Church

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An accelerant was poured around the exterior of Gov. Sarah Palin’s church before fire heavily damaged the building, federal investigators said Monday. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the accelerant was poured at several locations around the church, including entrances. Lab tests will determine the type of substance involved. Possibilities include gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel or even lamp oil, Agent Nick Starcevic said.

Dear Latter Day Saints, I couldn’t help but be impressed by your swift mobilization in support of Prop. 8, and even more so, your unstoppable stand in sanctifying marriage. Indeed, your Church has become a shining example for the kind of moral stance this country must adopt in ushering in a new era. For that reason, I want to propose that the Church take its position one step further. As much as I hate to admit it, the gays have a point when they say, “Hey! Sanctity of marriage, my tush!

When President-elect Obama said he’d reach out to the Republicans and all Americans, he was telling the truth. Apparently some people on the left hoped he was lying. Obama’s “sin” in their eyes is that he is keeping his promises. Other than the perpetually aggrieved paranoid cranks on the far right — FOX News, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, James Dobson etc., — most Americans (no matter who they voted for) are just glad that someone brimming with confidence, intelligence and good will is in charge of our rescue, at last !
