Will You Fast And Pray With Me?

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

Starting now until the polls close on Tuesday night. Will you join me?

In Which Harry Reid Confirms He Can’t Play Nicely With Others.

Is that the face of a man who can get along with anyone?

Of course Harry Reid won’t work with a President Mitt Romney. Hell’s bells, he won’t even work with a President from his own party to pass a budget.

All this is assuming that Harry’s still the man at the top in the Senate after Tuesday next.

Don’t Ever Try to Tell Me There Isn’t a Double Standard.

Todd Akin had some ill-conceived and outdated ideas about the rate at which women conceive in the aftermath of rape, of which he’s been brutally disabused and for which he’s apologized.

On the other hand, the President of the United States holds the belief that a “fetus, or child — however you want to describe it” who has the ill grace to show “movement or some indication that, in fact, they’re not just coming out limp and dead” after an abortion procedure should be denied medical care until they finally cooperate by dying, a position for which he’s never apologized and probably still holds.

Yes, the words inside the quotes are the exact words spoken by then Illinois-State-Senator Barack Obama during a floor discussion of Illinois’ Born-Alive Infant Protection act. God knows, I certainly couldn’t have made them up.

Yet where is the outrage directed?

Joe Biden, You Handsome Devil, You!

Funny typo in this Politico article.

A LexisNexis search shows that such outlets as CNN, “Imus in the Morning,” National Review, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, POLITICO, The Independent and the Sacramento Bee have all referred to Biden as “handsome.” (Emphasis added.)

Unless all those sources really have referred to Joe Biden as handsome, which would just be disturbing on many levels.

*Screen cap.

TMI

Really, I think I may be ill.

I realize we live in a society where nothing is off limits in public conversation, but, really, this is more information than I want to know about another couple’s bedtime rituals.  And if that weren’t bad enough, the columnist’s swooning is more befitting of a 12 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert than an actual adult talking about the President of the United States. Which explains so much, if you think about it.

Jay Carney Bitchslaps The White House Press Corps

 

Do you see my middle finger? That represents laziness. And my index finger represents sloth. Either that or I’m hexing you.

Jay Carney calls the White House press corps slothful and lazy. I generally loathe journalists and this makes even my blood boil. Really. I’m nearly speechless.

Note to the press corps: At this point, the Obama Administration is the boyfriend who treats you like crap in public because he knows you don’t have the gumption to leave. Try and have a little self-respect.

Oh, How The Mighty Have Fallen

Apparently Barack Obama is no longer a big enough fund-raising draw, so they’ve added Bill Clinton to sweeten the deal.

Just me, or are these presidential raffles unseemly?

“Voters Are Right”

This is brilliant.

“In many troubled relationships, both sides deserve some of the blame. But the United States is a nation founded on the belief that governments gain their legitimacy only from the consent of the governed. In the relationship between the people and the Political Class, that means the voters are right, and the politicians need to change.” ~Scott Rasmussen

It’s also nice to see that Mitt Romney has hit 50% for the first time and widened his lead over Barack Obama to 7%…his biggest lead yet.

Barack Obama Is A Pandering Panderer

And he panders again. Isn’t it funny how much more attractive coal looks after you realize that 40% of the Democrats in West Virginia prefer a convict over you?

Breaking News: Teen-Age Boys Are Jerks

Tune in at 11:00 for shocking photographs of blue sky!

Also, the sky is blue and Abraham Lincoln is dead. Shocking! Tune in at 11:00 for details.

It’s been my experience that high school boys are, overwhelmingly, jerks. Apparently, this is news to the Obama campaign, but of course, these are the people for whom everything is unexpected, so maybe it’s not surprising.

So we learn that Mitt Romney bullied a student, who he may or may not have known was gay, when he was in high school. Not something anyone should be proud of, but maybe it was just “Reflective of the struggles and confusion of a teenage boy. Teenage boys are frequently confused.”

Romney says, and I’m inclined to believe him, that he didn’t know the student in question was gay. When I was in high school in the 70s, homosexuality wasn’t really on my radar and that was nearly 20 years and a whole lot of sexual revolution later.

Update 1: Another perspective on the “gay-bashing” incident.

Update 2: Jeff at The Lid gets his hands on this story. LOLZ ensue.
