I don’t necessarily agree with the writer of this article, but it does present an interesting look at Religion and the Founding Fathers. While the quotes pulled from the Founding Fathers are, at heart, heavily anti-religious in nature, they don’t quite convey the “evils” of religion that the writer would claim they portray. I think there’s more to be said about administration than anything else — an interesting read, nonetheless.

I was filled with disbelief when Georgie asked for an additional $87 billion earlier this year for the Middle East situation. This person puts that spending in perspective. Well, perspective if we only had $1 bills.

Why have we spent almost three times as much in the war in Iraq and Afganistan than we have on education? I’m beginning to think the US is going to make its new policy a calculator in every person’s hands, because I have doubts people will be able to make exact change in the future.

Me thinks we should force everyone in the world to use dollar bill (or roughly equivalent) currency only. It would make buying a car fun!
