Sorry for the short diary, but the Godfather of Soul died this morning at age 73.
http://news.yahoo.com/...

James Brown, the dynamic, pompadoured "Godfather of Soul," whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a founder of rap, funk and disco as well, died early Monday, his agent said. He was 73.

Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday, said his agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music. Longtime friend Charles Bobbit was by his side, he said.

His contribution to American music cannot be denied. He launched the careers of greats like Fred Welsley, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, and Maceo Parker. James, you were an inspiration and a legend. You will always be remembered.

The Democratic Party's stance on Iraq, since before the 2004 elections had been fairly consistent and can be boiled down to a single phrase...

"Shit or Get off the Pot" or, if you prefer, "Fish or cut bait"

I have, like many here, been filled with disgust at the IM logs and e-mails from (now ex-) Rep Foley and have been pondering the correct response from the democrats in congress. I do not think it would be wise to make this a blatant political axe, but it needs to be addressed to remind people of the level of corruption and depravity that is now commonplace in the Republican Party. It is a tricky spot to be in, because the victim is a minor and does not need the attention. I will offer my thoughts on how to both take the moral high ground, and slap the crap out of the leadership.

First thought for the Democratic response: Below the fold...

Now, this probably should be a comment in an open thread, but there hasn't been one in a while.

I am sick of the whole gay marriage debate. It is time to kill the republican talking points. They claim that gay marriage will destroy marriage and that 'traditional marriage' is the only acceptable form. They look to their bible for justification, but seem to forget a couple key facts...

I have a pre-9/11 mindset. Those on the right accuse people like me of this. I have thought about it, at times refuted it, and have been angered by these accusations. Do you know what... THEY WERE RIGHT.

'Repugs are sodimites' - a gem from Andrew Sullivan

I am not one for short, impulsive diaries, but I was trolling the blogs and came across this gem. It should be a new meme: Republicans are Sodomites. On his blog, Sullivan posts his e-mails of the day. He received this gem from someone and I felt it worthy of sharing.

"I couldn't agree more with your comment on 'secularism gone nuts,' and hope nobody complains about my Virginia license plate. It reads 16 EZK 49 for the Biblical definition of the sin of sodomy (Ezekiel chapter 16, verse 49): "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." Who knew so many Republicans are sodomites??"

I apologize if someone else has wrote about this. I found it to be interesting. I did not see it when I searched. Without further adeau...

Iran has resently adjusted its stance on abortions to levels that would be unacceptable by GOP standards, proving Iran is more progressive than today's Republican Party...

According to the Middle East Times "Iran's conservative-dominated parliament adopted a bill on Tuesday that will allow abortions in the first four months of pregnancy..."

The article continues stating the reasons allowed for abortion.
"Abortion will be allowed ... within four months of gestation if the fetus is mentally or physically handicapped - inflicting a financial burden on the family - or the mother's life is in danger," according to the legislation"

Disclaimer: I am not a Theologian, but I will try to make my case based on what I do know of religion

God's gift to mankind was the gift of free will. It is what separates us from the Angels; God's first creation. Unlike Angels, who are infallible servants of God, God favored man and gave us God's most precious endowment; independence. God makes this point clear in Genesis when Adam and Eve were allowed to choose temptation over the word of God. God provides all of us with a map to salvation; we can choose the road that leads there or take the one that leads to damnation. However, God has made it clear that it is our choice to manifest our own destiny. Whether any of us believe in organized religion, all of us agree in the free will of man. It is this freedom and personal independence that inspired the founding of our great country. This, above all, is how the bible influenced our founders, not the 10 commandments. It is what the Bill of Rights emphasizes; our rights to control our own destiny.
