That bunch of gutless pubs, putting off the vote on Bolton. Email time to them starting with Lugar. old F--t, he needs to retire. And why do we not get anything done? The pubs are scared of the dims.

[kassie]

Prayers being said for you.

You are one ornery person!!!!!!!!!!

[gulfcoast6]

Good morning to you lady, have a good day at work.

For a lighthearted read that has nothing to do with news check out this column on Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House on the Prairie

Almanzo was born in 1857 and died in 1946. Think about the span of this man's life: He was born before the Civil War but lived to see the dropping of the atomic bomb.

Laura was born in 1866 and died in 1957. She was born during Reconstruction, traveled in a covered wagon, and then died in the same year that Sputnik I was launched.

During their lifetimes they went from meeting native Indians and seeing wild buffalo to seeing two world wars and witnessing the introduction of electricity, the telephone, penicillin, movies, television, air travel and space travel.

I will be sending an e-mail to WABC radio. Specifically John Bachelors radio show. I will paraphrase, John Loftus said that he could not wish him to die, but he does wish him a short reign.

Good morning. Need coffee.....lots.

Toby, you are in my prayers, always, but today I'll add extra.

[mware]

Sorry I guess I am still angry. The HIM is Pope Benedict XVI

[lysie]

Dreadful thing to say.

[lysie]

M., I don't blame you for being angry.

[LBKQ]

Prayers for you, dear Toby, as always!

[LBKQ]

Cannot wait to hear your continued rant.
;o)

Out of control???? I say it's a good day when I get to use not only Spaceballs and Monty Python references, but an added bonus of James Bond and Faberge Eggs in one single thread!!! Tell me that's not the Right Way!!!

(Umm...I also discovered that, whilst I may be able to get up in time for the Dawn Patrol, I don't have anything meaningful to say....;-))

Perhaps, but you say it with great style and finesse.

Good morning.

[LBKQ]

And we do????????

[Miss Marple]

Lugar put off the vote because of Voinovich's defection. If they had held the vote, it would have resulted in a deadlock and Bolton's nomination would have been stopped.

The delay gives us time to go after the troublemakers Hagel and Voinovich. Particularly Voinovich, who didn't inform anyone he was going to vote no until the last minute. What a weasel!

[lysie]

And we do????????

Good point, but we say it with style and finesse. :-)

[Miss Marple]

Ugh! I have noticed John Loftus is increasingly nutty, and he is NOT the expert he puports to be.

The reaction to Pope Benedict is similar to throwing holy water on vampires. A lot of people's hidden characters are being revealed.

[prairiebreeze]

I think the media reports are already becoming more venomous against the new Pope.

Check out the link in post 2804 this thread for an example.

Here's a couple of snips:

"If he continues as pope the way he was as a cardinal, I think we will see a polarized church," said David Gibson, a former Vatican Radio journalist and author of a book on trends in the church. "He has said himself that he wanted a smaller, but purer, church."

Critics complain Ratzinger embodies all the conservative instincts of the last papacy, but without John Paul's charisma and pastoral genius.

"I think this is the closest the church can come to human cloning," quipped Gibson.

And this:

"The name Benedict XVI leaves the possibility open for a more moderate policy," said the Swiss theologian Hans Kueng, whose license to teach theology was revoked by the Vatican in 1979. "Let us, therefore, give him a chance. As with the president of the USA, we should allow a new pope 100 days to learn."

But Kueng already has formed his judgment: "An enormous disappointment for all those who hoped for a reformist and pastoral pope."
