Oliver Stone Says He is 'Ashamed for My Country' - he says that Bush's policies have...

Mr. Bush has set America back 10 years, maybe more.

10 years! So he's set us all the way back to the Clinton years.

But now I'm confused - didn't Stone like the Clinton years?

I picked up a couple of new clubs off of eBay yesterday and today. First was the Yes Golf Victoria II Putter. I've been struggling with my putting all season, mostly directional issues, and this club was very easy for me to get lined up.

I also picked up a MacGregor NVG 5-wood. I haven't carried a 5-wood since I was in about the 7th grade, so this will be interesting. I picked up up largely because the course I primarily play has some par 4's that are best played with about a 240 drive off of the tee, and my 3-wood goes too far, my 3-iron, not quite far enough.

2 Dems are pitching the idea of 3 month mandatory civil service time for 18-25 year-olds.

We need a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us by establishing for the first time an ethic of universal citizen service. All Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 should be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic civil defense training and community service. This is not a draft, nor is it military. Young people will be trained not as soldiers, but simply as citizens who understand their responsibilities in the event of a natural disaster, an epidemic or a terrorist attack.
