A relative on my Facebook got pissy because God wasn't mentioned in the DNC platform! What happened to Freedom of Speech!
So I wrote there was a whole freaking platform on Faith. There were going to be opening and closing prayers each day by 3 Christian leaders and 1 rabbi. And , oh yeah, there are Americans of ALL Faiths and no faith. That personally I think it would be great if the DNC included more faiths in the official prayers including a Muslim and if an atheist were allowed to speak.
Then I posted the text of the Faith platform. I'll see if she responds.
I am glad your Dr. was honest with you. I was so annoyed with my dentist because he implied that having my wisdom teech pulled as an adult was no big deal, and instead I could barely eat for 2 weeks right before Thanksgiving.
I also wanted to call in today. My digestive system is not being nice, but it is because of stress and if I called in every day I was in pain from it, I would never go to work! I have also been having the most annoying stressful dreams. A few nights ago, I was rearranging furniture ALL NIGHT and could not get it right, and Chris Rock was supposed to buy a Christmas tree, and he bought a bad one. Then last night, I dreamt I wrote a play, and 2 friends from high school evaluated it. They proceeded to tell me how bad it was, and furthermore, how they hated me, I was a horrible person, not really their friend, and that they had been trying to tell me subtlely that I was not really their friend, but I was too stupid to notice. Then I tried to revise the play and they kept running away from me.

In any case, if I'm following the reporting correctly, they basically caved and put God back in.
They did cave and put God back in. But it's suppressing Freedom of Speech that God wasn't included! Feeling forced to put God back in means - Freedom of Speech is being protected.

Yup. And re-inserted the statement that Jerusalem is the capitol of Israel.

Yeah, they did. And since some of the people on the floor booed at the caving, the GOP is now claiming that the DNC booed God.
I hate the way they cave: it does them no good, and just makes them look weak.
I saw someone quoting scripture about how those that "bless Israel will be blessed" and that's why you should vote Republican. *shudder*
I cannot express how much I love Charter Communication's use of Twitter for customer service. Seriously good. Charter itself isn't great and it's expensive but I adore not having to phone in. Just tweet them and they do want you want in a few minutes.
OMG Charlie Pierce, I love him so:
I would crawl on my knees naked through four miles of crushed glass just to listen, on a bad radio, to a debate between Bill Clinton and the zombie-eyed granny-starver Paul Ryan.

That would be, to quote Garfield, like swatting a fly with a Buick.
