Mistakes We Have Made

We cannot abandon mistakes we have made. We cannot leave the scene of a tragedy. We cannot avert our eyes to the inhumane set of events put into motion before, during, and after September 11, 2001.


Yes, many of us protest against additional bloodshed. Many are arrested for doing so. These acts, while noble, are not enough. We must go out and work to wash the sins of our country and, barring success at that, make those most responsible pay dearly for what they have done. And while the innermost animal inside of me does indeed want to bring harm to men and women who propagate war, sectarianism, and hate- I know this way it cannot rightly be.

Take a Hint

THE CATASTROPHE THAT
WALKS LIKE A MAN
(WHO HAS PEED HIMSELF)

The closing comments the other night, on HBO's "REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER"



"Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's speaking to you. Mission accomplished.

"Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're saying: there's so many other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.

"But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a sh***y president, but even he never conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes. On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side.

"So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.' "

God & Bush

'Nuff Said

Best Butt-Kisser EVER!

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- U.S. Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers told George W. Bush in a 1997 birthday card that he was "the best governor ever" and, in a separate note to her boss, said she hoped his twin daughters recognize their parents are "cool."

What is a Christian?

If one claims to act as a Christian, then he or she inevitably must follow the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. (The name of who we are supposed to follow is in the name, folks.) And God's will, if one is consider one's self Christian, includes the covenant "Thou Shall Not Kill" and "Love Thy Neighbor".

Those who proclaim they act in the Christian way and fail to do so because of the natural fallibility that within the human spirit, have every right to call themselves Christians. That is, IF they are willing to see that God's words, when interpreted through the eyes of women and men, become fallible through that very interpretation. God's Words and Will be done, become imperfect when seen through the eyes of humankind.

How arrogant must must we be to believe that we can understand the will of a Deity so far beyond our capability to comprehend. It is as as silly a belief if we were to believe that an ant understands the will of man. Man cannot truly understand the will of God, nor speak in his name without tragic consequences. This is a truth that can be found throughout history.

Bush's major speech

"One of the problems that haunted the US during the Cold War was the tendency to see all regional conflicts through the prism of the US-Soviet rivalry. As a result, conflicts were either locked in place or exaggerated. Much the same thing may be happening again in Chechnya and Palestine, to cite two cases. By lumping all of these conflicts into one global struggle, we lose sight of their individual origins and potential solutions." By James Zogby from article at:
