He is one of the dirtiest politicians in the country. He is in cahoots with Toyota in their move from California to Tennessee. The timing of the move is AFTER the election in June,2006. He is getting big bucks from the state for making this move happen. Coincidence - I think not. I have a cousin who works for Toyota so I know the scoop. a concerned U.S citizen ************ Phil Bredesen needs to be more than just mindful of the kind of people he pays to represent his campaign and the tactics they use.

It says exactly what I feel in a lot of ways. It speaks to the fact that all these innocent youth are blowing themselves up in the name of Mohammed, and that millions of people are fighting and restricting free speech because of a religious obsession probably/possibly misinterpreting a person that was not supposed to be an icon, in any case. In the common vernacular, Mohammed, not the person, but the symbol and the islamic fanaticism that the symbol engenders, blows. It says more than anything I have seen in a while. I am sorry he had to lose his job over it. Hopefully, he will find better things to do... I actually think that the Mohammed Blows cartoon is the best I have seen by far.

Should concerned conservatives take up a collection? It's all well and nice to champion someone's right to free speech, but if His standing up for our rights has cost him his livelihood, perhaps we need to put our contributions where our mouths are.

She's a National merit scholar, a dozen AP's, well over 4.0 GPA and 99th percentile achievement tests. She's also a private pilot, an accomplished fencer, operatic soprano and a licensed real estate agent. She thought it would be fun to take the test, so she studied over Christmas. Her college fund can easily pay for any school in the US. She won't need any financial aid. As we went over the colleges and universities she was interested in, there were several dimensions. How is it's overall national reputation. How is it's reputation in prelaw/poli sci/business/econ? Does it discriminate against people based on their race, national origin or sex? Michigan was out of the running on that one. And, most importantly, does it tolerate, host, encourage or allow terrorist sympathizers on campus? Yale and UC Irvine fell out there. Looks like Belmont wouldn't have made the cut, either. My daughter is about to graduate from high school.

Belmont is a BAPTIST institution, and in four years I never had politics mentioned by my professors. It simply isn't a liberal institution, much less commie. I also read the Scene every week. It does lean left, but you know that going in. And it's really not all that bad politically compared to most other alt-weeklies, with some good movie and music reviews to boot.

Shwuh? Ahem, the Shylock figure alluded to is a racist fiction and always has been. Does that mean that big-nosed money grubbing Jews don't exist? Certainly not, rather that the application of same is an unfair attack on an entire race. The Mohammed with a bomb figure is, sadly, taken from today's headlines. With Iran declaring it will release a wave of 40,000 belt-bombers into the world can anyone say this is an unjust characterization? This is before we even get into the question of double standards. I wonder how outraged Mr. Spragins was at PissChrist. Not very, I'll guess. “seems bearded Muslim terrorists are the new big-nosed, money-grubbing Jews.”
