There was a great roundtable debate on Meet The Press this morning. It was two nuts versus two sensible people. Made for good debate. But it's hard for me to believe that there are people stupid enough to follow Falwell around and believe him... DR. FALWELL:  Everybody hates war. REV. SHARPTON:  But you said it was pro-Christian. REV. WALLIS:  Jerry, there are millions and millions of Christians who want the nation to know that you don't speak for them... REV. SHARPTON:  That's right. REV. WALLIS:  ...that Jesus, our Jesus isn't...

Sarah McClachlan has a new video and album out. I caught the video on iTunes and it literally shocked me. Instead of spending the $150,000+ it would cost to make a video, she made a video of her sitting in a chair in front of a camera. It's incredibly simple, but the video chronicles what the money would have been spent on in a real video, and what they actually spent it on. Ambulances in Nepal, Food for Calcutta's street children, Medicine for 5000 people in Kenya, Orphanage in...

Anti-Magnet Why are you doing this? We believe that there is strong possibility that the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan might be a little far away or maybe even a little too busy to be checking out the pseudopatriotic magnet on the back of a 1986 Geo Metro as it drives down I-95 or sits in an Olive Garden parking lot. Why do you hate America? We don't hate America, we hate that people think slapping a stupid magnet on the back of their car has meaning. Mostly everyone...

How is it that this great nation we live in, allows so many to go with so little when there are so many with so much? More than 12 million families last year, about the same as in 2002, either didn't have enough food or worried about being able to feed everyone, the government reported Friday. In about one-third of these 12.6 million families, or about 3.9 million, at least one member experienced hunger because he or she couldn't afford enough food at some time during the last year, said...

Dear Molly, You were right, I Heart Huckabees was really good. Maybe even better than Garden State!...

Adam Hoover:I don't think homosexuality is okay. I don't think gay marriage is okay. I think that having our society accept and allow gay marriage would be not okay. But Christians are actually preventing homosexuals from ever coming to know Jesus because we are so hateful towards them. If we were more concerned with their souls than with maintaining our individual subjective ideals of a moral society, then maybe some of them would be open to the freedom of Christ. Vincent and I talked for most of the flight from...

especially poignant on a day when Lainie ate a bunch of pills... here was a gentle vibration still going on under Orca’s hide, and I seized on it as a potential sign of life. I begged her to hang on, just please hang on, just another minute, we were almost there, just please hold on for us. I kept begging, even after the vibration stopped. And now that we were off the freeway, I drove faster. I didn’t know if it was possible or feasible to resuscitate a cat that...

I've gotten heaps of criticism for the previous post; I saw it coming. But I posted the picture that was carried by the AP and many of the nation's newspapers. It's valid news. There's not a single person who has seen that picture and can't answer a question about the effects of our bombing campaigns in Fallujah, et all. I know it's uncomfortable, but would anybody give a damn if I had just posted a paragraph describing the boy, or the effects of urban bombing?? Probably not, the post-skimmers would...

When we voted, we said it was ok to bomb urban cities. Here's the cost....

Not that a Red-Stater will give this an ounce of reflection, but someone might (or should)... Evidence Mounts That The Vote May Have Been Hacked by Thom Hartmann When I spoke with Jeff Fisher this morning (Saturday, November 06, 2004), the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida's 16th District said he was waiting for the FBI to show up. Fisher has evidence, he says, not only that the Florida election was hacked, but of who hacked it and how. And not just this year, he said,...

Nothing funnier than M. Giant as a parent: Laundry: There is a lot of it. If you had little to no control over your mouth, bladder, and bowels, you’d probably have a lot more laundry too. The advantage with a baby is that all the laundry is very small, so you can do a prodigious amount of it all at one time. And there’s no sorting, because I took a chance and learned that the dye from the light-blue clothes isn’t going to bleed and ruin the lighter-blue clothes .Whew....

This is interesting considering that the CEO Of Diebold, who makes these worthless machines, promised to deliver Ohio for Bush. I bet he's really wishing he'd have never said that, and I'm betting that voters wish they wouldn't have allowed voting machines to be used that have no paper trail. what a joke. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said. Franklin County's unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democrat John Kerry's 260...

With the Democratic Party splattered at his feet in little blue puddles, John Kerry told the crushed crowd at Faneuil Hall in Boston about his concession call to President Bush. "We had a good conversation," the senator said. "And we talked about the danger of division in our country and the need, the desperate need, for unity, for finding the common ground, coming together. Today I hope that we can begin the healing." Democrat: Heal thyself. W. doesn't see division as a danger. He sees it as a wingman. The...

Dear America: I hoped for better. I hoped that this election, you'd really look into the issues, into the campaigns, and you'd finally see who Bush really is. But you didn't, you heard the rhetoric, the talking points, and the spin, and you believed it. You affirmed that the past 4 years of Bush was good enough. You affirmed that a candidate really only needs to front a few issues to get your vote. With your vote, you agree with Iraq. You affirm the policy in place. I remind you...

It seems that america has spoken, and they have re-elected George Bush. Seems a failed economy, failed war, and failed everything else is not as bad as being called a "liberal." I must hand it to the Bush/Cheney Campaign Team, they found no stoop too low. The lesson to be learned: you could be the world's greatest person, but they don't have to tell the truth about you....
