A blunder by Byrd?

Simple. Elect a President who believes in the limitations prescribed by the Constitution for the Federal government.

So, then, we are destined to NOT reign it in because these ArseHoles in Congress won't STOP puttin' that crap in there and there are enough stupid voters to elect knucklehead presidents and CONgressmen? I hate that!

Bush will veto the bill, because he's not x42, thank goodness! What about in 8 years, though?

Appalachian Bible College, which had 186 students a few years ago?

From their web site:

Current matriculation is approximately 300.

Oh, and BTW, what ever happened to Separation of Church and State?

When this old Byrd dies, it's gonna be absolutely nauseating to hear all the encomia from the fawning media.

I expressed similar thoughts - about Helen Thomas - on another thread today. Unfortunately I was not familiar with the word "encomia" or I would have used it.

Think "Dick Cheney / Condi Rice" ...

And then in 16 years...

Sen. Byrd just went a little too far in breaking his word to the president.

Ruh Roh! That is the #1 No No with this President! I hope Robert Byrd goes down big time on this issue; that would be so SWEEET!!

Indeed.

Recall "Conservative" Alabama Senator Shelby getting a couple million for a statue for the Roman God, Vulcan?

I had thought of trying to find a website but had assumed they wouldn't have one. I see they have an "atheletic director." It sounds very nice for students who want that kind of education, but I still don't see why the U.S. taxpayers are supposed to pick up the tab for the new student center.

The faculty shows a regrettable lack of diversity. Maybe someone should question Senator Byrd about Appalachian Bible College's stance on such vital issues as diversity and interracial dating. Remember the grief candidate George W. Bush got for setting foot on the Bob Jones University campus (where some of the ABC faculty were educated).

Great idea. Think I'll try to get this to the Washington Post.
