My blogger buddy Ken thinks wiping your butt with the 4th amendment is just fine. Those who would sacrifice freedom for a little security deserve neither. The terrorists succeeded on 9-11 because the airline industry failed, and the intelligence agencies didn’t have enough smarts to warn the president about terrorists who were taking lessons on how to take-off but not to land. It had nothing to do with cellphones and the internets.
I have found evidence of a connection between the laptop program and a campaign contributor. Huge link! Once I verify one last source I will post the info.
Did we know this all along?
As you know many media outlets and blogs have been covering Father’s story and how the church relieved him from his duties. I don’t know Cathal personally, as you know I’m a secularist (deist), so I have no stake in the outcome of his immigration proceedings. But it has got me thinking about how political churches have become over the past few years, especially the Catholic church in South Dakota. They seem to be telling people what and who to vote for from the pulpit. I even had one Catholic friend tell me that when Thune was running against Daschle there was a flyer handed out to parishioners during Mass that promoted Thune because he was pro-life. I personally disagree with churches being political. I think churches should strengthen people’s faith, not tell them what to do. One reason I don’t attend church is because of the money and political dealings and I find it to be very hypocritical of Christian doctrine.
Don’t get me wrong. Churches do great charitable work and should be commended for it. Especially the Catholic Church. That is what I find so bizarre about Father’s story. Why would the Catholic church provide help (in the form of food, housing, nationalization, etc.) to immigrants who are members of the congregation, but not to one of their own employees? Is it because one takes from the plate and the other puts into the plate?

You be the judge.
KELOÂ has announced that the presidential candidates may pick a running mate this week, and Thune is in the running. I hope McSame picks him. What a perfect match of two losers.

Councilor Bob Litz joked “I think the Shopping News has a larger Distribution.”
City Clerk Debra Owen commented that this has to be done according to state law to print legal notifications and added that the city spends about $90,000 a year with the AL. Brown made the comment that it should be available online since many people don’t subscribe to the paper. Owen says state law would have to change to accomodate that. Hey De, you are sleeping with the majority leader, why don’t you ask him about it.
The city could give me $45,000 a year and I’ll put their legals on my site. The AL is ripping the taxpayers off. I have always had that assumption since they push to subsidize everything from the Pavilion to a new events center. Enough Already.
