The purpose of this site is to give you a place where you can get news and opinions that are as devoid of spin as possible. We will try to separate ideas, issues, and planks of platforms from the soap opera of celebrity-style news and sound bite journalism. We invite your participation.

This is a political social networking site, open to all to join, comment, read and help develop.

Ramifications of Homeschooling

Hello,

My name is Doris Anne Beaulieu. I have a website-Life’s Ultimate Test dot com-on which you can learn more about my mission to change the face of home schooling.

I attended a parochial school as a child in the 1950's. In this Catholic school I was sheltered from the realities of the world around me-from swearing, from public displays of affection, from slang. These are often some of the same things that modern home schooling parents aim to protect their children from. A superior… Continue

Farewell Georgetown Pundits!

Its been really great exchanging opioions with you all. We could not have found a more diverse group had we tried. Alan and I, the Conservative Sages, were a bit outnumbered, but, hey what we lack in numbers we make up for in enthusiasm. (and what is the adage about age before beauty? :=) Good luck to all you Democrats. I hope all your elected candiates live up to your expecations, especially the big guy., Mr O. May God bless America!

A Russia Survey - Is Russia strong enough to compete?

Russia is not the Soviet Union, but what is it? A recovering world power—or a corrupt oligopoly with a market economy of sorts? Arkady Ostrovsky (interviewed here) explains why it is both.

Big Bills

This story facinates me. I was shocked at Richardson's endorsement of Obama--which literally seemed a direct slap, SOCK in the face of the Clintons. Clearly James Carville was too, his reaction visceral. But like all relationships no one really knows what goes on behind closed doors and the… Continue

Hillary as a Token Female? I Think Not!

Well, since no one else will say it, I guess I will have to stick my neck out there one more time. Why, oh why does an Administration that KNOWS the current Prez plans to stong arm ALL foreign affairs....Why oh Why do they always pick a woman for Secretary of State? The Secretary of State job has turned into an office that is a combination of the office of foreign diplomat and glorified housewife/hostess. Compare Condeleezza Rice's responsibilites to those of Dean Rusk, and James Baker. Look at… Continue
