Gingrich Affair

Sorry (not really) my narrow minded (actually not narrow minded but rather single issue minded) conservatives, but I have to report this if for no other reason than to point out the continuing hypocrisy of the people you admire most and thus revealing the ease with which they "hook" you with their "lip service".
I know many of the worst of you conservatives long for Gingrich to run for the presidency, and indeed with no real Bush-like maniac yet running, Newt just might.
Newt Gingrich, while leading the wolf pack against Clinton for "messin with Monica" admitted during a recent interview that he himself was having an affair during the process. But Gingrich reasoned, that he is not a hypocrite. He followed this with the "code speak" so sought after by "born again conservative christian radicals by saying "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. ..... certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards."
Thats it; hes got them right where he wants them now. If only they would remove those rose colored glasses and really see the world for once

Jesus Tomb / Bones Found?

A documentary scheduled to air on March 4th on the Discovery channel, purports to have discovered the tomb and bones of Jesus as well as possibly that of Mary Magdalene and perhaps even that of a son of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, named Judah.
Remarkable, astonishing, heresy, sacrilege, miracle, debacle; pick your adjective or make up your own. None of it will matter of course to the Christian faithful. To them their beliefs will always remain the same. They will vehemently deny any and all attempts to pass this off as true, just as they deny evolution in favor of their creation story. Just as they deny the age of the earth is billions of years old, just as they deny that man is at least a couple million years old. To the "faithful" the world and all that is in it is only a mere 6,000 years old. Why? Because the bible tell them so.
It will probably never even be proven enough to satisfy science, much less Christians & Catholics worldwide and thats just as well because if you think the Muslims have their fanatical extremists, wait til you see what would happen if ever "proof", real proof were to come about disproving Christian beliefs.

Another one bites the dust

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust

This story perhaps gives new and unwanted meaning to the name "Queen" and their song
but never the less yet another member of the self righteous fanatical religious does indeed "bite the dust"
Me thinks maybe they should start building churches out of glass and give these ministers rocks in the collection plate as a reminder before they start with the demagoguery.
Oh yes the story:
Another outspoken critic of homosexuality; Baptist church leader Rev. Lonnie W. Latham who had supported a resolution calling on gays and lesbians to reject their ``sinful, destructive lifestyle'' was arrested outside the Habana Inn in Oklahoma City for propositioning an undercover policeMAN.
In an unfunny twist in the case both sides agree that nomoney proposal or exchange took place and therefor no crime committed. I Say unfunny because the prosecutor Scott Rowland said there is a ``legitimate governmental interest'' in regulating offers of acts of lewdness.
So much for our freedoms. Now even when something is legal, BUT the powers that be are not happy with it, they can arrest you, detain you, and try you anyway??? This is a HUGE step backward in freedom.
I have had people write to me asking , why it is that the bad stories get out more frequently than the good, and others (in the same vein) questioning why certain stories axuality in there "covered up". Well here we have two important stories; both negatives, and both under reported or reported not at all, one concernieng the typical do as I say not as I do, and the other trying to strip away our freedoms.

Disclaimer: I Personally oppose all attempts to legitimize the homosexual lifestyle as a "norm" or "alternative" lifestyle, but also believe that people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones, hence this article
