Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Paul Ryan is a conservative Catholic (supposedly) but was an apostle of Ayn Rand. I have heard him speak quite fervently about Rand and not about Jesus. I wonder, in my heart of hearts, if he really believes in God.
I saw one interview where he said that he believes in Ayn Rand's economic policies, but not her "philosophy," by which I assume he meant atheism. I'm not certain whether he counts her "charity is evil" position as economics or philosophy.
Young people especially are abandoning organized religion in droves. This seems to be entirely due to homophobia in many churches today.
Her writing (in total) runs pretty counter to the words of Jesus Christ (as I understand them. I have not been to church in awhile). I don't see how you can reconcile the two perspectives at all.
Great news, Suela!
Some Congressional districts are so small, it's not surprising there are minorities in the House who could never win in a general election.
I suspect we will have a female President, a Latino President, and a Jewish President long before we elect a Muslim or atheist. Or a gay President. Or a single childless President. There are a lot of boxes to tick off.
Didn't we have a single, child man elected president (Grover Cleveland?)- I think he got married while in the white house.
James Buchanan was single and childless, I'm pretty sure.
On the tube now is our President. He began his remarks recognizing and updating the storm victims, and he is talking to troops. One of the things that made my parental units crazy last night was the lack of acknowledgement of the military or the storm.
Awesome photos, Consuela. And great news on the assisted living information.
Kat, I hope a good solution presents itself soon, and mostly I hope Gracie is feeling better.

I think a Latino president who strongly identifies with the Latino community would be a lot more difficult in the current political climate than even a Jewish president. Like, someone with a Spanish name who could speak Spanish fluently would totally freak out a huge segment of the population.
