Some say conservatives want to turn back the clock, they're not progressive!

I disagree and I'll use this quote to make my point.

"I would rather get away from that whole idea of clocks. We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive ... [and] going back is the quickest way on." C.S. Lewis

Trouble in Gelsenkirchen

Tragedy is unfolding in the German city of Gelsenkirchen. It seems the United States is on the verge of losing its first match in the World Cup. It is lunch now, but I am afraid I may not be able to go on working today. Sigh. I just don't understand why Americans do not like soccer or football? I mean, look at the stats for today's match so far. After 70 minutes of play there have been a total of 12 shots and 5 of those shots have been on target. Whoa! See a live play-by-play report HERE. A side note for you, here is the message that President Bush gave to the men before they took the field... er "pitch".

"You've been doing a great job in preparation. The whole country is behind you. Give them hell."
UPDATE: It is done, the U.S. loses three to "nil" as they say.
