John Edwards - You're Whale Guano!

When I watched John Edward announce his Presidential Candidacy at a family member's home - I said "something's not right about him."  I just felt OFF about Edward.

Now I know why...

A Day to Bare Our Souls - and Find Ourselves

The lack of ritual makes Yom Kippur's power elusive for many. How do we make meaning from the holiest but most daunting day on the Jewish calendar? By Rahel Musleah My friend Anat dreads Yom Kippur. Fasting makes her grumpy, and by morning she already has a headache. Nor does the synagogue setting encourage atonement, meditation or self-reflection for her. As a nonobservant Jew, she says, "my relationship with God is such that I can't even begin to atone for what I do—nor do I want to. What's left are my relationships with other people, and I try to take care of those on a daily basis." Still, says Anat, the strong aura of the day, redolent of childhood and community, draws her to spend Yom Kippur in the synagogue. "If this is a holy day I'll treat it as such and stand with others around me. Every year I think about the millions of people who are doing exactly what I am doing on Yom Kippur. It doesn't matter how secular I am. This is my commitme...

IN THE NAME OF GOD This marvelous post was sent to me and after reading it - I have to repost it here. But please, go visit Howling Wind's blog and take a look for yourself. Sometimes people get it RIGHT! Howling Wind sure did. IN THE NAME OF GOD In the world of mankind, is there anything more arrogant than someone who hurts another human being and claims to do so "In the name of God"? Is there anything more evil than invoking God as your reason for inflicting pain on a friend, loved one or yourself? This, my dear friends of God, is the crown jewel in life's fantasy realm and continuing saga of stupidity in a search for justification of ones own character and personality flaws. This is the ultimate sin! Do I direct this at the Islamic groups that stone women for being themselves? How about the polygamists who take teenage girls into the bedrooms of grown men? Perhaps my anger is directed at churches who reject gays. How about presidents who inflict wars or exorcists...

BUSH ADMINISTRATION LIFTS ITS LEG ON ISRAEL Sometimes, I genuinely hate being right. During the initial Bush campaign I told people, "I don't trust Bush. You don't have to vote Republican or Democratic but this particular man is not to be trusted ." No good would come of him or his ilk. I felt it in my 'bones.' And I don't hate much - but if there is one person I truly hate - its a LIAR. Especially an arrogant LIAR who refuses to admit that they have lied or that they are wrong. Ugh. I had the opportunity to hear Mark Crispin Miller speak at the CUNY/Open Center Conference "Examining the Real Agenda of the Religious Far Right" a couple years ago. It was empowering and a shot in the arm when I was recovering from a personal trauma and needed some direction to put my energies into (or what was left after being a mom). In one of Miller's books, THE BUSH DYSLEXICON , he discovered something remarkable: Dubya has no problem expressing hims...
