Speaking of separation of Church and State, a coworker just sent me this article.
Before we even go there, I am constantly amazed at the ignorance displayed by the people who play this game.  What really gets to me is that some of these people are legislators, who are supposed to know the difference.

Bored?  Let me hit you with this.
The Food and Drug Administration knew for certain that there was melamine in baby food in this country.
So the agency that has been entrusted with our welfare blew the whistle on the companies and now all of the baby food is safe, right?

The FDA got on the [...]

OK, here’s one you don’t hear often…
My coworker told me he is often mistaken for Jewish.  He’s Greek, so I guess it’s all the same neighborhood anyway.
Today he told me about his son, who’s starting college and living in the dorms this year.  He’s apparently following in his father’s footsteps, with somewhat more determination.  He [...]

I am sorry to the many many people who have lost their lives in a mistaken sense of duty or patriotism.
(bet you’re not gonna hear THAT anywhere else for the holiday)
I feel bad that so many young (and not so young) men and women ran to join the armed forces after the (arranged) casatrophe on [...]

On Friday night, in a national television interview, President Bush directly admitted what we have suspected all along: The White House was deeply and intimately involved in decisions about the CIA’s use of torture.
[deeply involved? they ordered it.]
I am convinced there has never been a more openly corrupt administration in the history of this [...]

A 65 year old church lady is the prime suspect (ok, `person of interest’) in the shooting death of a 49 year old church lady.
It is alleged that the 65 year old was jealous because of the attention the 49 year old was receiving from the pastor so she shot her.
