Curse the blasted jelly-boned swines, the slimy belly-wriggling invertebrates, the miserable sodding rotters, the flaming sods, the sniveling, dribbling, dithering, palsied pulseless lot that make up England today.

Fargo Flood Waters Break Record, Spur Evacuations

North Dakota’s Red River is forecast to swell for at least another day after breaking a 112- year-old flood record in Fargo today and forcing hundreds of people to flee their homes.

A leaking levee in Fargo, the state’s largest city, prompted 40 families to leave their residences last night, Cecily Fong, a spokeswoman for North Dakota Emergency Services, said by telephone. Workers piled more than a half million sandbags against waters that may not subside for a week, compounding the city’s challenges.

“The longer sandbags sit and hold back water, the less stable they could become,” Patrick Slattery, a National Weather Service spokesman in Kansas City, said by phone.

At Fargo, the river climbed to 40.63 feet (12.4 meters) at 11:15 a.m. Chicago time, almost 23 feet above the flood point, and eclipsing the previous record of 40.1 feet, set in April 1897, according to the weather service.

Creationism is bad Religion:
{excerpt}
It’s dead obvious that creationism isn’t science, or even bad science. It’s nonsense. But I’ve long stated it’s also bad religion, because it doesn’t just take faith, it also takes a phenomenal disregard of reality. Moderate Christians should distance themselves from such garbage..

Something has to give, Cousin Fist. I think this is the proposal that could help get the republicans back into the majority in Congress- but they have to do more than a token gesture of passing it. They must keep pushing for it until it passes. State governments have to balance their budgets- why is Congress any different?

CT must have missed that part. We are running about 1 billion plus in the red right now. With more to come in the future.

Don't Pass Away

First from lightening, thunder quill, enlightening,
The stone right laws by ten dimensions laid.
True commandments and declared freedoms,
The blood warriors' gifts, a high price paid.
Don't watch your Founders' nation pass away.

We the people, living, moving,
Melding in chromatic orb to one,
Assured the hate wright, right hate fail well
Under goddess Liberty's watchful Sun.
Don't watch your Forefathers' nation pass away.

Elephants with donkeys gorging,
Wallowing in the selfsame treasure trough.
Their main course, their masters' wages,
Prime flesh cut from naive sloths.
Don't watch your Father's nation pass away.

By millions, billions, advancing trillions
Grow the vulgar links of debtor chain.
Lost in paper, dog-eared, mark-eared,
Drunk policy swine, deaf they remain.
Don't watch your Mother's nation pass away.

Moneymongers feeding, knowing
Power drives each hundredth's porkish whims.
Called in, snowed in, most agreed on
The specter of their gluttish sins.
Don't watch your Own nation pass away.

The leading Zero led by a queen
None see beyond sore, rose eyes.
From reigning temples they subdue us,
Decreeing changeless, hopeless tyrannies.
Don't watch your Chidren's nation pass away.

The lunar percent, greater, lesser, missionary,
Lost in lies and things mundane.
Smoke grassfire, communistic, nurtures
The red candy cancer bureaucracy.
Don't watch your Grandchildren's nation pass away.

Pistacia vera dehiscence mirroring
Knowledge spread by tiny, green gamelike spheres.
The thoughtful sequence, buzz of letters spearing,
Charted electric by a most wise lizard One.
Don't watch your Army's nation pass away.

It's your home, your freedom station,
A divine gift of Providence.
Those oath defacing deserve replacing.
Nothing here is happenstance.
Don't watch your Own nation pass away.

Don't let your Own nation pass away.

re: #174 Charles

That bill does not force anyone to do anything -- please read it. It commissions a study to determine whether a mandatory service program could work, but the bill itself does not have any such mandatory service provisions in it.

This is another issue that's being distorted beyond recognition by some alarmist bloggers and WND.

And it was picked up by Laura Ingraham on the O'Reilly factor last night. Very deceiving.

re: #129 doppelganglander

My concern is that they'll make some sort of involuntary servitude volunteer work mandatory for receiving student loans. I will live in a cardboard box and work 3 jobs to put my kid through school before I'll subject her to that.

They may make it mandatory to graduate.

re: #172 Sharmuta

They won't pass balanced budgets unless we make them. That's why a Constitutional amendment forcing their hand is needed. I do not favor amendments for social issues, but this is a government issue, and I therefore feel it's justified.

I tend to agree altho a certain small % of debt may be justifiable...it would be cool to see an instant and continuing downsizing of govt...my dream come true

That is both a relief and an irritant. A relief for obvious reasons, and an irritant because a study means more of our money being wasted on a stupid idea that is designed to take more of our freedoms from us. There should be no debate necessary to decide that this shouldn't happen.

Americorps forced volunteerism passed the House and is now in the Senate.

It's going through under the radar. The Brown Shirts are coming.

"Resistance to expanded mandated public service programs can be expected from the ideologically sclerotic patriotic, those who occupy the negative moral ground between government as the problem protector of life liberty and the persuit of happiness and government as our enemy constitutionally by the people and for the people," former Democratic Colorado Sen. Gary Hart wrote in a recent op-ed on the Huffington Post Web site.

The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act -- sponsored by Reps. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y, and George Miller, D-Calif. -- was approved by a 321-105 vote and now goes to the Senate.

A 321-105 vote tells me that a lot of Republicans voted for it. Are they just brain-dead, or what?

It's part of why I'm suggesting this. Separate the wheat from the chaff as far as fiscal conservatism goes. Why they dropped this is anyone's guess- because socialist republicans don't care, I suppose. But if we want fiscal conservatism to make a comeback, this is the vehicle I propose.

It's actually a bit spooky. We go out to the mall, or store or whatever and he says Hi to strangers. Been doing it for over 2 months now.
People get kind of freaked out when this little baby talks to them. I'm still not used to it.

Yes, it is just commissioning a study on mandatory service, but why does the term mandatory have to be in the bill? Between this and the proposal to reduce the charitable deduction for people above a certain level of income it seems to me that the Dems and the current President are aiming directly at the biggest threat to their utopian plans - voluntary giving.
