Ditto that. The phrase's very inclusion in a post which has nothing whatsoever to do with either Clinton smacks of Obama-schillism on Schaller's part.

Note to Schaller: Only sore winners and small children keep on harping on the people who have already lost graciously and given your Messiah their full support.

I saw Biden speaking on television a while back while sitting around in an airport with nothing else to do. He was intelligent, articulate, and not willing to put up with his interviewer's MSM angling BS. His discourse on foreign policy indicated a far more complex understanding than either McCain or Obama have publicly demonstrated. In a more perfect world, inexperienced Obama might be Biden's VP pick, but if I've got to choose between Obama's VP hopefuls I'll take Biden any day.

That is your third reference to high school writing in about as many minutes. And the second one in this letter thread. Come on, dude, can't you possibly think of anything more interesting? Most high schoolers could.

Despite the blatant inaccuracy of this article, the most annoying thing (IMO) was this:

"What I said about pastor Rick Warren Monday applies just as equally to the Rev. Wright: It's all about them."

That is painful to read. It applies just as equally? WTF?

You wrote, like, a real, readable article!

I enjoyed this one. Mostly because it had nothing to do with the author, which until recently was apparently her favorite subject.

The world you seem to envision in which the only good Christian is one that never mentions his or her faith, is no better than this one, in which the only good atheist seems to be one who never mentions his or her lack of faith.

Walsh has written dozens, if not hundreds, of articles without once mentioning her own personal faith, and now she tosses it out one time in passing, and you're upset? Good heavens, talk about oversensitivity.

I sure hope you're being sarcastic. If not I'd love for you to go ahead and explain in the original Hebrew or Greek what, exactly, God had to say on "homosexuality" and "abortion." Whatever it was, it must have been incredible, given that neither of those thoroughly 21st century concepts existed in 1st century Palestine or before.

But maybe you're just a little malakos in the brain.

I'd be interested in seeing the source from which you got those alleged quotes from James Cone. I've read some Cone and while not all of it rubbed me the right way I never recall him saying anything that explicitly racist.

I despise James Dobson and if he can't see that he's also doing some exegetical contortionism to fit his own political views, he's an idiot as well as a bastard. I say this as a devout and religious and politically active Christian.

But I don't buy Obama's story of faith either. I may agree with his politics more but it is just too convenient that his "finding religion" happened to directly coincide with his political advisors informing him that he needed to get a church base in order to flourish in Chicago. His distancing from the pastor he formerly described as his spiritual mentor seems to tell me that he either wasn't interested enough in his own spirituality to fully comprehend Wright's own position, or he actually did and does sympathize with Wright but is now claiming he doesn't in order to appease oversensitive white voters.

Unfortunately for Obama, I think a lot of people view his religious affiliation with the same suspicions I do. It's not that I want to doubt his personal beliefs... in fact I don't think I could ever know some public figure's personal beliefs in that kind of way. But everything is all just too convenient, too well-timed. I hope Obama beats McCain but I don't think he's going to do it on the merits of his personal spirituality.

I find it absurd that employers would require women to wear heels in the first place. There are plenty of dressy flats in the world, in fact, stores like J.Crew regularly sell both heeled and flat versions of the same shoe style. It seems ridiculous to me that employers should prefer one to the other. As long as women aren't wearing ratty sneakers or something to the workplace, I don't see why their employer should care if they are wearing a dressy pair of flats or heels.
