LIGHTNING ROUND FRIDAY!

Since it is Friday and I will most likely not post  until Monday, I’m going to highlight a few things that really are frustrating me today so I can spend a weekend getting frustrated so I have something new to post on Monday!


It looks like the people who write our text books are at it again!  After some insane changes to textbooks early in the year including removing enlightened thinking, the separation of church and state, remove information on McCarthyism and refusing to teach kids about being transgendered they now believe that history has a slant that is anti-Christian and specifically pro Muslim and should be reviewed.  It's fantastic to know that even our children will learn how it is ok to be unfair to people of a religion as long as they aren't Christians!


Sarah Palin had some advice for Christine O’Donnell l regarding what to do about getting her word out!  Just go to fox news where they will most likely give her fluff pieces that she can easily talk through without actually having to answer any real questions.  Oh, and to not listen to their handlers.  Don't forget that.  Because that worked out SO well for Sarah.  I will give Bill O’ some credit though, he had some really good back and forth with her about the Tea Party movement and these elections.


So it seems a number of people did not take kindly to the Pope showing up to the UK, especially after all that child abuse!  6 people were arrested on suspicion of terrorism linked to some sort of attempt on the Popes life, no doubt.


It seems a group of Hindus have come up to bat for those who do not believe!  The Pope denounced atheists in a speech and in general and Hindus have come up to bat saying no one has the right to pass judgment of another human being based on their beliefs.   Way to go!


It appears a rare Asian animal has been captured…right up until it died in captivity.  The good news is that they now know the area where these Saola live so they can work to try and preserve its habitat.


Former Senator Al D'Amato (R-NY) lets GOP strategist Jack Burkman have it after saying that people working for the United States Postal Service.  He opens by saying "most of these guys working in the Post Office should be driving cabs, and I think we should stop importing labor from Nigeria and Ethiopia. That's the skill level"!  D'Amato comes around and lets him have it!  It's beautiful!
