Ok I will admit. I was less than sober when that post was made. Perhaps the name calling is a bit past the line. Sometimes I get over animated in my dislike for plain as a candidate. Anyway, the jesus thing comes from the religious right. I do not follow them that closely however I am pretty sure they claim that somewhere in the bible it is a man and a women. That is a argument I just find dumb.

Ditto on Stephen's comment.

I had thought you had found a book I did not know about.

Unfortunately, there are very few books written in English about Ji Gong Buddha. He was a crazy monk that loved his liquor..

I was upset last night about how Biden explained his belief. I was confused if he was saying he was for state recognized civil unions, but not forcing religions to recognize them or if he was just against any legal recognition. He just didn't explain himself well. He was doing really good about saying what he was for and then his comments just tanked. That was my only really disappointment in his comments last night.

(why? because jesus says that marriage is a union between a man and a women. too bad that is not an argument. I would like to see that brought to the supreme court. but that is a whole other topic)

I would however expect the democrat to at lease make a nodd towards the good. But no, he went with the same lame "do no harm" bull crap political and says that he does no support gay marriage.

This is 2008 people wake up and stop thinking you are god's gift to mankind.


I agree. This was the only disappointing comment I heard from him, but I was in the other room pouring wine when he made his joke. I was disappointed by the gay marriage comment and so disappointed that this should be an issue at all in a race to run Ithe country. We still have so far to go. Unless of course I missed the research that somehow states gay married couples are responsible for the fiscal crisis, housing market, crime rate, education problems, terrorists.......I also must misunderstand "one woman and one man" when the divorce rate between straight couples is fifty percent and the cheating rate even higher. hm Maybe one day that will be off the table and we can move on to making this country what it should be.


Bret,
Don't fall down but I agreed with your post, EXCEPT a working mom with five kids would never serve fresh pie-but Market Day seems to work for most. :D

Judging by your comments, and elegant twist, I fear you might have spent too much time in the dark with Tao, Lakewood's Detroit Avenue Shaman.

Hence, the left one.
