Recently, actor Tom Hanks endorsed Barack Obama for President. He’s a Hollywood power player, so it shouldn’t surprise me. After all, The Democrats are the party of the Rich and elite, no matter what they try to tell us. However, I was a bit shocked by it, considering Mr. Hanks last project was the HBO Miniseries “John Adams”, the biographical account of the progenitor of our nation who later became the second president of the United States. Maybe I’m alone, but I find it a bit odd for someone to feel passionately enough about a small government conservative like John Adams to produce a 10 hour miniseries about him, and then turn around and endorse a big-government socialist like Barack Obama. That would be like me producing a Ken Burns–length epic on FDR. I’d sooner hang myself with barbed wire. I’d never do it. I’d feel so dirty.

Government is not the answer.

Apparently, the giant purple '5' is to "Make it more distinguishable from other bills at a glance." What, the already sizable '5' or the HUMONGOUS PICTURE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN on the FRONT of the bill isn't a dead giveaway? Seriously, if you need more help than that, you shouldn't be leaving the house. Not without a helmet anyway. And don't give me crap about being blind. If you're blind, you wouldn't see the '5' if it folded out like a road map. Maybe they figure since Canadian money is worth more, our money need to look

I can no longer abide the perception of Barack Obama as the Messiah. Time to take him down a peg.

Mary Katharine Ham is awesome.
