I�ve got lots of Obama supporting, Christian, moral friends, who care as much about life as you do. That�s like saying all Republicans are pro-death because they don�t support gun control laws. At the end of the day, we all want to see ID get a fair hearing. We want to see the scientific mainstream wrestling with the scientific challenges of ID. So what�s going to make that happen? Is it going to be the endorsement of politicians like Bush and Palin who they have already dismissed as uninformed, religious fundamentalists. I really doubt it. I think instead of demonizing one side of the polital spectrum, we need to be engaging with those who feel threatened by the ID camp�s apparent religious and political affiliations. Engaging only with the right, is pretty much preaching to the converted. That guy is toast.

How do you like the new presidential race polls, what with the economic problems and all? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn....pf.html -- Obama now leads McCain by 52 percent to 43 percent -- Fully 50 percent called the economy and jobs the single most important issue that will determine their vote, up from 37 percent two weeks ago. -- Much of the movement has come among college-educated whites. Whites without college degrees favor McCain by 17 points, while those with college degrees support Obama by 9 points. ----------------------------------------------- Sure, you get to pretend that you're some tinhorn Rush Limbaugh -- but you and Rush only have a few things in common:  an inordinate fondness for processed cheese foods, an painful over-estimation of your own mental abilities and a penchant for lying. The economic chickens are coming home to roost and they're shitting all over your face, Scooter. Enjoy the flavor for the moment and pray for change, "agnostic" that believes in God. -------------- AtBC Award for Thoroughness in the Face of Creationism

Clearly you're not doing it right. Can I help? I set them up, baby, you knock them down. We're here all week! I heard a piece about David "Gitwizard" Blaine's recent stunt involving hanging upside down over an ice rink (or some such drivel) where he was seen taking breaks for such trivia as food, water, standing upright and medical checks. Ha ha! The comment was "He keeps doing all these death defying stunts and surviving. I wish he'd stop". I have never been so proud to be British as when Blaine pulled some shit over here in a glass box hanging above the Thames and some genius bought a remote controlled helicopter and used it to fly burgers around him. It was a work of the highest human wonderfulness. Marcus Brigstocke (British comedian, youtube the fucker) did a brilliant bit on him. I maintain to this day the fucker stole it from me. There are only two problems with that hypothesis: 1) I've never met him, 2) he's a lot funnier than I am. Louis -------------- Bye.

Doesn't change the fact that the BarryA quote was mined and  truncated to emphasize an inconsequential error. In the context of the BarryA comment, "invented" means available for use by Roosevelt to address the public. And, of course, Roosevelt wasn't president when the market crashed.
