"HOUSELESS" IN 2008

This town of mine has always cared about the homeless. I feel I can say that with confidence after 35 years of working with volunteers, donors, and our faith communities who help the homeless daily.

I’ve talked about the city’s homeless with congressmen, City managers, police chiefs, mayors and at rotary, Church groups, at the country Club, the Town and Country. I’ve gone anywhere people would listen. And my listeners all care a lot about a problem that is now more than 40 years old and not much has changed.

Despite all of our conversations, one remark by one resident John Rasmussen sticks in my mind. Short, red-headed and always carrying a walking stick, John, who slept next to the heating vents at the main library in the winter said to me, “Frank, I’m not homeless, I’m houseless.” Continued here.

DEMOCRATIC SUPER DELEGATES

"Mr. Obama has won more states, a greater share of the popular vote and more pledged delegates than Mrs. Clinton." Sunday 16 March 2008, The New York Times.

If that is the case, and if continues to be the case, than the Democratic nominee should be Mr. Obama

Or the entire convention should default to Mr. Gore ... and let the two of them sit back and "get over. " I would not withdraw my endorsement of Mr. Obama at this point but, dammit you two, get over it .

Sally Kerns "INTO THE DUST BIN OF HISTORY AWARD" - goes to Sally Kerns

So... what does Oklahoma House Representative, Sally Kern (right) have to say about the world around us? "The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation," she says. Gays are "the death knell of this country ." They are as "bad" as Islam and worse than international terrorism!

What asked about her comments, Ms. Kern is reported to have stated, "I said nothing that was not true."

You know, the one good thing about the "Kerns" of the world? Nothing quite helps the cause of justice than a "nice" bigot with irrationally based fears.
