Help Mom! There's a Liberal Under My Bed!

Author Katharine DeBrecht, a mother of three, explained why she wrote her new book:

"Liberals have been foisting their ideological agenda on our kids for years, and now they’re beside themselves that someone would stand up to them. Evidently books about socialist fish and gay kings are OK, but a story about hard work and self-reliance is too extreme."

The book tells of two brothers who open a lemonade stand. Their plans to save up their hard-earned profits to buy a swing set go awry when a Ted Kennedy character taxes away their profits and a pants-suit clad Hillary Clinton look-alike outlaws sugary drinks.

Cajuns made it without government aid

Good points:

From the Baton Rouge Advocate, a Letter to the Editor by Jean Badeaux Urdiales of Baton Rouge

"Cajuns made it without government aid"

The Cajuns of south Louisiana did indeed 'survive the attempted genocide' (when they were ousted from Canada those many years ago) … and it should be noted that this survival was without the help of a government willing and able to offer anything in a way of welfare checks, free housing or medical care.
There was no Red Cross or Salvation Army, neighbors across the country did not open arms, hearts, homes or pocketbooks to assist them. Yet survive they did … and that Louisiana Cajun heritage of strength and 'joie de vivre' lives on today.
The devastated victims of today were ousted by a terrible storm named Katrina.
There will be much help available to them.
I pray that they take a page from the Cajuns and dig down deep for their strengths, their determination, their courage and their faith and build even better lives for themselves and their families.

For instance, Starbucks will spend more on health insurance for employees this year than on coffee, according to the Associated Press.

This year, the average annual premium for family coverage hit $10,880, with employers paying an average of 74% of that cost and workers paying the rest. Workers this year paid on average $2,713 toward family coverage, or $1,094 more than they paid five years ago, the survey found.

President Bush in LA

It does get hot here. :)

She read too much Darwin, I guess

Teacher resigns over calling evacuees "yard apes."

Of course what she did was wrong, but it brings to light inequity.

this lady was just voicing what she's been taught all of her life: that people evolved from monkeys, and that dark-skinned people are less evolved than light-skinned people.

That's what the schools teach and imply.

Katrina Pics

Here are a few pics I took of our Katrina damage. I'm thankful we were on the "less dangerous" side.

By the way, we had power and internet restored this morning. Praise the Lord!
