My week(s) in review: I missed last week, so here is a double dose.
Wow, this must be a really slow news day. There are so little facts given in this story. It probably happened, but it is not news worthy of the front page of CCN website.
He's been consistent. This is just a ploy from his opposition.
Robertson pointed to part of state law that defines harassment as: "repeated incidents of intrusive or unwanted acts, words, or gestures that have a substantial adverse effect ... on the safety, security, or privacy of another."
This is just sad—and sad to see the responses in the comments on the Star Tribune about this. For me I guess I am more inclined to believe Carol Race and to think some of this is being blown out of proportion. Many point to the video hook up in the basement as being a solution. It is not. In that case Adam Race can stay at home and watch a service on TV.
I remind myself I am not at this church and I don’t personally know these people. What I do know is that I was once involved in my Catholic church. Since having children with autism I am less involved and it is directly related to how the church as a whole has dealt with our family’s special needs. I had the naive belief that of all the public institutions that we deal with the church would be the easiest because they would want to help. For us the church was the toughest. I was wrong. This has not changed my belief in God, but it has changed my approach to church.
“Mr. Obama made clear, however, that he would work to ensure that charitable groups receiving government funds be carefully monitored to prevent them from using the money to proselytize...”
Ironic that the "precious metal" chalices were stolen from the Bishop's residence. (see http://tinyurl.com/6qezao)
Good advice to remember: Your "best" will vary from time to time.
The theater in my home town is up for sale ($50,000). Hmmmm....
But not seriously. I was emailing with another person from my hometown who told me the place has been sub-divided into apartments. Also the building is in really bad shape. (Hence the price.)
I have never understood why my home town of cannot support a movie theater of some kind since we have a state university—tons of customers.
I had never heard about this one.
This kid should know better. My liberal bleeding heart thinks he needs to be taught a lesson.
I didn't know that he and his wife had adopted a disabled child.
That still doesn't excuse the hate that he spread.
My friend took these pictures. Wow--it is so cool. Goodbye coal plant.
Interesting article. I'm reading all this and somehow my mind is wandering to the breakup of the Beatles. I've seen beautiful work at the Jeune Leune. I've seen work I didn't connect with. Selfishly, I hope the artists stay in the Twin Cities. After all the rumors of the infighting perhaps it is best to go in separate directions. I hope we don’t lose the stage. I was OK (for the most part) with seeing the old Guthrie go because it was such an old shape and size—no other company in town would really use it. But the Jeune Leune building could be used by a number of companies.
Wow! This is such good news.
"They like the idea of financing campaigns through small contributions from a lot of individual contributors, which is what Obama has done,"
Wasn’t this a flip-flop on McCain’s part? Didn’t he say something about not taking public financing, but is doing it anyway?
“...by the time Guru Pitka (Mr. Myers) says “Mariska Hargitay” to Ms. Hargitay herself, it’s somehow less amusing than it should be. Which might sum up “The Love Guru” in its entirety…”
It’s a pity. I think Mike Myers can be really funny—but I had NO interest to begin with to see this movie.
This is a really fun set of pictures from the new 35W bridge construction site. The bridge is going up so fast. Last time I drove by the site they almost had one side half way over the river.
McCain, the next Bush president? It would be just more of the same.
Obama, Obama, Obama!
I agreed with the headline. And the thesis that this attack mode is based on the opposition thinking that the public is stupid.
What is this? Must read. (In high school my answer to any question about whether or not I was working on something was "I'm organized!") I took a look at the website. I may try this out.
Oh no... not again... (However, I did prefer his DHS policies over Pawlenty's)
When does Lambeth begin?
But like most people I know from Pennsylvania, he left. (Although he does come back on weekends.) (I'm catching up on my reading)
"And while that seems plain enough, early interpreters and the Bible itself raise a lot of questions about how literal the meaning of the passage is."
Ahh, we are back at figurative vs. literal.
