HARD SEEN NEWS

briefly.

Santorum; $2million in debt.
Gingrich; $4.3million in debt.
Romney; tax returns extension.

And they claim they can fix the Nation’s economy?

Does anyone remember the scenes from the news coverage of the Holy Cross Primary School

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Cross_dispute

or more recently, the girls going to school past an Ultra Orthodox community in Jerusalem (I think it was).

or the constant fighting between sects in Iraq.

If these three religions can not even agree amongst their own denominations and look past their divisions, how on Earth can three religions that have the same God as a starting point ever get along in peace and harmony?

How can two nations who are less than averagely religious and have such a huge diversity of religion and beliefs within their populations, have politicians who want to steer their nations in one, strict direction without regard for individuals beliefs that differ from their own?  And these politicians despise other nations that have ‘religious intolerance’.

How is it that most of the people that want to use religion as a part, if not the whole, of their political make-up, concentrate of the most vindictive and hateful aspects of that religion?   Why is it that they twist the words to suit their ambitions?

Richard Branson Wants To Give Stephen Colbert A One-Way Ticket To Space

“every time I go on his show…”

Then don’t go on his show.

It isn’t only funny when you instigate a ‘joke’ or a ‘prank’. 

kind of briefly

the former Miss Wales and Big Brother contestant has found herself short of attention this last couple of weeks so has taken to ‘writing’ a blog about her weight gain and body image - she was a size 8 and is now a size 12.

First off, some of the size gain must surely be due to her enhancing her chests in order to get more photo sessions with lads mags.

And second wasn’t there a footballer to fallate in a hotel room behind his wife’s back or was the whole process of sending anonymous tips to the media too much bother?

odious little man.

I think it speaks volumes about the Former Speaker’s suitability for any political office.  I have not seen the others comment about Potus, or try to turn into a political issue against him.  They may not like him but at least they have some respect for the appalling tragedy - or at least their minders do and have told them to shut up.  This horrible little man is so desperate now, I am surprised he isn’t joining the FOX/Glen Beck pundits in their obvious disappointment that the protests have been peaceful.

Newt Gingrich Condemns President Obama’s Thoughtful Words About Trayvon Martin, Calls Them ‘Appallin

short memory?

I seem to remember the George Costanza was used at another GOP contenders presentation, though at that time it was attributed to Seinfeld.

not so much transparency then, but they are see-thru

Those Lawmakers in Tallahassee have set about redrawing Districts and many observers were calling foul when they saw the planned Re-Districting.  This follows on from the Governor’s and Lawmakers, the GOP and Tea Party Lawmakers that is, attempts to change voter registration rules which change the amount of time the polling booths would be open, who can register voters and what happens if you haven’t registered at your current address.  Many thought these new restrictions and the re-districting would adversely  affect the people least likely to be voting Republican or for Republican backed issues.

There are already several lawsuits to put a stop to some of the proposed measures.

And then this happens.

The GOP Representatives want absolute protection for themselves and their offices, from having to testify or give evidence in civil court cases… 

After  one of the Democratic Representatives  was subpoenaed by lawyers for online travel companies  in a dispute about online travel companies not paying state taxes, when they had been told by their own legal council that they were liable.

All of this after the GOP/Tea Party Governor came to power with a promise of - amongst other things - more transparency in government.

Once again, by trying to cover-up, they have become even more see-thru.

But wait, it gets better.  

Today, they backed down, blaming the opposition for making it a political issue.

Do people realize these lawmakers mock everyone who trusted them enough to vote for them?

Briefly

So, not only do the ‘candidates’ want to wind the sundials back to the mid-eighteen hundreds - via post Exodus Judea - remove the Amendments they find inconvenient, turn back the rights of minorities and women and children and reduce the nation to a few monied rulers presiding over the uneducated powerless workers, but they seem to want to have a rematch of the Civil War with a hefty dose of sectarianism thrown in for good measure.

Of Faith and Prayer… of Faith and sex.

If your faith is so strong and your beliefs so powerful, why would you have to impose them onto other people? Surely in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, our children should be free to choose, and be encouraged to be brave enough to make their own choices.

Prayer isn’t the problem, but panderers sure are - Tampa Bay Times

I would ask the same thing of the Religious Right who want to ban contraception. Is their Faith so shaky they may give in to Temptation, or are they concerned about other, less strong and less righteous folk?

Or are they just pissed off because they hate the idea someone else is having fun whilst they have to be seen to be sticking to strict moral guidelines.

Or do they just hate the fact people have free will and that that Free Will might just be one of the Gods’ greatest gifts to mankind
