I'm not thrilled about either of the Democratic frontrunners right now, but I must say Obama does seem much less like a slimey politician than Hillary does. This was passed along to me and I don't post it as fact. Just found it interesting.

I know, it sounds odd, but Maine's own Tom Allen actually has some good ideas to fix The Horror that is No Child Left Behind. They have a snowball's chance in hell of passing, but the fact that somoeone is actually publically acknowledging the fact that it is ridiculously flawed is pretty damned cool.

I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly. What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street? Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep? What do you feel when you look in the mirror? Are you proud?

I've been pondering this for a while, because you know I have that knee-jerk reaction to christians getting all offended. Therefore I try to sit on it and be objective. As is usually the case, this situation is a lot more complicated and has just as much to do with politics as it does religion.

Right now, thousands of American soldiers are overseas in a combat zone. Regardless of your feelings about the war, these folks need your help. You see, a significant number of them are Pagans, and they simply don't have access to ritual tools or books where they are right now.

Tucked away in a federal funding bill since 2003 is a provision that makes it harder for cops to catch criminals. The provision actually hides gun trace data from law enforcement and the public. Why does the gun lobby always push for this provision? The trace data shows that most crime guns come from a small number of corrupt dealers. Without comprehensive trace data, these dangerous gun

Following the horrible massacre at Virginia Tech, the gun lobby's unbelievable response has been to put more guns on campus. They actually want to arm students and teachers, an act that they think will prevent more shootings.

God Not Guns There are times when I don't mind being associated with the xtians, and this is one of them. I've always been involved with the Brady organization and Stop the NRA. And I've recently started being involved with Faithful America in some things. But I've never run into a group of religious folks who have actually taken a positive stand on guns before. It sort of gives me hope.

And that I'll be kissing their feet in gratitude when they show me how awful and hollow my pagan lifestyle is in

Life is a funny old bird sometimes, I'll tell ya. I was sitting here last night flipping channels and stopped on the History Channel when I saw something that has always held a strong facination for me. I was 11 years old when it happened but the images stuck in my head. Still do. I didn't make the connection, though, until I heard the phrase "apostlistic socialism". That's what the government
