Bon, I think that was a part of why Scott and I ended up having a Protestant ceremony rather than an interfaith one (Scott was Catholic). We'd already agreed to raise our children Protestant, and although a Catholic priest would marry us in a ceremony at a Prot church, he'd have to be the one to do the marrying, and I'd have to agree to raise the children Catholic.

If it is mostly a formal ceremony that is important to Bob, you can certainly have that in a chapel or in a Prot church. Were you raised in any particular tradition?

So there's one of those "blog" thingies in the Chicago Tribune, and they have a thing on Britney: Britney's baldness stunt nothing to take a shine to

This is the first reader response post:

It is a tragic commentary of what has happened to our society, especially those gifted with money and fame. I DO feel sad for Brittney, because she has surrounded herself with people and a lifestyle that inevitably leads to nothing more than sadness and destruction. Even more sad is the fact that people advising her, especially those who supposedly care for her, will most likely not have the courage, knowledge, or strength to counsel her on what is good, right, true. Look in the mirror America. We are the most gifted-nation from our beloved God, yet we live the most immoral, destructive lifestyles. And we ask God 'why do you let acts of terrorism haunt us'? We are only reaping what we sow. Such a long, detailed subject.... Brittney's problems are just grains-of-salt in our American way. 'GOD BLESS AMERICA'... he has, but for how much longer?

Um.. OK. Why are they even publishing this letter (or do all reader posts show up)?

God will soon punish us for Britney's excesses. Huh.

I think the person was saying Brit's trouble are but a symptom of our national ailments. It's a weird association to make, though.

Bush compares war on terror to U.S. revolution

Anyone keeping track? The war on terror is like WWII, the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. It is, however, not like the Vietnam war.

Wait, or is the War on Terror not like the Civil War?

I need a scorecard.

Wait, or is the War on Terror not like the Civil War?

It's like the Civil War, except for the part that what's happening among the factions of Iraquis is NOT a civil war.

Oh, and we've always been at war with Eastasia.

I think Bush should compare the war on terror to Britney shaving her head.

How many world leaders is Bush like? So far he's compared himself to Lincoln, Washington, FDR and Churchill. He is also the anti-Chamberlain.

Who am I forgetting? Has he compared himself to Jefferson yet? Theodore Roosevelt? Kennedy?

I think Bush should

What I think Bush should do...would probably get me a stretch in Gitmo. Probably not physically possible, either.

I think Bush should compare the war on terror to Britney shaving her head.

No matter how often you shave it, it keeps coming back. You have to keep re-shaving it every few days. But you can go a little longer between shaves if you use a razor.

Not in my experience it doesn't. Or at least not enough of it.
