SENATE DEADLOCKED OVER SNOWBALL FIGHT PROPOSAL Washington, D.C. – Things are never easy in Washington and that is likely to never change. Whether debating over healthcare reform or economic reform, the battles that have been fought in the halls of power are always greater and much more fierce than anything Al Qaeda or the Taliban can bring to bear. This government was supposed to be different, it was supposed to bring change, it was supposed to bring hope, but instead it has brought more of the same. With the old game of Republicans versus Democrats in full swing, progress is once again at a standstill. TEA PARTY PROTESTS PORTRAYAL IN CAPTAIN AMERICA, ZIGGY Washington, D.C. –  For almost 70 years one person has stood as the hallmark of American patriotism. Created by Joe Simon and comic legend Jack Kirby, Captain America was the embodiment of American pride at a time when the country most needed it. While much has changed from those days when the world was at war, the success of the comic has not as evidenced by the impending release of a big screen version of the red, white, and blue hero.

SCOTT BROWN ELECTION PROMPTS RETIREMENT TALK FROM OBAMA Washington, D.C. – No one ever told Barack Obama that being the President of the United States was going to be an easy job. Obama too likely never believed for a second that the day-to-day stresses of the job wouldn’t get to him. There have been too many men before him to lead as example for anyone to believe that such a dream job would be dreamy. Lincoln and slavery, Truman and the bomb, Kennedy and Cuba, all examples of how tough the job can really be, all examples Obama surely learned from. MIKE HUCKABEE COMES OUT IN DEFENCE OF CANNIBALISM Washington, D.C. – There are a few crimes that stand above all others as the most vile and depraved acts that a human being can commit against another. Rape, murder, child abuse, genocide, and cannibalism are amongst the most despised and reviled of all crimes in modern society. Part of that revulsion has to do with changing values rather than an embedded sense of morality, despite what religion may teach us. Rape for example was common and accepted up until women’s rights came to forefront. Child sexual abuse is still common in certain areas of the world and was openly practiced in first world nations such as Denmark as late as 1980. Morality, like everything else, changes with society.
