One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life. A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

Rest in peace, Internet Monk.
A man known in the cyber world as The Internet Monk, has died. Michael Spencer lost his battle with cancer tonight.
My prayers go out for his family and for all those who loved and will miss him. :(

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments.
The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others.
Through it, I have seen people reach out

I guess it would depend on the Republican. If it were someone with a reputation for honesty and integrity (like Arlen Spectre or John McCain), they would be believed. If it was someone with a suspicious history showing a lack of honestyr and a disregard for the rule of law (like the current White House), they would not.

I’m amazed he can say this with a straight face, given all the interviews that have surfaced where he absolutely confirmed that he HAD been talking to Blago about it.

I love the whining about the GOP in this case. Really, it’s hilarious. You guys are so desperate for anything to hold on to that you’re willingly ignoring the fact that Patrick Fitzgerald himself cleared Obama of any involvement in his initial press conference.
Keep it up, though. The sour grapes are still entertaining.

“Just imagine the reaction to that headline if Obama was a Republican.”
By the way…has anyone investigated the Palin administration for connections with former Senator Stevens? I mean, if she were a Democrat this blog would be foaming at the mouth for an investigation of any connection between them.
What about it, Michele? Should there be anyone looking at possible connections between Palin and Stevens? Or do they get a pass because they are from your party?

>>Keep it up, though. The sour grapes are still entertaining.
You are barely able to contain your rage that your favored one is being questioned.
The question of how it would be handled for a Republican isn’t rhetorical, really, which brings me to MarcM:
>>Should there be anyone looking at possible connections between Palin and Stevens?
Hmm. She didn’t become president, so it isn’t quite as important. Outside of criminal behavior, no. For Obama, as president, his breaking wind will be reported. You who worship at his feet might want to get used to it.
And when Palin got out before the conclusion of an inquiry, claiming her own investigation cleared her, there were hoots of derision. Which, frankly, sort of makes sense, both for her and Obama. Maybe Obama is clean. I hope so. But I wouldn’t take his word for it. Nor anyone else’s about their own involvement.
So there

What rage? I think it’s hilarious that the Republicans would rather throw mud at Obama over Blagojevich than actually get anything substantive accomplished. The economy? The war? Pfft. Who cares? They’ve got dirt to look for on Obama instead!
The GOP are just mad because they lost the election and would rather spend all their time slinging political mud than being productive. It’s great. I love it. The longer the RNC and the Republicans keep it up, the higher their chances of being consigned to life as an irrelevant regional party. It’s even got Newt Gingrich calling them out:

Seriously. Keep it going, Republicans. The more time you guys spend on political mudslinging, the better.

He said there was no inappropriate contact with the disgraced Governor- which translates that there was no-one from his side who has contacted the Governor and offer a bribe to help one of their favourites to get the Senate seat.
Apart from the appreciation that aides have promised to the Governor, they have been unwillingly to offer anything. Even the SEIU contact broke off when Blago indicated that he wanted some money or a seat in one of the corporate boards.
So stop imagining innuendo when there isn’t.
