The senior senator from Massachusetts has a taste for blood and she has the respect of her colleagues. People may want to tread carefully from here on out. I believe if she decides to stay in the Senate she'll be more powerful than Ted Kennedy was. I hope she stays in the Senate. It's rare that someone comes along with her integrity and her gifts in office. Democrats need one congressperson that's not scared of the GOP.

The Banana Bunker comments had me laughing out loud for five minutes straight. Thank you -- I needed that!
I worked for her during her run for the senate here in Massachusetts, Vic78. I agree.
Great group of links, as usual. Can't decide which one I like most.
As for Lifesite News' story about Dan Savage and the NALT initiative, I looked at the comments, as you suggested. What a cruel, homophobic cesspool. Here' a sample of some of the comments from Lifesite News' fundamentalist readers:
"It is self-destructive for Christians to deny the Cross of Christ by not offering life-affirming options for those who wish to change their self-destructive lifestyles."
"It would be appropriate and courageous for Christians who are being healed by the Great Physician of sexual addictions and unhealthy sexual attractions to speak out in love to those who are being led to slaughter by a propaganda campaign."
"The U.S. is suffering with depravity. POTUS is leading depravity."
"Please oppose would be Nazis like Dan Savage. He should be happy enough that Christianity created a society where people who choose to define themselves by their homosexual lust like him aren't hurt in any way."
"Now, I BEG YOU, how could a good and all-knowing God dictate a command such as "be fruitful and multiply" then create a being incapable (not of his/her own will, as in the case of celibacy) of finding the complimentary sex and fulfilling their divine right??? Simple. The fallen have decided, just like Satan, they will "not serve"."
"Polygamy is coming. As is incestual marriage. The same arguments that are "winning" the gay marriage argument apply to poylgamy and incestuous marriage."
On, "Genesis raises a few questions," the answer to the doubters is simple. "God works in mysterious ways."
Vic78: I hope she stays in the Senate for a long time -- unless she moves up.
Ahab: It's amazing what entrepreneurs keep coming up with. As for Life Site News, I read it regularly and am constantly startled at the viciousness expressed there by people who insist that they're entirely "loving".
Shaw: Personally I go with the LaidNYC thing. Can always use a laugh.
Blurber: It's odd that the mysteries of God are usually hard to distinguish from random gibberish.
Thanks for the link!

Thanx for the link up Infidel, but one thing I wanted to mention here, is that I feel that calling these global warming denier's "denier's" is too generous ... to be more frank here, their nothing but a bunch of corrupt liar's basing everything on business and politic's, I dont beleieve that they are in question or denial about a damn thing, and in my opinion only are deserving of the death penalty, they ALL know how to be cleaner, especially those with the most wealth ... tell them to have a barbeque and run idle their car engine's on their own properties with guest's in an enclosed enviroment, or maybe to dump a bunch of chemical's into the pond with duck's and fish on their properties, eh? "Scientifically Illiterate"? ... more bullshit ... most of those running their mouth's and making big financial gain's all come from affluent background's have college education's etc, etc ... I AM SCIENTIFICALLY ILLITERATE with not even any high school, science background or anything else, and I figured this crap out year's ago. They know damn well what their doing, and should be found guilty in the court of law for crime's against humnanity and nature, and sentenced to death. They are the one's who force the masses to depend on their cheap energies product's, while all along they know how to clean up thing's and even have more than enough money to do it.
They dont care about the flood's, forest fire's, melting ice cap's or anything else, they actually believe that they cant get caught by any of it and none of it will hit their well planned properties and enviroment's, they dont care about fish species in the sea, cause they will just breed their own using the same science's that they pretend they dont have or know about.
Enough said ... Thanx
Comrade: You're welcome!
Ranch: There are people who honestly believe global warming isn't real, because they're misled by the propaganda. But as for the propagandists themselves, I agree with you. It's like the fake scientific studies the cigarette companies used to put out, decades ago, claiming cigarettes didn't cause cancer.
