profound; it's just a good old ad hominem attack on a Republican.

Rebecca Jackson, Republican candidate for KY governor, is making some firm commitments in her campaign literature that should be impressive to those who support individual liberty.

They look straight ahead, seemingly at us viewers, and tell us what is happening.

They’d stayed in Boston for almost a week, busking for their bread. Andwan’s tambourines, it turned out, had been painted green---she’d evidently been suffering from a bout of mania for the Beetles when she’d been preparing for the trip and had remembered their song, Green Tambourine.

"It is easy to think the State has a lot of different objects -- military, political, economic, and what not. But in a way things are much simpler than that. The State exists simply to promote and to protect the ordinary happiness of human beings in this life. A husband and wife chatting over a fire, a couple of friends having a game of darts in a pub, a man reading a book in his own room or digging in his own garden -- that is what the State is there for. And unless they are helping to increase and prolong and protect such moments, all the laws, parliaments, armies, courts, police, economics, etc., are simply a waste of time." --C.S. Lewis
