After all, today is St. Urho's Day!

Everyone knows that St. Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland, his feast day is on March 17, his color is green, and he drove the snakes from Ireland...but how many know about good ol' St. Urho?

He is the patron saint of Finland, whose day is the 16th. People wear purple in his honor to celebrate him chasing the grasshoppers out of Finland.

He might be fictional, but in northern Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the Finns go wild and get a day's head start on the beer consumption!

Let me be the first to wish everyone, liberal or conservative, a very happy St. Urho's Day! :-)

you think about it for a minute, I am an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran and a reservist, while on active duty this happened to me. You think it is right for you as a retired Command Sergeant Major to just insult me like this? You need to get out of my Army Asshole!

Yesterday Limbaugh discussed how the New York Times published a piece criticizing Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth", quickly connected the dot of how amazing this was since the NYT's is a liberal media outlet, then, stated, he suspected the Clintons were behind having the article published, to diminish Gore's chances at running for President.

This is absurd. Being a reader of the New York Times, I have found their reporting, on the whole, balanced and thoughtful, not some rantonous liberal rag. The article discussing Inconvenient Truth is attached below, it, is, a balanced and fair, but with a critical eye, piece of jounalism.

The new york times chief editors, or those that select stories to print, are not coerced to run stories on behalf of the Clintons.

In fact, an editorial was printed two weeks ago was highly critical of, in their words, "the junior senator from New York". Limbaugh has created myths, that sadly, neoconservatives buy into and are entertained by.

Me and my girlfriend have been together for about 2 and a half years now, and separated for half a year. The problem is that she lives in japan and I am an american. I am very apathetic when it comes to paperwork. I just want to know how I can get started working on getting a visa or green card for her. We have even talked about marriage, so that is definately an option. I need ideas please. Especially from those who have done this sort of thing. Thank you in advance!

The brutal truth about abortion as detailed in supreme court cases which are public records.

Also, they deleted my question regarding Michael "Shakes" Fox and the extent he will sell out his fellow unborn human beings in order to cure himself.

With LIEberals, can they dish it out but not take it???

Buying a gift of a vibrator to women took more away than thought as these gifts took away the real sense of man being with a women .In realty the porno industry takes away the real sense of passion between a man and woman and coming from china you do not know what they do with them .As looking at the passion of a french woman in france and the way she walked is what a real man is looking for as real women are hard to find.would burning down the porno industry have real passion brought back into the lives of men and women.Romance is better than plastic dildo's.

Since I moved into my house 3 years ago we keep getting fines from various authorities for speeding, parking, running red lights, hit and run and failing to stop at scene (fortunately no injuries).

All these are vehicles that do not belong to us but are registered illegally to our house. New vehicles are being registered all the time but we do not get log books or car tax reminders - only the fines. How is that possible???

I have contacted the police, our local counciller, DVLA (who were a joke), the post office, watch dog and nobody seems to be able to help. I have been told on most occassions to return fines to sender with an explanation and not worry - which I have done but these mostly get ignored and are followed by court summons, bailiffs letters etc. Its very frustrating and I don't want bailiffs knocking on my door, never mind the fact that these people are driving dangerously round the country. What happens when they hit and run and kill somebody?

what do American people have against Obama running for president. I mean, isn't it more important to find someone who will lead your country to a higher level than being a Moslem or Jew or whatever as long as he is a declared American it is not important what religion he is- he is going to do what is the best for his country...
