Citing a lack of time, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson withdrew Tuesday from the team overseeing counseling for the Rev. Ted Haggard, the evangelical pastor who was fired amid allegations of gay sex and drug use.

"Emotionally and spiritually, I wanted to be of help - but the reality is I don't have the time to devote to such a critical responsibility," Dobson said.

Heh. "Sorry you're drowning; here's an anvil."

Allyson, green chili in chicken noodle soup. Magic.

Ugh, sorry for the sick, Allyson.

Well Virginia is almost surely going to be recount and no answer tonight. Montana and Missouri have too few results to guess. Tennessee still too close.

I think I have to call it a night. G'night Natterbugs.

Pray for Missouri and Claire McCaskill. Still too close to call.

I know it's losing Aimee, I just hope it loses.

Well, obviously.

We are about to vote against funding clean energy.

No offense but I actually have issues with that proposition and I don't think it makes me a goober.

I have issues with most of the propositions on the California ballot. I automatically vote against all changes to the state constitution, and a lot of the bond measures, which left me with... not much to support. I honestly believe that government-by-referendum isn't either efficient or appropriate, since an even smaller percentage of the general public is going to understand the fine print than of the legislature. And the legislature is hired to develop, understand, and pass laws.

... err.

t gets off high horse

Oh, Consuela, I am with you. Though I would totally support a ballot initiative that would mandate a salary reduction for all elected officials each time an initative is added to a ballot.

t stands behind Kristen on that. nd most of what Consuela said.

Voting in CA used to drive me nuts! The study guide with all the candidates, positions, rebuttles and re-rebuttles were ridiculous! You need Cliff Notes!

Ok, I have.to.go.to.bed.now.
