Visitors since 22nd March 2009:

It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Break the two party system!

So people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.
Make the Electoral College a permanent government body with seat distribution proportional to the party tally in each state and give it the right to approve cabinet members and under secretaries instead of the US Senate!

NOTE: House of Ascania (the Latin form of the castle of Aschersleben, is descended from one Gf Adalbert von Ballenstedt. The family acquired the county of Ascania ca 1100. In 1180 Gf Bernhard of Ascania and Anhalt obtained the title of Duke of Saxony with the territories of Lauenburg and Wittenberg. Albrecht the Bear became Margrave of Brandenburg ca 1134, and his descendants ruled Brandenburg until the 14th century. The only extant lines today are those of the Princes of Anhalt and the Grafen von Westarp.
