Just another day in in the New Murican' Century
And I got a headache
Tony Blair screwed up big time then jumped ship like the scaredy 05 neocons did here in the US, and left Gordon Brown to carry the can.
Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal will most likely be sealed up soon.
US Army Corps of Engineers will be defending themselves in court in the fall over the MRGO and other policys down in NOLA,
and the Chandeleur Island barrier is almost gone (bad thing for NO), going by Google maps, different zoom levels show old and new photos.

hair of the dog might help ;)
Thanks very much for the mention, Mike! It's always a pleasure. I recommend the election-year sermons post.

Tell me again why the hell these politically active 'churches' should have tax exempt status??
I followed the links to the article ( very long... but very well-written) about "Rev." Moon --- aside from being a whackadoodle, he also appears to be a person that hates America for it's freedom and has done everything --- especially supporting the right wing hacks --- in his power to destroy the American Constitution and government. That the Bush family has been so complicit in that fact is amazing to me... are the Bushies just useful idiots in the matter or are they tied at the hip?
Does the fact that the Bushies have taken so much money from the Moonies mean that they condone this preacher's vision for America? Has Moon's Washington Times endorsed McCain? If so, it seems that Hagee is small potatoes compared to the political corruption and monied influence that Moon wields. And to what end?
Ron Paul favors Obama!
In an interview on The Situation Room, Paul told Wolf Blitzer that endorsing Sen. John McCain, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, “would really confuse” his supporters “because they know we have a precise program and we have to defend that program.”
Having a Republican win the upcoming presidential election is “secondary” for Paul who is more interested in defending the Constitution, having the country go in what he considers the right direction, having a sound currency, and achieving balanced budgets. Paul parts ways with McCain over McCain’s support for the Iraq war, his approach to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and his willingness to spend federal dollars to support military operations in Iraq.
Instead, Paul favors Sen. Barack Obama because of positions on foreign policy.

Thanks C&L, Holy Crap is as ever wildly entertaining. Left Behind should just be called "behind".
The game demo, they can't even give it away! Love the pseudo-fundies endorsements too, pathetic!
