Governor Ahnuld Reverses Parole of Convicted Murderer/Episcopal Deacon
Other Holy Innocents churches in the news:
Bishop rips governor over parole reversal / Murderer has been ordained as an Episcopal deacon: "During his years in prison, Tramel earned a business degree and a master's degree in theology from Berkeley's Church Divinity School of the Pacific, the Episcopal seminary. He worked in a number of prison programs, including church ministry, and 'has been seen as a genuinely good man,'' said Nancy Van Couvering, the psychologist who evaluated Tramel for the parole board.
Tramel's parole plan called for him to live at the Episcopal seminary in Berkeley and work fulltime at Holy Innocents Church in San Francisco's Noe Valley. He also would do other work for the diocese and the seminary. "

SRJC uproar over Republican protest
More campus hijinks from those merry pranksters, the College Republicans: Red stars on faculty office doors.
It's all to easy to compare them to the Hitler Youth, but more like the Aryan frat-boy version that provided the bad-guy funny in "Animal House" than the real thing.

CNN's Woodruff corrected Novak's Dean misquote ... [Media Matters for America]
Another reminder from Air America Radio to check Media Matters more frequently. They keep catching the Rethugs in fibs, misquotes, and flat out lies.
The Nation | Article | Our Godless Constitution | Brooke Allen
It is hard to believe that George Bush has ever read the works of George Orwell, but he seems, somehow, to have grasped a few Orwellian precepts. The lesson the President has learned best--and certainly the one that has been the most useful to him--is the axiom that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. One of his Administration's current favorites is the whopper about America having been founded on Christian principles. Our nation was founded not on Christian principles but on Enlightenment ones. God only entered the picture as a very minor player, and Jesus Christ was conspicuously absent.
Our Constitution makes no mention whatever of God. The omission was too obvious to have been anything but deliberate, in spite of Alexander Hamilton's flippant responses when asked about it: According to one account, he said that the new nation was not in need of "foreign aid"; according to another, he simply said "we forgot." But as Hamilton's biographer Ron Chernow points out, Hamilton never forgot anything important.
Excellent article. Unfortunately, John Adams was right - he calls it "Superstition in Religion exciting Superstition in Polliticks."
More and more, I'm convinced that our generations are remarkably dumber than the Founding Fathers could ever have imagined.
