The Christian Sacrement of Marriage

From the Bible...

When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. Deuteronomy 24:1

and

If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate.... But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
Deuteronomy 22:13-17

Just The Facts, Please

Why do middle-class folks ever vote Republican? It's like stubbing your toe and then electing to cut off your foot to punish the toe.

You know where the disparaging story came from regarding Michelle Obama - the Republicans just can't stop lying - it's part of the reason they are Republicans.

American Education - Is It Any Wonder?

I'm a retired teacher from a public school system in New York State. I was always proud of the work we did with the best students - those who were dedicated and committed to their education. But there are a lot of weaknesses in our system - not the least of which is "No Child Left Behind" - which forces the same curriculum on every child in the nation, no matter what their interests or background.

Another problem we face in educating our youth to a higher standard are the forces we fight against because of who we are - a nation of immigrants - with differing cultural and religious backgrounds. Just as an example, how do we educate buffoons like the child depicted in the cartoon below? You can't fight it when some folks just WANT to be stupid.

Roger Ebert to Bill O'Reilly

"Bill, I am concerned that you have been losing touch with reality recently. Did you really say you are more powerful than any politician?

That reminds me of the famous story about Squeaky the Chicago Mouse. It seems that Squeaky was floating on his back along the Chicago River one day. Approaching the Michigan Avenue lift bridge, he called out: Raise the bridge! I have an erection!"

Too Funny for Words

Rush Limbaugh is blaming Obama for Mark Sanford's (Republican Governor, South Carolina) illicit affair. Even though the affair started long before Obama got elected. How stupid does one have to be to listen to this crap? I laughed out loud when I first saw reference to this on Daily Kos. Listen to the audio below.

Regarding Governor Sanford and His South American Tryst.

Regarding Governor Sanford and his trip to visit his Argentinian girlfriend, from Flossy on Gawker...

In all fairness to his aides, "I'm getting some Argentinian tail" sounds a lot like "I'm hiking the Appalachian trail"

And Fox News has found a way to make the whole scene less deplorable for Republicans - pretend he's a Democrat. Their viewers are so stupid they won't know the difference anyway.

Political Joke

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut.

After the cut, he tried to pay but the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.

When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a Thank You card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop came in for a haircut and when he tried to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a Thank You card and a dozen donuts waiting at his door.

Then a Congressman came in for a haircut and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.

The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.

Mailbag

Dear Constituent,

I regret having the affair, taking the bribe, lying to the committee, sitting on the report, raiding your trust fund, hiding the evidence, fudging the numbers, cooking the books, blocking the investigation, leaving the filthy voice mail message, spilling the beans, fabricating the facts, sending the inappropriate email, granting the crony special favors, dodging the question, violating the ethics code, missing the deadline, blowing off the meeting, circumventing the proper procedures, throwing the tantrum, leaking the classified information, covering up the money trail, accepting the unlawful gifts, destroying my opponent's reputation, playing the race card, egging on the crazies, making the crude analogy, deleting the files, cutting off the funding, violating the protocol, starting the bar fight, speeding through the red light, shouting obscenities during the commencement speech, and kicking the cat.

I assure you it was all just a simple misunderstanding.

Sincerely,

[Name Withheld]
United States Congress
Washington, D.C.

P.S. Please donate to my re-election campaign. Together, we can make a difference.
