I am always amused by the 11th-hour hijinks of an unpopular outgoing President, like George W. Bush. It seems as though these guys think they can erase 7 years and 11 months of bad policy and poor leadership in the last...

spokesman Preach on, Sister. You earned a best response, and I don't care if it's the only one. You are so right about the economy issue. I always laugh when Bush blames the economy on the previous administration (who booked the best economy of the last 100 years)....

spokesman Oh, you can do a link in a back-door kind of way. Just make visiting websites one of your interests and add that website to the ones you visit. It will create an interest for you for that website. Post away.

First, the obligatory disclaimer: This post is in no way meant to point a finger at any specific MyLot user. It is simply an opinion. Perhaps some of the MyLot faithful should invest some of their earnings in literacy...

spokesman If you were to have paid close attention to my post you would have noticed the disclaimer at the very beginning, put there in anticipation of a response like this one. Nice try. By the way, my MyLot friends, it's pretty easy to distinguish between errors...

Won't it be a generalization if I say "men hate shopping"? I am a woman, and I hate shopping, and I have heard that women are supposed to be fond of shopping. In fact, I go shopping only when I am forced to, and even then, I can't...

Yes, it is true. In Canada, those silly wacky fun Canadians have published an article debunking man made global warming. Why, what is wrong with those silly gooses? http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/4511 More...

spokesman I appreciate your intelligent posts. We need more of that on MyLot. Unfortunately, I cannot agree with your opinion of conservatives. Every one that I personally know cares about little more than their own well-being. When you begin to talk about issues...

spokesman Oh, don't get me started on the drive-thru. Too late. I think the drive-thru should be just like the express lane at the grocery store: 10 items or less, cash only. Why is it that every time I'm 5 minutes late to work and stop at McDonalds for a coffee,...

I, like quite a few others my age, probably first associated actor Charlton Heston with Moses. I remember The Ten Commandments coming on ABC every year around Easter. Of course, I had seen him in other things like Planet Of The...

spokesman So true. To me, banning a book by Judy Blume seems absurd. If you don't want your daughter reading about a girl who gets her period or whatever, well, I don't even know how to respond to that. I think sometimes we as parents are threatened by what's out there...

spokesman Stephen King gave a lecture in Virginia some years ago and told students that they should find out which books had been banned and run, not walk, to their local bookstore and buy those very books. On the issue of parenting I certainly agree that parents...
