Subdirectories came to mind while I was trying to mentally organize all [...]

There’s a popular meme that pervades liberal blogging. Republicans hate “scary brown people.”
Have you heard that one?
That’s why we want to increase border security and put a stop to illegal immigration.

I moved She’s Right to a new server.
I still have some touch-ups to do to the template. Plus the blogroll needs to be brought over.  (Done!)  I also had to delete some of the old posts because the import file was too large. They were posts from the blogspot blog, which I imported [...]

If you do not visit She’s Right tonight, this will not affect you. She’s Right will still be found at shesright.org and, hopefully, the permalinks will all stay [...]

John McCain and Hillary Clinton won in New Hampshire. Results are here.
I am not going to say anything more about it right now. The nomination is still wide open. I think that the political blogs have spent enough time on NH.

In my last post, I said,
People – mostly liberals – talk about the Constitution being a living document. It was not meant to be for the very reason that Thompson brought up. Even though our times might be different, one thing has remained the same since the dawn of time, and that is human nature. [...]
