Ted Haggard, who, after several weeks of reparative therapy and a diagnosis of "straight", is getting back into the ministry. In his new role as overseer he will counsel and advise church leaders on moral, ethical and religious issues. That is precious. How any church could invite this man into their ministry is beyond me, but to place him in an advisory role? OMG.
A little late with this wish, but I hope all of you have a great holiday season. It is truly a time to get in touch with loved ones and share a little of yourself. Most of my loved ones live out of state, but I feel their love all the same. Let's get 2010 off to a good start and show some love!
In New York state, these are the eight democrats that are against equal rights for all Americans:
OMG. This is the best. After becoming the princess of the Christian right and fighting against ALL that is wrong, i.e. gay marriage, the beauty queen has an x-rated tape. How the mighty have fallen... pleasuring herself on film - what a disgusting, whorish hypocrite. Sheesh.
A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have.
I love it. As if the "news" from Fox channel is anything more than Republican spin. Sheesh. Everyone in the world knows that EXCEPT the ignorant 30% of our country that calls themselves Republicans.
Apparently singer Kanye West's MTV shananigans at the 2009 VMA's are enough to get the United States Presidents riled up. President Jimmy Carter is now taking aim at West's outburst against singer Taylor Swift. 
After Kanye West's ridiculous attention-seeking and brand-defining tirade Sunday night at the MTV 2009 Video Music Awards, just about every celebrity from Donald Trump to Kelly Clarkson to P!nk wasted no time ridiculing him in the press. It seems even U.S. President Barack Obama made an off-the-record comment calling West a 'jackass' for his tirade against 19-yr old country music star Taylor Swift.
Talk about a punk. Kanye West did not like the selection for best female video at the VMAs, so he storms the stage, grabs the microphone from Taylor Swift, and proceeds to brag up Beyonce. What a horrible disgusting LITTLE "man". He actually made Swift cry. Pathetic. Sheesh.
Asked by a caller about the option of asserting the Tenth Amendment as a tactic to reject a successful health care overhaul by President Barack Obama during a tele-town hall organized by the Republican Governors Association, Pawlenty said, "that's a possibility."
Read the bill, Representative Jackass:
It has happened again folks. A politician of the "republican faith" has been entangled in a sex scandal. Can you believe it? Of course you can't. And why do I ask such rhetorical questions, you say?! 
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, the last surviving brother in a political dynasty and one of the most influential senators in history, died Tuesday night at his home on Cape Cod after a year-long struggle with brain cancer. He was 77.
"The tornado in Minneapolis was a gentle but firm warning to the ELCA and all of us: Turn from the approval of sin. Turn from the promotion of behaviors that lead to destruction. Reaffirm the great Lutheran heritage of allegiance to the truth and authority of Scripture. Turn back from distorting the grace of God into sensuality. Rejoice in the pardon of the cross of Christ and its power to transform left and right wing sinners," according to Pastor Piper.
One lie after the other. I am on the mailing list for the "Family Research Council" and am amazed that every email from Tony Perkins is full of lies, half-truths and misleading statements.
OMG. This is great. The crazies that think humans and dinosaurs walked the earth together just 6,000 years ago owe nearly half-a-million in back taxes.
In an unexpected move, Sarah Palin announced that she is resigning as Governor of Alaska before the end of July. In an extremely disjointed speech, she did not give any concrete reasons NOR any indication of her future intentions. I think there is far more to this story than meets the eye...I can't wait to see what the next few days bring.
Finally, after months and months of depriving Minnesotans of two seats in the Senate, Al Franken has been declared the winner. Norm has become quite good at preventing progress, hell, he moved to the Republican party years ago to make it official.
Another fine Republican Christian that can't keep his dick in his pants. These are the same people that think marriage is too "sacred" for the gays, but they have no problem defiling their own beds.And then he has the nerve to ask the press to stay away from his family - too late for that, you reap what you sow, and so does your family. Boohoo.
Carrie Prejean finally had her crown taken away from her. It was not her opposition to same-sex marriage, nor her boob job, nor her nude underage photos (or lying about these photos). She simply did not fulfill the obligations of her contract. That is another sin, you know...breaking your word (otherwise known as lying). How the Christian right can embrace such a proud sinner I will never know, but they do.
What the hell are they thinking? Banning expression of political beliefs on a U.S. college campus. 
Have the Palins no shame? It's bad enough that the abstinence party has a poster child in the baby-birthing, unwed, slutty daughter Bristol, but to go on the national stage and discuss how realistic abstinence is? Sheesh. That is like Cheney promoting civil rights.
Not that I am surprised. No intelligent American ever believed the never-ending lies of Bush and Cheney. Denials of waterboarding, denials of torture. All lies.
Former Senator (and eternal egoist) Norm Coleman has filed another appeal in an attempt to steal his old seat from the winner of the election, Al Franken.
And, once again, I have waited until the last minute to complete my tax forms and file my returns. It isn't as if I am not prepared - I have had all of the tax forms on my desk for several months. It isn't like I forgot - since I think about those damn taxes everyday. I guess I just found plenty of other things I'd rather do, which leads me to tonight, the night I am FINALLY going to get them done. (uhuh).
Finally, a president that we can be proud of!
Yeah...I know... I still have some of their music on my iPhone, and yeah, I love their music, and I still think they are totally cool. To listen to the entire album, use the widget on the right-hand side of the page. It isn't available in the U.S. until April 11. (Just click the song title to listen, there is also small controller after song 11 that allows you to pause the song and begin play.)
It's about time that people be held accountable for their actions. Finally, Washington has asked General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner to resign as a condition of additional financial help from the government. (Incidentally, he has been CEO at GM for 8 years and with the company for 30)."On Friday I was in Washington for a meeting with Administration officials. In the course of that meeting, they requested that I 'step aside' as CEO of GM, and so I have," Wagoner said in a statement posted to the GM Web site.Now if we could only make the same, simple choices about the heads of the banking industry.
Okay. Now I understand that there may be challenges when group singing on live TV. I also understand that the premise of a singing talent contest is to sing. What I do not understand is how Idol can throw a singing competition where the contestants are lip synching their group numbers.
Always arguing the wrong side of every argument, Tony Perkins and the FRC have a problem with a new study that links spanking and physical punishment to bad adult behavior. The Family Research Council thinks hitting bad kids is okay, as long as it is viewed "in its larger context".
This made me more than a little nauseous this morning. Experienced male-prostitute buyer, cheater and meth user Ted Haggard is actually going on Divorce Court (with his 
The revelers were out in full force over the noon hour today in downtown St. Paul. I managed to avoid most of the drunks, (although there were a lot of them). I just wish I was feeling the same alcohol-induced intoxication that I observed. I also wish I didn't have to wait until 5 to join them.
I have been waiting to see how this unfolds, and it does not look good. Despite the chiding Obama gave AIG, it appears that they are under no legal obligation to listen.
We knew it was a lie from the start...Bristol and Levi are not getting married, despite the fact that as recently as last month the wedding was still on.
President Obama signed the Stem Cell Executive Order and Scientific Integrity Presidential Memorandum today, simultaneously, the U.S. joined the ranks of the scientifically enlightened.
Michele Bachman, the joke of Minnesota and the House of Representatives, once again placed politics over the good of our country.
Tatiana del Toro, the Idol wannabe that many love to hate, was given another chance by the judges Wednesday night. Tatiana was selected as one of the 12 finalists in the competition. Her over-the-top mannerisms and unusual laugh make her a front runner, or "dark horse" as the judges like to say.
And I couldn't be happier. His twenty minute speech at CPAC turns into 60, and the crowds cannot get enough. A bigoted, drug addicted, adulterous liar. PERFECT for the Republicans, and yet, just more of the same.
At 4:30 this morning I heard a vacuum cleaner running in the hall of my building. I got out of bed and stepped in water on the way to the front door. A waterline burst, and flooded the hallway AND the storage locker - MY storage locker - so I am spending the 
This week my friend Theresa asked me if I wanted to go with her to see Britney Spears and the Pussy Cat Dolls in concert. Her husband didn't care to go, and she thought of me right away. Of course my immediate reaction was a resounding YES, then I found myself slightly embarrassed to respond in the same fashion as a 15 year old girl, not a 40-something year old man (not that I really care).
Fast food giant McDonald's has denied workers compensation benefits to a minimum wage employee who was shot when he ejected a customer who had been beating a woman inside the restaurant. 
February is shaping up to be another brutal month of job losses: The number of laid-off workers receiving unemployment benefits hit an all-time high of nearly 5 million, and new jobless claims are at levels not seen since the early 1980s.
