Some lovers still prefer to buy their significant other boxes of chocolates and teddy bears, such as these on-line goodies from Godiva Chocolates.  But, you’d better put a rush on the gifts or they won’t be there on time.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Rather than spending Valentine’s Day with their partner, one fifth of adults would prefer to be with their pet, although the French still came top for romance, according to a joint global poll by Reuters/Ipsos.

The survey of 24,000 people in 23 countries found 21 percent of adults would rather spend February 14 with their pet than their spouse, although the French were least likely to choose a furry friend over a human with only 10 percent taking that option.

But the survey found that age and income were more of a determining factor than nationality when it came to romance, with younger, less affluent people more likely to choose their pet as their Valentine’s Day companion.

John Wright, senior vice president of Ipsos, said 25 percent of people aged under 35 opted for their pet over their partner compared to 18 percent of those aged 35-54 and 14 percent of people aged 55 plus.

Men and women were evenly split over the question.

Those choosing pets over people were also more likely to be those who have a lower income (24 percent) compared to those who were middle or higher income earners (20 percent).

“Likely defying stereotype, the desire to spurn a partner for a pet is not rooted in gender but rather age and even there it seems the older you are, the least likely it is you’d choose pet over partner,” said Wright.

“While there are country differences, it’s more of a personal choice made by younger and less affluent individuals.”

On a country-by-country basis, residents of Turkey were the most likely, at 49 percent, to choose their pet over their spouse or partner.

Next came India with 41 percent, then Japan with 30 percent, China with 29 percent, the United States with 27 percent and Australia with 25 percent.

On the other hand, the nations where residents were the least likely to want to spend the day with a pet instead of their spouse or partner were France at 10 percent, Mexico 11 percent, the Netherlands 12 percent and Hungary at 12 percent.

About 1,000 individuals participated on a country by country basis via an Ipsos (http://www.ipsos.com) online panel with weighting employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample’s composition reflected that of the adult population according to the most recent country census data.

www.LC.org Liberty Counsel News Release  February 6, 2010.

New York City, NY – This weekend Mathew D. Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, will appear on Mike Huckabee’s show to discuss potentially dramatic changes to the framework of textbooks that are being discussed by the Texas State Board of Education (TSBOE). Huckabee and Staver will be revealing suggested changes, some of which are still under discussion. TSBOE will soon finalize the language that textbook publishers use to align their textbooks to current standards. As Texas is a leader in textbooks, most other states purchase the same educational materials. The show will begin at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, Eastern Time.

Some of the suggestions that have come forward at various times include:

  • Removing references to Daniel Boone, General George Patton, Nathan Hale, Columbus Day, and Christmas.
  • Including the cultural impact of hip hop music, ACLU lawyer Clarence Darrow, and the Hindu holiday of Diwali.
  • Replacing the term “American” with “Global Citizen”– stating that students need to be shaped “for responsible citizenship in a global society” without any mention of citizenship in American society.
  • Replacing expansionism and free enterprise with imperialism and capitalism.

Cynthia Dunbar, an elected member of the TSBOE and Assistant Professor at Liberty University School of Law, stated “James Madison warned us that when error is allowed to become steeped in precedent it leads to tyranny. If an erroneous view of our American heritage is allowed to stand, that view will be even more entrenched when we revisit this issue again in 10 years. Since the board consists of only 15 members, the decision of eight individuals may determine what goes into textbooks on a national level; it is crucial that the voices of patriotic Americans be heard.”

The Board’s next meeting is in March and the final reading and adoption of the social studies guidelines will be in May. Make your voice heard now, before the next meeting. Please call the board at 512-463-9734 and encourage them to promote traditional, pro-American language in their guidelines, or you may email them at sboeteks@tea.state.tx.us.

Mathew Staver commented: “To have a bright future we must know our past. Those who want to reshape America begin by rewriting our past. We repeat the mistakes of the past when we are ignorant of them. America has a rich past founded on Judeo-Christian values. To forget them, or worse, to distort them, will doom our future. That is why the textbook controversy in Texas affects every American.”

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) was sworn in Thursday evening on the Senate floor, officially taking the seat held for 46 years by the late Ted Kennedy. Brown, who won a Jan. 19 special election and broke the Democrats filibuster-proof 60 seats, was given the oath of office by Vice President Joe Biden. Brown arrived in Washington on Thursday, just hours after his election was certified in Massachusetts, and he was welcomed by Republicans as the magic 41st GOP senator. Before his swearing in, the former state legislator was greeted at the Russell Senate Office Building by a pool of reporters and cameras, holding the media off as he reached into the back of his vehicle to retrieve his certification papers. ”It’s exciting,” Brown said to the crowd. “I’m humbled and honored to represent the people of Massachusetts. Now it’s time to get to work.”

In front of a bipartisan group of senators and a packed gallery, Brown took the oath of office alongside Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass), with whom he talked for several minutes on the floor while awaiting his swearing-in. Brown shared a moment on the floor as well with Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.)—Brown’s Congressman for many years and a confidant, the newly-minted senator said as he walked to a ceremony in the old Senate chamber following his official oath. Thursday also marked the final day of service for Sen. Paul Kirk, the Democrat charged with completing Kennedy’s term. Kirk, who said he has worked closely with Brown to ease the transition between offices, gave farewell remarks on the Senate floor Thursday afternoon, reflecting on Kennedy’s legacy.  February 4, 2010.

EDITORIAL NO.2              

The Democrats in Washington are calling The Republicans, “The Party of No!”

How great an ego it must take by some of the Democrats in Washington to call the Republicans “The Party of No!”  The leftist Demo majority in congress has spent more than a year pushing and shoving those who disagree with the Demo’s goal to turn the U.S. into a socialist nation that we have fought against since 1776.

It is the talk of the nation that so many Democrats will be going down along with their socialist leanings in the upcoming mid-term elections this November.  Those who oppose these elected congressmen and women and their leanings, are scared to death at the Tea Party Conventions and the large Town Hall meetings that have been grossly ignored by the congressmen and senators who refuse to listen to the people’s opinion and their unhappiness with the current administration and poor usage of our tax dollars.   

If they were not aware of what they have been foisting upon the American people when they began this onslaught to spend tax dollars in such a foolish way, then why are they running scared today?

The Health Care Bill:  Americans aren’t against the changes in the health care programs we now have, but they certainly are against the secretive manner in which the congress has moved to change things behind the voter’s backs.

Who was in charge of the Over-Sight Committees in congress when  AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were doing their thing that eventually brought down the mortgage market and affected the entire world.  Aren’t the Democratic power boys and girls guilty of ignoring their buddy’s wrongdoings?

Take a look at who was in charge of the over-sight committees then and see how many of those in congress and the senate are still in office.   When it comes to voting these candidates back in office in the mid-term and 2012 elections, we should make note of how many friends and neighbors we can talk with who will be voting these “firmly entrenched” Demos out of office.

But, let’s make sure we know and understand who we are voting in to replace them.

Classic liberal headline: New Orleans elects

first

white mayor since 1978

So what? Who cares that the guy is white? Was this some kind of repudiation of his predecessor, the black guy, Ray Negin? If is was a repudiation, was it because Negin is black? Or was it because he was incompetent in handling the Katrina distaster?

Incidentally, New Orleans, as Reuters reminds us in a race-centric write-up, is still a majority black city.

Landrieu, a Democrat and Louisiana’s lieutenant governor, won more than 50 percent of the vote, defeating a field of 10 other competitors and avoiding a run-off election. Democrat Troy Henry, a black businessman, came in second.

Landrieu, 49, the son of New Orleans’ last white mayor, Moon Landrieu, rode a wave of discontent over the slow pace of the city’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and rampant crime.

In his victory speech, Landrieu said his election showed that voters wanted a city that was “unified rather than divided.”

About two-thirds of New Orleans’ population is black and Landrieu was helped by his father’s legacy of desegregating the city. Moon Landrieu left office in 1978.

It is too bad liberals aren’t more colorblind. If they would just stop calling people black men and white men and instead judge people by the content of their character, maybe we could improve race relations. You would think that liberal news organizations, who never pass up an opportunity to try to divide Americans by race, would, simply ignore the racial angle in the least “offensive” scenario when a black (oppressed) electorate elects a white (oppressor) politician.

There appears to be no race-based reason whatsoever for Landrieu’s win.

February 6, 2010 SYDNEY —  The anti-whaling ship the Bob Barker and a Japanese harpoon boat collided in the icy waters off Antarctica on Saturday — the second major clash this year in the increasingly aggressive confrontations between the two sides.
No one was reportedly injured in the latest strike. The U.S.-based activist group Sea Shepherd, which sends vessels to confront the Japanese fleet each year, said a small hole was torn in the hull of its ship, but it was above the water line and the vessel was not in danger of sinking.

Editor’s Note:   Which side are you on?  The whaling ship’s or the Anit-Whaling ship’s?  Please leave comments.

THE THEME MUSIC FROM THE 1993 FILM ”INDECENT PROPOSAL” STARRING ROBERT REDFORD, DEMI MOORE, AND WOODY HARRELSON.  MUSIC COMPOSED BY JOHN BARRY.

JOHN BARRY’S FILM COMPOSITION IS WONDERFUL!  BUT, THEN SO ARE ROBERT REDFORD, DEMI MOORE, AND WOODY HARRELSON.  

Childhood sweethearts David (Woody Harrelson) and Diana Murphy (Demi Moore) are a married couple who travel to Las Vegas, hoping they can win enough money to finance David’s fantasy real estate project. They place their money on red in roulette and lose. After gambling away all of their savings, they encounter billionaire John Gage (Robert Redford). John is attracted to Diana and offers David one million dollars to spend a night with her. After a difficult night, David and Diana decide to accept the offer, and a contract is signed the next day. John flies Diana to a private yacht, and it is assumed that their arrangement is consummated.

Although he had hoped to forget the whole incident, David grows increasingly insecure about his relationship with Diana, consumed with a fear that she remains involved with Gage; this insecurity is heightened by the fact Diana discovers that Gage has bought their home/property while it was going into foreclosure. Because of this tension on their relationship, David and Diana separate. John actively persists and renews his advances on Diana. Although she initially resists, Diana eventually consents to spending time with him, and a relationship develops. David, meanwhile, realizes he cannot go on without the love of his life. When Diana files for divorce, David makes one final attempt to win her back by signing the divorce papers and giving the million dollars away.

John sees how Diana looks at David and recognizes that, even if she stayed with him, their relationship would never achieve the intensity she had with David. Then John misleads her into thinking that she was only the latest in a long line of “million dollar girls”. She leaves John and returns to David.

EDITOR’S NOTE:  The film clip shown here is probably one of Woody Harrelson’s best acting parts. Demi Moore, so lovely and seductive also shows well, even though some highly paid film critics may be too holier-than-thou about the plot to give credit where credit is due.
