with respect to happiness, that is.

Here are the quick answers for why this is so. People who feel sufficient personal power to fend for themselves tend to be Republican or Liberatarian, of or some similar ilk. This feeling of personal competence springs from inherent optimism. Optimistic people tend to be happy most of the time.

On the other hand, you have your leftists. They don’t have that feeling of being able to fend for themselves, and this causes their attraction towards increasing handouts from above, and increasing governmental control of their lives.
Since the government is inherently inefficient, it of course bungles the job of controlling leftist lives, and is unable to supply their needs. Sooooooo the leftists remain unhappy, and this increases with age and with accumulated disappointments.

Why are the old republican boys happier than the old republican girls? There are fewer boys left alive, at that stage of life, and more girls per boy, of course.

That was easy. 🙂

Here’s one reason why there’s enough room in jail to house the violent criminals. It’s not all attributable to mandatory sentencing, you know.

Yep, Notre Dame had an elderly priest above, and a NUN (Sr. Lois Marie Metoraj) arrested during their Obama festival.

I might be fast and loose (hyperbolic) with the terminology, but it seems to fit this case, as far as I can tell.

Read up about a young mom who determined to forgo chemo for an aggressive brain tumor so that her unborn baby could grow big enough to survive after delivery.

The sacrifice cost the mom her life, but her little girl survived to go home with her father, who had held firm in honoring his wife’s wishes throughout the ordeal.

In order to understand why Notre Dame is going to honor the most rabidly abortifacient politician ever to hold high office in the U.S., it helps to know the members of the Board of Directors.

Too many of them hold very close political ties to Obama, one of them, Ann Claire Williams (key in preventing enforcement of the partial birth abortion ban) is on the short list of Supreme Court nominees. Another is Mary Ann Fox, Vice chair of the National Science Board who recently announced the opening of another embryonic stem cell research facility.

It’s a real cast of characters at odds with Catholic teaching, so Notre Dame can’t be expected to reverse course in its decision to host the Obamanator at commencement.

The nature of Notre Dame has been revealed, and since it will lose support among its alumni, the University will need to dissociate itself from the Church, seek alignment with its new “messiah”, Obama, and depend on him for sustenance.

For those who have been confused by media misrepresentations of Catholics’ views on this controversy, look to the May 5 Rasmussen telephone poll. Seems that 60 percent of Catholics think that Notre Dame should not confer the honorary degree to Obama. Seems that only about half have been following the story to any significant degree.

Ewww…..

Your kid can get free sex advice from an anonymous adult via the cell phone.

I guess this is one more reason to take care of your kids’ sex ed yourself. If you’re uncomfortable broaching this topic with your own children, guess what! There are a cadre of adults who are more than happy to address this topic with them, and perhaps in ways you might not approve.

Seems that the “Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign” has board members who also run Planned Parenthood “how do do it ” educational campaigns. So if you have trouble with one of PP’s finest teaching your kid how to “take care down there” with various barriers and/or small appliances, then keep a sharp eye out.

Don’t forget to teach you kids the Normal, before someone else fills their head with the kink & sick stuff. There’s nothing more nauseating than thinking of Planned Parenthood’s abortion marketeers advertising to your kid on the cell phone you purchased to keep them safer.

And it appears that some of the seniors will be attending an alternate ceremony instead of what would have been their graduation ceremony. Hat’s off to them!!

Here’s a video which invites more to do the same.

A woman in Eskilstuna, southern Sweden had asked to know the sex of her unborn children before aborting on two different occasions. This made even Swedish health care providers squeamish. Asking for guidance on what to do in these instances (giving information on the sex of the chuld without any medical cause), they were told by Swedens Board of Health and Welfare that such requests cannot be refused. Yes, this is a quote: “that it is not possible to deny a woman an abortion up to the 18th week of pregnancy, even if the foetus’s gender is the basis for the request.”

You got that? NOT POSSIBLE TO DENY AN ABORTION…….

Do you know what those big letters mean???

At the Press Club dinner C-Span cameras caught some fun stuff. Mostly it was the press drooling on themselves as Obama spoke.

The tired old Rush Oxycontin jokes were recycled by Wanda Sykes one more time, and Obama laughed –again.

According to Politico’s Glenn Thrush: She concluded with “I hope this country fails?? I hope his kidney fails!”.

I’m wondering who got it wrong about the number of kidneys in the body, this reporter or gurl-Sykes?

They hate us for being competent — every time a liberal kills a conservative it qualifies as a “hate crime” 😉

Available here, for your convenience is a link to the full document from the Dept. of Homeland Security concerning the “Right Wing Extremists” of which I am apparently one.

It’s so comforting to know that the Dept of Homeland Security will be giving “free colonoscopic procedures” to Prolifers, while ignoring the terrorists who would like to bring the U.S. down.

It appears that Specter was relying on the Democrats (per a promise from Harry Reid) to retain his rank and seniority as a senator.

This was not to be, as Reid announced a reduction of Specter to more junior status in most of the committees in which he serves.

This might be blamed on Specters comments concerning the contested Minnesota senate race, and the fact that Specter is not agreeing with the party line on every single issue.

Newsmax concludes that Specter seems to have been betrayed by the party which seduced him.

This author hopes that Specter formally remains a democrat, however. There’s too much advantage conferred on republicans by losing this guy.

What a way to conclude a career, Arlen!

Oh, did I mention? It appears that according to current rules, the republicans could actually filibuster all the judicial nominees of Obama, within the judiciary committee…….. at least for now. Do you think they have the necessary gonadal fortitude for this?
