I am adopted. I am also a Christian. I also believe that gay couples should be allowed to adopt. We have thousands of children in Arkansas cought up in foster care. The irony is that those kids were not the product of a gay couple. They were a product of heterosexual couplings by often times unprepared, irresponsible, and selfish men and women. Churches focus on the sex...as in "Oh, your a man and had sex with a woman and bore in illegitimate child, well, you are allright." But tell them you are a responsible, loving, stable gay couple who wants to give children a home filled with love and a future, well, you might as well be telling them you are Satan.

On to another topic...I work at a local hospital. Lately these very intelligent men and women I work with have been coming to work showing emails and such off the net that basically tell them that Obama is the Anti-Christ. And where are they getting this info? From their preachers of course! Oh, and McCain (a.k.a McNasty) is A-Okay according to the preachers. This kinda crap infuriates me to no end.

This Wall Street Journal editorial is asking some questions about Mack McLarty's past involvement in a telephone company called "Fusion Telecom", which does business with Telco Haiti - and some possible nefarious dealings with Jean Bertrand Aristide.

Max, Were the initial fund raising goals met? Do they need more now? If so where might a hillbilly like myself send a contribution?

Thanks

Eight Belles is a hilariously apt metaphor for Hillary's campaign. Finished second, put to sleep.

Prouster, that's a horrible thing to say. Nothing is hilarious about a horse breaking both its legs and dying.

Hey maxs it will be better for a child be raised in an orphanage than in a home of queers, or as you say, same sex partners......
At no time in a person's life does he or she ever needs to hear the word that describes what these people do. NO TIME!
Why in the hell can't you see that? The mojority of people abhor these people.

chasv, you need to read this website and see this movie - www.ForTheBibleTellsMeSo.org. The film was recently screened at Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church; I'm sorry you missed it. :-)

I saw Eight Belles run at Oaklawn and was very impressed with her. I saw Big Brown run and was very impressed with him. I hooked those two for my exacta and it paid off. Too bad Oaklawn would allow us to play the Oaks/Ky Derby daily double or I would have had that, too. Very sad about Eight Belles.

"I think Rupert Murdoch is making this link available for free:"

If so, you'd better grab the link or any other Murdoch freebie while you can. When Murdock took over the WSJ, he talked about eliminating paid subscriptions to the paper's Web site to make it more competitive with the NY Times' free site. But as determined as Murdoch is to overtake the Times as "America's Newspaper of Record" for the power elite, he is no fool; he dropped the idea when somebody explained that a million people are willing to pay $80 and up for their annual WSJ online subscription.

Prouster - when you're out for your morning jog tomorrow morning I certainly hope you don't seize up.

Think of the sudden terror that you will feel in your heart and mind. You will be able to feel your heart beating in your throat. You want to get up but can't. After all, you've been bred to run and that's your whole joy in life.

I doubt there will be a benevolent soul there to give you a shot to ease your pain. I guess you'll just have to lie there in terror.

debra I am not sorry I missed it neither should you. If you can't read and understand the Holy Bible you are the one missing it.
Oh, I would not watch anything promoted by the methodist church.
By the way, Jake, comments on here are like votes. You have to vote your convictions.

Hey, chasv, you shouldn't talk about Republicans (queers) that way. Some of them are actually nice people. You might want to go back and retake first grade grammar, too.

I'm not laughing at the horse's fate. But I am having a chuckle over the poetic irony of Hillary saying "Bet on the filly" and then the filly places second and has to be euthanized. If you cannot appreciate irony you really are a stick in the mud.

(I'm avoiding mind-numbing *dialog* with the chasvs of the world this beautiful night.)

Death is not irony.

chasv - you're the one missing it. I feel sorry for judgmental imbeciles like you. Living a life of fear and hate must be quite lonely.

Agreed Goof.

You're smart Hugh.

I think a more accurate statement would be that most of the voices in chasv's head hates gays. And imagine someone who thinks the Methodist churches are rabid sleeper cells for the devil.

What's the matter chasv, you won't go to a church unless they handle snakes, roll on the floor and talk in tongues? I am so happy I won't be going to heaven when I die! I've had my fill of loving Christians in this life. Ahhh for the peace and quiet of my little urn!

Conservative estimates place the current price of the Iraq invasion/occupation at over 500 billion dollars.

We have 154,000 troops deployed there.

That breaks down to over 3.25 million dollars per troop.

/what a f*ckin' racket

Or we could have given every Iraqi man, woman and child a check for $20,000.00.

Most of us realize that someday, before too long, if chasv keeps bashing outwardly those detestable "queers" he may have conquered that strange, forbidden feeling he keeps locked in the closet.
Perhaps using this blog to project such fears and self-repulsion is good therapy for chasv. There's likely thousands like him scattered across Arkyland. A shrink once told me they bark the loudest.
.

The shrink is right, L.

See Senator Larry Craig and Preacher Ted Haggard, who was president of the National Evangelical Association. Both have been on record over and over as exponents of God's Holy Word and bashers of homosexuality; incidentally, both also have sex with other men.

Take note, chasv.

Leave us not forget that after we hung him very very sloppily I might add....THEN we find out that Saddam offered to leave Iraq for 1 billion dollars. All this shit could have been avoided! That's right folks, for the price of one moderately equipped Stealth bomber Cheney could have paid Saddam to go away and he and Exxon could have stolen all the Iraqi oil without killing 4071 US troops and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis.

Congress spends more in a month for hookers, for crying out loud. Now we got guys getting killed on their 7th tour of duty. And one must question the sanity of anyone who would go into combat 7 times in this day and age. Pull Pryor's head out of LIEberman's butt and get him to offer up a bill barring more than 3 tours of duty in this or any other war unless we see the Red Chinese approaching our shores. Then we'll need every one of our troops to help us evacuate Americans to Canada and Mexico as fast as we can go.

The talking heads are all saying Americans have forgotten the war since the economy has hit the skids. Well...this American hasn't. And fie on anyone too caught up in their sliding stocks and bonds to notice that 71 more lives have been lost and 71 more families have been destroyed since we observed the 4000th death in Iraq just the other day. I'm still wearing out my Solo cups changed the numbers on my fence. We still got chickens coming home to roost, but it's in the form of black body bags under American flags....you know the ones that Bush won't let you see.

Why not if we get Pryor's head pulled out of Joe's ass....why not get him to type up a bill that changes the date that the next President takes over? Screw January! Let's make it November 5th, 2008. Why wait so more people can die for nothing. Why wait for our banks to close and the stock market to go out of business too? Why listen to a one extra day of lies and garbage coming out of OUR White House?

We moved the swearing in once before, from March to January.....let's move that sucker up to November and get jiggy with righting the wrongs our government has committed against us and the rest of the world. We don't need one extra day of Cheney-Bush misery. The sooner we get new folks in the White House the sooner we might see the old ones behind bars and or hanging from the gallows. We got daylight savings time....why not America savings time! Do it!

Great one DBI !

IS the media shield being lowered? -

"My friends, I will have an energy policy which will eliminate our dependence on oil from Middle East that will then prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East." --McCain, May 2, 08

Chris Matthews opines:

"You know, if somebody else were to say that, they would be accused of being a communist, or radical, or a leftist.for John McCain, a war hero, to say that we're fighting in the Middle East to protect our oil sources is an astounding development." --ibid

Thanks Lwood!

Louisiana had a couple of elections this evening.. The underdog progressive Dem beat the GOP KKK candidate who the GOP funded with 4 million bucks! (details at my name)

If David Duke country is willing to wake up and vote left... Arkansans ought to be able to boot Boozeman, Ross and Pryor!!

Last night I attended a candidate forum in my home county sponsored by a rural volunteer FD. The current County Judge/Head Road Grader talked mostly of road issues, and not attracting a new tax base or creating private sector employment. Several in the audience (white, and mostly elderly "democrats") complained about "too much money of the property taxes going to schools and not roads".

Then this same CJ whom said earlier that the county had little tax base, stated that he was going to oppose the state lottery, one audience member stated "the lottery is going to be the ruination of this county"

Oh, God. This is so hard to admit. But soon after I realized, several years ago, I was a female trapped in a male body (sort of a Jody Foster desperate to emerge from John Travolta), I embarked on my hormonal and surgical journey to joyous self-realization.

90% of the way through my metamorphosis (you know: hormones, counseling, implants, lipo, dermabrasion, hair extensions, Mary Kay makeover lessons, etc., but NOT the final nip and tuck because my plastic was maxed out), I met Chasv on a barstool at Cajun's.

I'll never forget it.

Blond, sweet, affectionate, liberal, Democrat, a little dim, Chasv was everything I'd ever dreamed of in a man. Yes, I can say it now: a Sweet Stupid Stud.

I was smitten.

We went home to my place. A single-wide in back of a magnificent Chenal estate, where I was working as an au pair for the three adorable children of a prominent local judge and his wife.

My custom king-size Sealy-Posturpedic, which pretty much took up my entire single-wide bedroom, was laid out like a midget golf-course. Nine holes, par three. OMG! Chasv turned out to be a "golfer" par excellance! A Tiger Woods of the mattress! Only white.

Even after he discovered my "secret," he went on to score a hole in one off the ninth tee!

But next morning, as I scrambled his eggs for breakfast, I detected a subtle change in Chasv's attitude. "You motherf@#king c%*cks!&king queer!"

Something told me the romance wouldn't proceed much further. Indeed: turned out Chasv was a closeted Republican trying to escape a Democrat upbringing.

Because a Democrat would've shared breakfast with me and tenderly said, "Look. I didn't realize. We were drunk. Last night was wonderful and you're a sweet . . . uh . . . guy turning into a girl. But that's not me. Have a good life and here's a twenty."

Instead of, "You motherf@#king c%*cks!&king queer!"

Chasv, bless his heart, kept leaving obscene threatening messages on my phone in the ensuing weeks after our passionate tryst. I took out a restraining order.

But, you know? It's funny how God works in mysterious ways.

I've often thought of our hearts - Chasv's and mine - briefly beating as one, now that I'm fully transitioned, happily married to a driver for J.B. Hunt and having adopted the three children I once au paired for the Chenal Judge and his wife (he was convicted on 14 felony counts for construction kickbacks and she's doing 5 to 10 for running a meth lab out of Bretagne Circle).

The adopted children are happy. I'm happy. My husband, Derrick, is happy. We're a family.

But more importantly, I steered Chasv toward Jesus. In whose name, he says, he proclaims on this blog to this day.

Yes, Chasv, it's all about the love.

[Sen. Clinton criticizes Exxon Mobil selloff]
http://dailybriefing.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/05/01/sen-clinton-criticizes-exxon-selloff/

"There is something seriously wrong with our economy when Exxon's record $11 billion in quarterly profits are seen as a disappointment by Wall Street," Clinton said. She went on to use the company's latest gains to reiterate her call for a gas tax holiday - a proposal has been criticized by economists who say it won't result in lower prices for consumers. "I believe we should impose a windfall profits tax on big oil companies and use that money to suspend the gas tax and give families relief at the pump," Clinton said.

"Where's all that cash flow going if it isn't flowing into earnings?"

"With Exxon shares trading near an all-time high even after Thursday's decline, Van Batenburg views the latst quarter as part of an effort to sidestep what he calls a "backlash" against energy-company profits. "If I were Mr. Tillerson I'd do the same thing," he says, referring to Exxon's CEO."

"Keeping America competitive requires affordable energy. And here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world. The best way to break this addiction is through technology. Since 2001, we have spent nearly $10 billion to develop cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable alternative energy sources -- and we are on the threshold of incredible advances."

"...new technologies will help us reach another great goal: to replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025. By applying the talent and technology of America, this country can dramatically improve our environment, move beyond a petroleum-based economy, and make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past." --G.W. Bush

Politicians mis-speak.
Politicians lie.

We know that politicians are lying, why don't we throw them out?

Norma, you are some sick o. You are not real.

For a time I have to agree with dbi. I heard Bush on Fox lie his butt off. What was so bad he thinks everyone believe his lies. He is the damnest lier there has ever been.. He lies about the oil and gasoline and drilling holes and lies about searching for more energy when he and the oil companies are sticking it to us. His lies are his excuses he uses to raise oil and gas prices.

Folks can't ye see it?

I have never seen a man who would look you straigth in the eye and lie like he does thinking we believe it... He should be in the nut house, not the white house.

Talk about obama's pastor hating america, well at least he says what he thinks, but Bush and company won't tell the truth that he hates america and doing all he can to destroy it.
