On the Show Today
Zarqawi in the Vise: American and Iraqi Forces inch ever closer to nabbing Zarqawi. Time could be running out for him. What will his capture mean for Iraq--and us?
Conservatives Sell Out: Conservative politicians like Sen. Sam Brownback won't protect the border--but they will protect the flag from being burned. Are they trying to buy your vote?
Kennedy Goes to Rehab: Kennedy made his apologies and turned himself over to the Mayo Clinic. But is he still a threat to society? And what should we do about those cops who gave him special treatment?
Good morning Bahbah...thanks for the ping! Gen Hayden's nomination will be announced at 9:30 a.m. EDT...I hope the darn Republicans get back into line. I am getting SO tired of the Congresscritters jumping ship over the least little thing. And then there's Arlen Specter.

Did not my heart go with you . . . ? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing? 2 Kings 5:26
While visiting a US Civil War battlefield in Virginia, I was struck by a story about an army unit that arrived too late for a major battle. The troops had stopped to loot a camp abandoned by their enemy. By taking what they felt they needed, they could not accomplish their mission.
That seems to describe the failure of the prophet Elishas servant Gehazi, who sought money and clothing from Naaman, a Syrian military commander (2 Kings 5:20-25). Elisha told Naaman how to be cured of his leprosy, but he refused any gift or payment from him (v.16). Gehazi, however, decided to get something for himself (v.20). In a stinging rebuke, Elisha said to Gehazi: Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing . . . ? Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever (vv.26-27).
The desire for personal gain can be a snare in our service for the Lord. It may be the subtle lure of recognition or the fatal attraction of financial reward. Any motive that changes our focus from giving to God to getting from Him poses a real spiritual danger.
Greed makes us believe that we deserve what we desire. That leads us down the wrong road. May God give us the wisdom to avoid the sin of Gehazi.
Gods riches fill up our supply,
Whatever we may need,
So we can then be generous,
And not controlled by greed. Sper
Live to give.
The Tony Detector is armed and ready. If anything shows up, you'll be the first to know.
The last info that I had was that Tony would be traveling with the President though Wednesday, and that the first regular briefing is due Thursday. But, I am sure everything is subject to change.
They need to change the White House Briefing Page:
Here!! Did ya'll miss me???
Thank you for the ping, Bah!
