If the Bush Justice Department gets its way, the FBI may soon be going after American citizens on the basis of our race, religion and ethnicity-even when there is no evidence of wrongdoing. Federal law enforcement officials recently revealed proposed changes to the so-called attorney general guidelines that would allow authorities to initiate investigations of suspects by matching their personal traits to a terrorist profile.

People are finally starting to boycott McDonald's - but not for a good reason.
The newly-established McDonald's boycott isn't because it treats its employees poorly or because it serves food that rots you from the inside. No, those things actually make sense and would be great reasons to boycott McDonald's.

Earlier this week President Bush lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling, a ban put on by his father back in 1990. The move came as a way for the president to bring the issue to the forefront and pressure the House and Senate into making a decision.
You have to applaud our president: he's not just sitting on his hands and being a lame duck.

Several weeks ago, a 17-year-old boy was struck by a roller coaster and killed at the Six Flags theme park in Atlanta. The teenager scaled two 6-foot high fences in a restricted area and passed several warning signs while trying to retrieve a hat he had lost on the Batman ride.

There are people in this world that should never be allowed to procreate.
A shining example are Marleny Martinez-Amaya and Enrique Ramirez, who decided that their five-month-old infant would be perfectly capable of looking after himself in a locked car while they got drunk at a local bar for three hours, according to a story by the Associated Press.

I'm an equal-opportunity hater in this forum, meaning that both presidential candidates look about as appetizing to me as muddy gum on the sidewalk.
I don't really have an opinion leaning towards any one political spectrum, so in lieu of that, I have chosen to hate on both candidates fairly and equally.

The recent signing of Senate Bill 733, the Louisiana Science Education Act, has become a cause of some concern for me. The bill allows Louisiana public school teachers to consult supplemental textbooks and other instructional materials, outside of the standard biology textbooks, when teaching scientific theories being studied such as evolution, the origins of life, global warming and human cloning.

For a while, I was a fast driver. Recently, however, I have been driving slower to save gas. Since I have decided to "drive 55" I have noticed two things. One: I really am saving gas. Two: Other drivers hate my guts. Who likes a slow driver? Apparently some people do.

I peeked cautiously out the front window of my home, and luckily, the coast was clear.
Quickly, I grabbed a leash for my dog, Belle, hooked it to her walking harness and we scurried a few feet from the door. As she sniffed around for the perfect place to take care of business, so to speak, I noticed a car pull near the driveway.
