About Laura
Another classic Jay Tea post - Pretty Ugly, Jumbo Shrimp, And Obama Justice:
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is not an enemy of the nation, he is a man accused of several thousand counts of felony murder. He is accused of heading up a conspiracy that cost thousands of lives and billions and billions of economic harm.
Instead of doing a series of posts on the many things wrong with the IPCC report, it would probably be easier, faster, and with less risk of carpal tunnel syndrome to document what in the report is actually true.
Speaking of the Creed... somebody else was thinking along those lines, too. That'd be a fun viral video, if done right... it's a pity I'm unqualified to make it. In any event... a week of prayer brings together Christians in New Orleans and worldwide:
At an evening service this week, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox clergy and worshippers recited together the ancient Nicene Creed, a common bond that formed a basis of their prayers for Christian unity.
The annual service, this year at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, is New Orleans’ participation in a global event called the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

It is sad but the problem is even people of my generation (that’d be X) were never even TAUGHT THESE THINGS in the first place. (There was virtually NOTHING on the whole gamut of Amendments, outside of some gloss on the Bill of Rights and the cabinet positions? Yeah, more likely to learn that on Schoolhouse Rocks or something.)
The only reason I can answer most of those questions is because I turned into a history/civics buff long, long after grade school. (And if you want to further depress yourself, try and find a math textbook from the 50s–it’ll make your hair stand up!)
