Galactic Government
By Jeff Zervas
These
days it seems, almost everyone wants to nurse at the breast of big government.
Even �right wingers,� �conservatives,� and Republicans have devolved so far
towards socialism that they crave their security blankets just as their
�opposites� cry for the nipple. Either way, nowadays big government is on the
menu, front, back, up, down, right, left and center.

A pre-dawn Christmas morning fish tale: Bashing Bush is more fun than baitin' bass
By Sheila Samples
I have a cold. And I got it the only way I know how to
do things -- the hard way. On Christmas Eve, I decided I'd give myself a
present. I had this bright idea to get a head start on the new year by testing
the strength of the Equal Rights Amendment -- you know, the ERA, the free pass
that enterprising women have used for years to back stubborn men into corners .

Getting caught with your pants down may be costly
By Bev Conover
Forget all that wimpy stuff about illegal wars, a
crumbling economy and unelected madmen in the White House, we've got more
important stuff to deal with: boxer shorts peeking above baggy pants and
thongs.

Potter at the trough
By Michael Silverstein
As a professional writer, I'm naturally impressed by
large book sale numbers. And nothing has ever been as impressive as first day
sales of the new Harry Potter book, $72 million worldwide, $8 million in the
United States alone.

Don�t even start calling things Bushian
By Mark Drolette
I�m sick of lefties snidely comparing the grim
totalitarian society of George Orwell�s 1984
to today�s freedom-spewing United
States, a country few Americans would dare call dystopian, even if they could define it. The following analysis
exposes these aspersions as utterly specious.

Poll results reveal contradictions: Who pays for poll may make difference
By Frank Scott
Recent poll results give conflicting images of the
American public, sometimes causing authorities from the world of science and
religion considerable confusion. But recent studies sponsored by the Center for
the Study of Centers reveal that striking and even shocking differences in
polling results seem to be based on who pays for the survey.
