Remember that pit-in-your-stomach feeling in grade school when the bell would ring signaling the end of recess? Imagine how vulnerable House incumbents must feel as they hurry back to Washington to vote on a key jobs bill Democrats say will prevent layoffs and provide critical state funding.
Bravo to the voters of Missouri who told Washington to stuff its government run healthcare mandate. Government healthcare is way worse than just expensive and inefficient. It’s dangerous.

Not so good news this Friday, the unemployment rate is stuck at 9.5 percent. Private employers only added 71,000 jobs in July, according to the latest government report.
Further Thoughts on Anne Rice
Recently, I have been corresponding with Anne regarding her recent decision to break from many Christian systems. If you are curious how I responded to yesterday's email from Anne, here it is:

Earlier this week, the White House Press Corps settled into the new seating chart in the Press Briefing Room. Fox news scored a front row seat, and now the Associated Press moves into Helen Thomas' old seat, front row, center.
At Tuesday's briefing, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs poked fun at the press, "Wow, look at this, Sunday best, everybody in their new seats. Church is full today, that’s good to see."
CBN News' seat is back row, center... just in case you ever want to look for me.

The judge's ruling overturning California's Proposition 8 once again brings the marriage issue to the forefront of politics in an election year.
While Americans debate the pros and cons of same sex marriage, the citizens of Malaysia-- often considered a moderate Muslim country are debating another kind of marriage: multiple ones.
