“Without him [Gore], there would be no Netroots Nation. There wouldn’t be the technology.”
All this time the left has been telling us that Gore never said he invented the Internet. Somebody forgot to tell the most powerful woman in the world.
Why do I keep getting reminded of Nicolae Carpathia in the Left Behind series?
At the age of 24, Carpathia stepped into the political scene as a junior senator in the lower house of the Romanian Parliament. Falling victim to Fortunato’s blackmail, the President of Romania soon resigned in favor of Carpathia, with the unanimous support of that country’s parliament. Shortly thereafter, in the chaos following the Rapture, Carpathia was appointed United Nations Secretary-General, at some point also becoming Pope (the original pope had been raptured). Throughout his swift rise to global prominence, he feigned humility, saying he wished only to serve and denying that he ever sought power. Carpathia quickly began effecting changes to the U.N., converting it into the Global Community, and appointing himself G.C. Supreme Potentate. After he raised Leon Fortunato from the dead he styled himself His Excellency Global Community Supreme Potentate Nicolae Carpathia. Eventually after World War III, he became a dictator, while still portraying himself as a benevolent pacifist. Wikipedia.

Separated at Birth?
Look, I’m not suggesting that Obama is the spawn of Satan. He clearly dispatched her in the primaries (lighten up people, it’s a joke). But this personality cult surrounding him is bordering on the absurd.
Dolly is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 8 to 12 inches…with isolated amounts of 20 inches…over portions of South Texas and Northeastern Mexico over the next few days. These rains will likley cause widespread flooding across portions of South Texas and Northeast Mexico.
I took the morning off to volunteer for Vacation Bible School. It’s becoming an annual thing for me to help one morning with the telling of the day’s Bible story. So, I dug my Biblical costume out of the attic and went to help tell the story of Jesus walking on the water. I was Peter and as I stepped out of the boat, I lost sight of Jesus and began to sink. You know the rest of the story, or you should. You can read it in: John 6:18-20
The morning went well, and I think the kid’s got the message. I on the other hand have been singing this song all week. I don’t think it quite fits the message.
The right-wing liberal: McCain vs. Obama on Afghanistan I can’t emphasize this enough, whether it’s Afghanistan or Iraq, only one candidate has pledged to win the WBK War - John McCain. The rest have only promised to end it, which is not the same thing.
A hurricane warning remains in effect for the coast of Texas from Brownsville to Corpus Christi, and for the northeast coast of Mexico from Rio San Fenando northward to the border between Mexico and the United States. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion.
