Seafarers and fishermen of old knew the pragmatic use of a knot. It was tied a certain way to steer the boat, to weather the storm and meet the resistance of the wind and waves. In a storm in the night a properly tied knot can mean survival on board. There are dozens of knots in ancient lore, each having its own spiritual, pragmatic significance. I believe our knots symbolized a covenant of survival.

Companies that promoted anti-family policies have learned the hard way that such policies are bankrupt. K-Mart learned its lesson several years ago. Washington Mutual and Wachovia, both of which actively promoted the homosexual agenda, have come to realize that anti-family policies will bankrupt the bottom line.

Rush Limbaugh Calls Obama 'Arab'

clipper's remarks: For those who would let oxycontin influence their vote...

Clip Source: webmail.aol.com

Earlier this week, Rush Limbaugh contended that Senator Barack Obama is an Arab, and that "the last thing he is is African-American." Limbaugh clearly intended "Arab" as a slur - one meant to imply "Muslim" in a shameless use of religion as a political weapon, and despite the fact that not all Arabs are Muslim, or vice versa. Aside from the fact that Obama is not Muslim, you and I know that a candidate's religion is a matter of conscience and personal faith, and should never become a campaign issue.

Blogging is so 200

clipper's remarks: OK. This does it. Blogging is a psychological disorder in which pathetic people try to convince themselves that the whole world is interested in their mucus products. Enough already. Blog news, keep your diary and your diarrhea under the bed.

That's what needs to happen: someone shove a liposuction tube up my nose and vacuum out all the crud! A slight fever, too much congestion and a voice almost as deep as Barry White's convinced me to stay home from work today. So I'm catching up on reading, sleeping and watching a DVD or two. (The Great Ziegfeld arrived yesterday!)

"We're going to have to interrupt a negotiating session tomorrow between the Democrats and Republicans on a bill where I think we are getting pretty close, and troop down to the White House for their photo op," said Frank, the House Financial Services Committee chairman. "I wish they'd checked with us."

The Fed just dished out $85 billion to AIG, after forking over $29 billion to Bear Stearns, and getting us all on the hook for hundreds of billions of dollars to back Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Palin Sought to Ban Gay Book

clipper's remarks: Falwell with a pretty face????

Clip Source: fiatblog.blogspot.com

I've also recently learned that, while Mayor, Sarah Palin wanted a book written by a Baptist minister from the neighboring town of Palmer to be banned from the public library in Wasilla. The book is Pastor, I Am Gay by Howard Bess. Palin now denies trying to have the book banned, but Bess says "This is a small town, we all know each other. People in city government have confirmed to me what Sarah was trying to do." Bess, now a retired American Baptist minister, also says of Palin "She scares me. She's Jerry Falwell with a pretty face" and "At this point, people in this country don't grasp what this person is all about. The key to understanding Sarah Palin is understanding her radical theology."

"I will accept for purposes of discussion that it is as valuable as you say it is," Comey said. "That only makes this more painful. It doesn't change the analysis. If I can't find a lawful basis for something, your telling me you really, really need to do it doesn't help me."

The rise of the corporate state means the rise of the surveillance state. The Janus-like face of America swings from packaged and canned spectacles, from nationalist slogans, from seas of flags and Christian crosses, from professions of faith and patriotism, to widespread surveillance, illegal mass detentions, informants, provocateurs and crude acts of repression and violence. We barrel toward a world filled with stupendous lies and blood.

clipper's remarks: Young Republican Federation Closet Cases! You have to admit, they dress better.

The Republican parade of hypocrisy and sex scandal keeps on keeping on. Now comes word that the recently elected head of the Young Republican Federation Glenn Murphy has abruptly resigned amid allegations that he sexually assaulted a sleeping man at the home of the man’s sister. And, apparently that’s not the first time. Murphy has a prior arrest for sexual battery in 1998.

Nevertheless, Palin is still riding high in Alaska, where she jump-started a project to build a natural gas pipeline and pushed through a plan to send every resident $1,200 from the state's oil-rich treasury to offset high fuel prices.
