Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says there are no gays in Iran. Well, I guess I would have to agree.
Gays are apparently executed for their orientation, hence, no gays in Iran!
I therefore have trouble understanding airheads such as the lesbian noted by the GayPatriot.
She thinks that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is way ahead of Bush (despite the fact she admits she would be dead in his country).
Apparently, her hate for George Bush is greater than her desire to live.

Dan Rather's Tin Foil Hat
I think that Dan Rather has gone over the edge.
He says of CBS executives "Their motives were “to pacify the [Bush] White House,” “appease angry government officials” or “to curry favor with the Bush administration” as a means of advancing the corporate interest of CBS owner Viacom.
The MSM appeasing the White House? That is just plain loony.

Darth Cheney
Bloggers left and right are linking to this, but I must admit that I found this to be funny.
I would give anything to hear Cheney say "I find your lack of faith....disturbing," as he sticks out his hand to choke Hillary with "the force."

I am against the bill providing new congressional seats.
I have always been against this bill for two reasons.
1. I'm pretty sure it's unconstitutional.
2. Utah should wait until the next census to get an extra seat without giving the Democrats a freebie seat.
That being said, I think that the District of Columbia should be given a seat (representation), but the constitution should be modified to allow it. I think most would agree that preventing 'taxation without representation' is one of the main reasons this country was founded, so one would think that there is a solid argument for a constitutional change.

I hate to be cynical, but...
doesn't the timing of this seem to be a little too convenient?
McCain says he's now an active Baptist
McCain has alway had trouble with Southern Baptists, but I suppose I shouldn't be cynical.
Perhaps his conversion is a heartfelt one.

Television and Radio Shows
Yes. I am conservative, but you might be surprised at what I watch and listen to.
Television: No, not Fox 24/7. Just Brit Hume.
I switch channels between the History Channel, the Science channel (absolutely my favorite), and the Military channel (which is essentially a military-based history channel).
I listen to the first hour of Rush Limbaugh and then turn him off. I can take only so much of his self-absorption. I don't listen to Sean Hannity, Bob Lonsberry, and Michael Savage. The first is too strident (he says the word"unbelievable" about every two seconds), the second has what appears to be a fake stutter for effect (i.e., "Shucks! I'm just a stupid radio guy, but even I know that blah, blah, blah,"), and the third is too hateful. I like Glenn Beck, but the time slot doesn't fit my schedule. Doug Wright on KSL is the most level-headed, and he treats his guests and callers with good respect.

BYU = Conservative myth
I am surprised at how many people think or assume that BYU teaches conservatism.
Sure, church members as a whole tend to be conservative, but BYU has many Democrats and some are even liberal Democrats. In fact, I know of three in the Japanese department alone, and there may be more that I am unaware of. In fact, I share an office with a Democrat who is vociferously anti-Bush. I believe he has a severe case of BDS. What may be even more surprising to some is that the Religion department probably has a Democrat or two.
BYU invites speakers from both political parties. Vice President Dick Cheney spoke last semester (amidst many anit-war protesters, I might add, who protested without incident), and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will speak this semester.
Also, just take a stroll through a BYU faculty parking lot. You will see as many liberal bumpers stickers as you will conservative bumper stickers.
BYU doesn't teach conservative per se, but BYU does have rules that tend to irk liberals more than conservatives.

Alan's Window on the World
This page is designed to present part of my view on this world. Note that I said "view on" rather than "view of." In other words, I will post things that I see as I look out my 'window on the world.' Many times I will not comment on what I see, but sometimes I might do so. If I am away from my 'window,' I probably won't update this page very often. In fact, this page will not be published in the Internet directory (i.e., you can't search for it), although it will be available on the Internet. You only know about this page because I or someone else emailed the link to you.
The 'door to my room' is closed right now, so I don't have the comments option enabled. I don't have an open door policy. When it's open, it's open. When it's closed, it's closed. If you really want to tell me something, you can yell through the door by calling me or sending me an email.
