What’s the background on Thomas K. Jones?

Homo?

Is this a “real” bill, or one that is not going to leave committee. If real, then get a lawyer and sue.

This isn't a bill. It is a letter sent from the state of Connecticut's Office Of State Ethics in an effort to intimidate the church and silence their first amendment rights.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Then call the Thomas More law center, and start a counter offensive.

Stop being nice, start being good.

Here we go again. I thought they learned their lesson the first time around.

[Man50D]

Stop being nice, start being good.

Good idea. I did contact my state Rep. and Senator's offices. I let their aids understand in no uncertain terms the actions by the state are at the very least reprehensible as this act of intimidation is a deliberate attempt to silence a dissenting point of view and therefore violates the church's first amendment rights and could be used on other groups if it is allowed to happen. I also called a local radio show and urged listeners to get involved.

Oh btw, I bet the mosques will not be affected.

Obama: Man of the World

Snip:

“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

Moreover, Mr. Obama’s own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn’t sure if his grandfather’s two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite. (O.K., maybe Mr. Obama should just give up on Alabama.)
