This is so wrong on so many levels...

Cindy Sheehan arrested in the House chamber before the State of the Union address

The stated reason for her arrest: "refusing to cover up a T-shirt bearing an anti-war slogan". She was an invited guest of a U.S. Representative, so trespassing wouldn't fly -- so they charged her with "unlawful conduct", which strikes me as a completely bogus charge. Any law she could possibly be violating is clearly in violation of the First Amendment -- what part of "Congress shall make no law" didn't they understand?

Trampling on the Constitution, in the very chamber where a traditional event it created is about to begin, is really bad form and shows the contempt George II has for civil liberties -- while spouting platitudes about spreading freedom and democracy around the world, how about remembering to defend freedom at home? How about it, Mr. President?

I hope the ACLU is all over this one.

Seahawks ordered to stop using "12th Man"

After reading what others had to say about this on KING's blog, I wanted to post my comments here to see if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Ah well, between this and George II pontificating, I think I've had quite enough bovine excrement to deal with this evening. I feel so much better getting it off my chest, so to speak.

The danger of quoting from the Bible out of context

Matt. 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Luke 10:37... Go, and do thou likewise.
