Dear Donald Trump, your presidential ambitions ended this evening.

Whatever hope Donald Trump had to run for president-based almost exclusively on picking the scab off the barely healing wounds on the body politic inflicted by the culture wars-is largely gone.

While Donald Trump has been spending his time descending from limousines long enough to hop in front of the nearest television camera in order to whine about birth certificates, the president has the distinction of capturing the bad guy.

I have really mixed feelings about this whole Osama Bin Laden thing-I cannt look at this whole thing as I would have 10 years ago. I can't simply do a fist pump and hoot about how awesome this is. To the extent that Osama Bin Laden was a violent man who advocated terrorism-I am glad that he's dead. But tell me this-if it took large numbers of people dying, trillions of dollars, if it took the most powerful and wealthy nation on earth 10 years to locate and kill ONE MAN-is this what's supposed to make us feel a sense of justice?

But one thing is clear-President Obama made this happen on his watch. Donald Trump's got nothing. I really believe this changes the dynamic.

Oil Pipe, Piper Laurie, excuse me what?!

Have you ever known who is Piper Laurie? Well, if not or if so, come jump with me to the other side…

Well, here we are on the other side (da udder side). Let me tell you something you may think you know, or maybe not, but Piper Laurie - Ms. Laurie if you're nasty...she was an actress (is she still alive? Gosh, if only there were a website on the internet about where to put in a person's name and it would out up a information about what she was doing in her life and whatnot.

But let's get to it-if there is anyone on the great planet of ours who would be better to appoint to stop the oil spill-I don't know anyone better than Piper Laurie to do that. She's got the brains, the fame, the moral authority, ample bossom, red hair, a tawny-rouge crown atop hear head...she how it shines!

Her name is Piper, like pipe-of-OIL! And she'd get the support of all the Sarah Palin supporters-the real reason they love her is because she gave her kids the weirdest yet oddly appealing names in the world like Trigger and Gunner and Spinner and Juicer and Tigger. So, Piper sounds like that too...Wassila defects for Ms. Piper Laurie.

You know what you need to do. Recommend this mother.

I'm with stupid

Short diary-need to leave the house but I'm furious! I just got off the phone with Cong. Dan Lipinski's office. Not only is he planning to vote AGAINST the healthcare bill, he has his staff actively identifying the congressman as part of the 'Stupak 12'...

This is a hastily written but heartfelt plea for some members of this community to moderate their comments about the death of Pope John Paul II. I write this, knowing that many people here on both "sides" of this issue are hurting.

To Roman Catholics, I extend my sympathy for the loss of your spiritual leader.

To all those who feel victimized by the church and its policies, I extend my sympathy for the very real hurt you have suffered. Read More

The United Church of Christ (UCC) has concerned itself for a long time with the issue of fair access to the public airwaves.

The part of the church specifically charged to champion the cause of fair and ethical representation of public issues in the media is called the "OC, Inc." (Office of Communication).

Chris Suellentrop of Slate has posted an article called, "The Right Rev. George W. Bush: Among the worshippers at the president's traveling revival show"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5625320/

The author of the piece gushes over George Bush and his ability to work a crowd like a revival preacher. A couple of points in this paragraph struck me as noteworthy:

"After last week's Democratic convention, I felt that John Kerry had become the favorite in the presidential race. Now, after only two days with President Bush, I'm not so sure. He's that good. Unlike many people, I'm not threatened by the president's religious rhetoric. It must be the Midwestern Catholic in me. Like the people in the audience, I find it familiar and comforting. I can see why so many people believe the president is "one of us," no matter how rich or how elite his background. And I can see that Kerry will have a tough time besting Bush in all three debates."
