It seems that my weekly contribution to a local paper is generating some heat.

If George Bush can be protrayed as a chimpanzee in a national comic strip. If Garry Trudeau can consistently portray American soldiers as bored, stupid killing machines. If so many humorists are allowed free rein when attacking conservative figures then why should the rules change when the target is a woman?

It seems that Clinton's top strategist and pollster Mark Penn has been caught with his finger up the monkey's butt.

The former union-buster and Big Tobacco lawyer (I just love to turn their own words back on them) was trying to get a little something-something rolling with the Colombians.

Of course, it didn't help that his entire strtegy failed miserably and he never managed to put the lipstick on the pig and make it stick.

Throw in Obama's recent racist statements and continued proposals of blatant political pandering ($150 billion for alternate fuels ... excuse me, but WHO is to pay that $150 billion? ... the same people who will pay the $500 billion for the Dems basic healthcare program).

Are we seeing the final implosion of the Democratic candidates?

Apparently there are three Special Needs color guard groups in the US.

Death threats by Muslim extremists have stopped the Internet service Liveleak from showing the "Fitna" video. They already have managed to remove such things as the David Pearl beheading and other atrocites from view. Yet they post their own videos of sniper attacks and civilian murders all over the Web. Like the Chinese and other totalitarian regimes they jail their own citizens for visiting proscribed sights and have tried to censor much Web activity. Political cartoonists are threatend with death while Muslim children are taught that genocide of the Jews is a holy act.

Where will it end? When will the rest of the world find the backbone to stand up to this bullying? Will the entire world be forced to censor all criticism and examination of Muslim policies and practices?

We've been married for 20 years. We are both overweight. When we started dating we both weighed in at 235. After two years of marriage she was up to 325. After the birth of our second child she would no longer let me know how much she weighs. I had to find out second-hand that she's hit 400.

The last time I attempted to talk about this she was very violent and stated "If you've got a problem with my weight then YOU have a problem." Sex is impossible and has been for a few years. She's broken several items of furniture and the seats of the vehicles.

Frankly, I'm getting sick of seeing her like this, chauvinistic, I know , but that's the way it is.

Oh ... I weigh in at 240. My job has me walking several miles a day and I enjoy hiking and camping. She's in a government office.

I've tried to get her to DO things but she's always too tired,I've tried to take over all cooking duties but she grabs a bag or two of fast food on her way to or from work.

Help.
