Reformed Chicks Blabbing

OK, I think I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that…

Burris will be seated in the Senate.What would be the purpose of meeting with him if he wasn’t thinking about caving? And since Reid has stepped it by sounding racist rejecting the three top runners for the seat (who all happen to be black), he may cave just to change the headline and avoid this comparison. But more importantly, they would rather just get a Democrat in there and avoid a special election that might switch the seat to Republican hands.

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

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

Until Blago is actually impeached or Illinois changes it’s laws, I think they pretty much have to seat him. Blago probably picked him because he’s the only one he DIDN’T try to sell the seat to, so he’s probably pretty clean.

Here’s what accurate predictions look like:
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” — H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) who never even met Dubya
It is difficult for the ordinary voter to come to grips with the notion that a truly evil man, a truthless monster with the brains of a king rat and the soul of a cockroach, is about to be sworn in as president of the United States for the next four years… And he will bring his gang in with him, a mean network of lawyers and salesmen and pimps who will loot the national treasury, warp the laws, mock the rules and stay awake 22 hours a day looking for at least one reason to declare war, officially, on some hapless tribe in the Sahara or heathen fanatic like the Ayatollah Khomeni.
–Hunter Thompson(September 14, 1987 – On Bush I)

There’s a lot of talk about fear of an election because a Republican might win it, but with Obama getting about a 3:1 lead in the general election, do you really suppose a Republican would win his seat?

Though, the Republicans did pick up William Jefferson’s seat and that was a huge shock!
