[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

Regarding abortion, it shouldn't be limited to pregnancy.  I have a 15 year old and it should be legal to take him out.  Why give me a tiny little window when I don't know yet what life will be like with that baby?  Now that I know this irritating, damaged, oppositional child, I should have the choice to "abort" him now.

Bishop?  I have never had one.  I don't know what the heck religion they are in -- Catholic?  Mormon?  Church of England?  Anglican?  Greek Orthodox?  Episcopalian?  I don't even know their function.  I was raised in a Baptist home.  Under God, the Pastor is the boss in an Independent Baptist church.

There is no way on earth that the US will elect a black man or a woman to the presidency in 2008 UNLESS there are more voters in their 20s than I am aware of.  My own two "adult" children (23,19) are far more liberal than their father and I ever feared possible.  How can they not be conservatives like their parents?  I am only now realizing that things like politics and opinions must be DISCUSSED as a family and not just acted out in our lives.  I guess I figured that my children would be aware of what was important to their dad and I by our opinions and where we spent our money and our time, and would behave and think along the same lines.  We didn't have nearly as much influence on them as I thought we would.  Just to throw a kink in the works, maybe it's because they are ours by adoption and in nature vs nurture, nature has more sway.  I will say that I am very disappointed in their political choices and views.  And I can only pray that neither one will "get out and vote" this year.

And why did our community lose Columbus Day to have it replaced with an MLK,Jr Day?

NOW I will go and read the blog that is supposed to generate some discussion.

  Go ahead Jeanine, stand up for your bishop.
  He's not one of the liberals.

  OK, he's militantly anti-choice. So what? No issue can be an absolute litmus test. Anyway, the president doesn't have authority over jack when it comes to abortion. At least Huckabee knows NOT to grind our collective heel in the face of children (those already born and somewhat grown), which is more than most of his competitors for the nomination seem to understand.

  Any why is Martin Luther King Day the only holiday that I will get holiday pay for but everyone will be working their normal schedule that day?
