- American Taliban Fault Ellison for Taking Oath on Quran
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  The bible of this country? I didn't think there was one. When will the AP stop quoting wacky religious nuts feigning objectivity? Asked if it would be a problem for a Jewish lawmaker to take the oath on a Bible that included only the Old Testament, Prager responded, "Yes, it would," because he said the point is to honor the "Bible of this country."

- GOP Goes Home Without Finishing Budget Bills for 2006
  Posted by Jeff from Yahoo News!
  Via TalkingPointsMemo: "Driving the decision to quit and go home rather than finish the remaining budget work is a determined effort by a group of conservative Republicans to prevent putting a GOP stamp on spending bills covering 13 Cabinet Departments — and loaded with thousands of homestate projects derided as "pork" by critics."

- Democrats Split on How Far to Go With Ethics Law
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  This is a terrible sign. The Democrats have to end earmarks - they have to go much farther or they are just playing the Republican corruption game-lite.

Waxman Ousts Dingell From Energy Chair In Bruising Dem Fight

Dingell’s kowtowing to the auto industry lobbyists (and his wife who works at GM) has apparently passively led them to near bankruptcy. Not good for them – not good for the country. Time for change. Waxman has integrity – and will take on climate change.

Jobless Rate Highest in 14 Years - NYTimes.com

though my memory may be faulty, i do believe that the last time it was so high, the Clinton Admisitration worked with Congress to get it all fixed.

You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.
However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

. . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.
i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this. otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

Hi okami,
I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church. Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."
people fear change and the future and uncertainity.
this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that. it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.
