Because he led the U.S. effort in the wholesale annihilation of the Navajo nation and its 300-mile death march known as "Long Walk," Kit Carson is remembered by some as everything bad about the country's Westward expansion.
But Carson, who had nothing to do with the myths created about him in cheap novels, was a former trapper well versed in tribal ways who was accepted by many chieftains and

A new review of mine from BlogCritics:You can't live in the United States of America and not notice the shift in politics towards religion. Almost daily we see the lines between Church and State become blurrier and blurrier. Damon Linker calls this movement theoconservatism and outlines the rise and development of this uniquely American point of view in his book The Theocons-Secular America Under Siege.Linker has a unique perspective as the former editor of First Things, the journal of the theocons. He believes that Americans should be scared enough by this small conservative movement to keep an eye and a check on how far religion is allowed to go in consulting with federal government.The argument is compelling. We are dealing with an administration that brought in faith based initiatives, faith based counseling, and that involved itself in the Terry Schiavo right-to-die case. It is also a proponent of "intelligent design", has passed (or attempted) pro-life legislation, is against
Last night’s episode of Friday Night Lights caps an inferior and incomplete (perhaps forever) second season in which more and more unlikely circumstances drove what had been a nuanced and tender look at small-town life farther into the arms of soapy improbabilities.

Continua il meraviglioso spettacolo delle "primarie" negli Stati Uniti.Il grande carrozzone della politica americana entusiasma non solo l'America.E' appena terminato il "supermartedì" delle primarie, ma in casa dei democratici ancora non è possibile tirare definitivamente le somme.Non vale la pena, secondo me, contare ora il divario tra un candidato e l'altro, tanto sono complessi (e poco certi) i meccanismi di calcolo.Non esiste infatti una conta precisa anche se i due candidati sembrano in sostanziale pareggio; ma come si sa, in politica i voti non si contano ma si pesano, e i voti di Obama pesano molto per un candidato che non era nessuno fino a poco tempo fa e che si confronta con un personaggio come Hillary.Per segnalare comunque la confusione e le differenze, riportiamo alcuni dati ad esempio; il New York Time assegna a Hillary 892 delegati e a Obama 716, la CNN invece parla di 823 in sostegno dell'una e di 741 in sostegno dell'altro.Per ora la sola differenza certa sembra ess
Were you shocked when you heard that Nicholas W. Browning was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in the deaths of his parents and two brothers?
I was and still am.
Even ONE child being arrested in the suspected murder of a parent is something that SHOULD shock you into wanting to be the best parent that you can be.

Expect QDOS (taken from 'kudos') to be on the lips of many over the next year. QDOS is a method to monitor and measure your own Internet popularity and, in the longer run, help you secure your online persona from identity theft.Currently running in Beta in the UK, QDOS is planning to launch in North America in this first quarter of 2008. So how does QDOS calculate Internet status?Up until now there has been no way to measure digital presence, to see where you fit in to the online world. At Garlik, we've analysed the digital profiles of the nation and have made available a QDOS score for every UK adult . Your QDOS score is made up of 4 different components: PopularityWho you know and the extent of your online network. ImpactHow much people listen to what you say online. ActivityWhat you do online e.g. shop, chat, blog. IndividualityHow easy you are to find online according to your name, your age etcI expect QDOS will do very well, if not absurdly well in North America. As Al Pac

As I sat down at my balky PC this morning (my wireless keyboard hates me), I had an email from a friend of TWFE alerting me to the latest Rob Parker column. That person was wondering "What was he thinking?"Honestly, I have the same thought after EVERY Parker column. But his missive in today's News is Parker at his worst.Today, the functionally retarded one carries the torch for Chris Webber returning to the Pistons.If the Pistons can get a deal done -- and that would take clearing a roster spot -- Webber will be a welcome addition to the team, just as he was around this time a year ago.It's interesting to note that Parker has no quotes from the Pistons, or from Webber. Where's he getting this info? Is it all just conjecture? All we've heard is that the Pistons have said the roster is currently full.That's why I have to wonder if Joe Dumars himself gave this story to Parker to run out there as a trial balloon, to see how the idea of C-Webb returning flies with both the public and MSM at
Somehow I would be remiss on this blog if I didn't say something about Martin Luther King, Jr. on his Birthday.Many of you readers find it strange that I could be a "liberal" and yet believe in the free market system of investments and stocks and the like. Yet is a fact. We are facing a major decline in the stock market tomorrow. So 'What does this have to do with Reverend King?' I can hear you asking. Why should being a liberal or a conservative have anything to do with the stock market? And 'aren't liberals for more government and more taxes?' and 'wouldn't they be bad for the economy?'But I would like to assert that what we have in Washington today is 'capitalism gone wild'. It is a wild west sort of place that has less to do with free markets and more to do with cronyism and incompetence.Instead of dreaming about the possibilities of brotherhood and justice, this Administration turns back the

“I’m Lauren Nelson. I’m Miss America, and I am not smarter than a fifth grader.”That’s what Oklahoma's own Miss America just said on national television as she won $175,000 on the Fox game show, “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” But she proved she is smarter than a group of fifth-grade opponents.She won $175,000 by answering a math question correctly and then realizing she probably didn't know the correct answer to the next question worth $300,000.The $175,000 question was a fourth grade math question: What is the greatest common factor of 12 and 36?"I know this. I'm confident," Nelson said. Then, slightly tilting her tiara-adorned head and wavering just a second, she said, "I'm going to go with my gut and go with 12 and lock it in."Her opponents, all grade-school children, answered 12, 6, 4 and 4."Lauren, I don't know how to tell you this," host Jeff Foxworthy said. "You just won $175,000!"Nelson, of Lawton, earlier said her mother is a teacher who began grilling Ne
