You have a foolish, self-promoting pastor or you have an out of touch, let-them-eat cake, arrogant advisor and official surrogate and spokesperson who insults Americans. Which is worse?

Endorse This!

Here's what I don't get. Why didn't God just yell down, "Hey Jews, go back to Israel! Don't make me create some guy named Hitler to kill you and then, in a very roundabout way, make whoever is left go to Israel. Or Florida."

Wright and Wrong

Plenty of politicians like to have a brush with a war zone on their resumes, but some know that their encounters with the victims of war were a much larger issue than whatever personal peril they might have encountered.

This week, the Rev. Wright circus came back to town, and the media reacted like a giddy five year-old, giving his clownish act -- and Obama's acrobatic effort to avoid falling off the high wire -- wall-to-wall coverage. Getting far less airtime was the fact that April was the deadliest month in Iraq for US troops since September 2007. Fittingly, we also saw the 5th anniversary of "Mission Accomplished" -- which produced the quote of the week from Dana Perino: "President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said mission accomplished for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission." I'm surprised she didn't tack on "...for the next five seconds; after that, all bets are off."

Obama & McCain: Delusional Spiritual Ally Test

What if we were to disqualify all candidates with ties to delusional religious folks? A politician should not be held accountable for the views of every author he has read or every preacher he has heard.
