Why a Hairstyle Made Headlines (4 Bag Barf Alert)
The Washingtpn Post and Drudge ^ | 7 April 06 | Robin Givhan

When Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) summoned the media to Howard University last week to tell her side of the story in an altercation with a Capitol Police officer, she assumed the traditional news conference position behind a podium and a bank of microphones.

They are still Christians. They just rejected the whole 'Christian music industry' mold that everyone was trying to put them in. They got kicked out of their church over their refusal to sign with a christian label. 'Unequally yoked', they said. Stupid.

As far as Doug, he just goes out of his way to offend religious people, if you know what I mean. I think he's deeply hurt. He takes this 'hobby' of his to an extreme, where I'm concerned that it borders on being self-destructive.

Anyway, those guys are mostly responsible for my salvation. It sounds cheesy to say that a couple of albums affected me that deeply, but they did.

Be blessed, bro! (by the way, this new album is very Dogmannish.)

This article is so ridiculous and childish. It reinforces why liberals are so mentally and morally stunted.

BTTT! Indeed. And such a fine line the leftie, whiney ladies like Robin Givhan tow! Would she be so critical of Oprah

or Queen Latifah?

(Hint: Depends on if they agree with her politically.)

Yeah, Robin, I didn't think so! BTW, I'm a big fan of Queen Latifah.
