Oh, and I meant for my first post of the day to be more cheery than that.
Happy Birthday, SailAweigh!!!
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
but basically he was arguing that if the media knew about this for a year they should have done something about this and because they didn't it's all their fault.
Cool! So it's all Fox's fault.
(Yes, Fox knew about it for at least a year.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
somebody must have told him was a half-step away from blaming a "vast left-wing conspiracy".
Ehh, Gingrich already did just that. Hastert's just leaving it to the experts.

Thank God.
Heh. I was thinking more like "not fast enough".
And I was thinking, "Since WHEN?" Because it's still Jesusland here in Ohio.

Ohio is where Christian teenagers move to when they get tired of being in a minority.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Speaking of which, have folks heard of Red State (the movie)? I've ordered the DVD - maybe we can have a Chicagoista viewing... thing.
But the point of this site, and the film, is hopefully more than commercial. The film was created with a simple premise; knowing what was known in 2004 why would anybody vote for George W. Bush? And while the movie gives us some insight into this question it was never intended to be an end in itself but a beginning.
A beginning of a conversation.
A conversation that will take us away from objectifying and demonizing others so that we may see our problems and differences clearly. A conversation that acknowledges the humanity of “the other side” and hopes to find compromises and solutions, where possible. But a conversation that does indeed see the threat to liberty that some among us present and has as it’s ultimate goal the eradication of this threat.

Well from what I understand, the more socially conservative denominations are growing, Catholics are increasing (immigration is probably a factor here), and mainline denominations are shrinking. On the other hand, the non-religious are growing. The best I could find in data is this article, but it's four years old. So it's a complex picture.
