I just hope the RR doesn't become so emboldened that they try to take over my local school board again. We ran 'em out on a rail once before, but it is so darned tiring!

Nice job at uniting, Baby Bush.

As for the prayer in school stuff, the reason it is considered a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment is that students or people being asked to/ given the time to/ pray are captive. Students cannot opt-out w/out fear of being ostracized. People at a football game in Texas(or elsewhwere) have a prayer on the PA foisted upon them w/out their consent. Personally, I pray at school frequently, but nobody has a clue that I am doing it. (and I still have parents upset with me bacause I teach ABOUT other faiths.

I suppose Baby Bush has a right to ask people to pray, but as a "uniter" he should have been smarter, and more inclusive.

A pox on whomever implied that 8 years of Baby Bush could be a possibility :-)

The person way back there who wants to get rid of their Republican Congressional Rep -- Congressional folks have to run every 2 years.

Time to make dinner :-)
