1 and 2 and 3 on Craig.

1) I have no idea why this whole business issue of Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) seems so funny to me ... because it really is sad ... but that said: today it is reported that Craig is now claiming that his foot-tapping and hand gestures under a stall divider in a public restroom are protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution which guarantees free speech!

2) And now there is someone has finally come forward and said he had “sex” with the senator.

3) And finally the BBC reports that the restroom where this all happened has become a tourist spot! Ain't that special!

for the the BIBLE tells me so ...

And that says it all!

WEAK SS AND EVEN WEAKER GOVERNMENT

Thanks to the Bush Administration and a weak congress for passing and signing the misguided Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. Medicare premium increases are now at the highest dollar amount in the program's history and are claiming a growing share of the annual Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) — on top of rising fuel, food, and housing costs your COLA is supposed to cover!

Ain't that special!

Priests Jailed for Protesting

Writer Bill Quigley says in Truthout : "Louis Vitale, 75, a Franciscan priest, and Steve Kelly, 58, a Jesuit priest, were sentenced to five months each in federal prison for attempting to deliver a letter opposing the teaching of torture at Fort Huachuca in Arizona. Both priests were taken directly to jail from the courtroom after sentencing." - Truth hurts I guess -

NOTHING on poverty

A small group of my brothers (probably not sisters) in Christ met in Washington last weekend at something they called a "Values Summit." The only thing on there minds were gays and abortions and which Republican presidential candidate would be toughest on "them gays" (and their "gay agenda") and the "abortionists" even though surveys of that same group say that the economy and Iraq are their number one & two concerns.

David Kuo, President Bush's former special assistant in the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives seem aghast and stopped commenting on the "summit" saying in his blog, Beliefnet. "I must end the post now or else I will write things that I will have to repent for."

So it seems that the religious extremists are still in charge of the Republican primaries.

At the conclusion of the values "event" it seems that former Baptist minister Mike Huckabee won the day for those attending until call-in voters were added and then "the great switch-a-rue from 'livable' republican to right wing appeaser", former governor, Mitt Romney of Massachusetts was first. Now ain't that special.
