The Dunghill of Deceit
Newspapers are always happy to give column space to religious bigwigs to opine to their hearts' contents, and normally my eyes just skip past, knowing they will have nothing particularly fresh or insightful to say. But here's a column that's different. Written by a rabbi in ultra-blood-red born-again Idaho, it forcefully denounces the Bush misadministration's lies and acts of treachery that got us bogged down in the Iraquagmire. I was most impressed with the last sentence:
May we rise up together, as Christians and Moslems and Jews and other believers and atheists and agnostics, too, and demand that we, as a nation, support our troops in the only way that really matters — by bringing them home.
The full column is here, and well worth reading.

That was a good article and it's nice to see that not all people of faith are mindless automaton Bush supporters. I also liked the Macbeth reference- "Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill." No kidding. It's amazing how lessons learned hundreds of years ago are forgotten and must be re-learned by every new generation. When will we ever learn?
On a lighter note, what a coincidence you happened upon an article from the Idaho Statesman the day before Larry "Widestance" Craig gets outed by the very same paper. Unless, that is, you are from Idaho. There are so many creepy, hilarious and sad things about this incident, I don't know where to begin. I kinda feel bad for the guy for being a self hating homosexual. He probably grew up around the fire and brimstone crowd demonizing gays. The 'widestance' thing is just too effing funny. It's better than the infamous twinkie defense. I think people do things like this because they subconciously want to get caught.
