I know, I’m not posting much and the comments are dead. Until I get this site fixed, it’s going to stay quiet. I am working on stripping out the registration system and substituting it with a capcha system. I went through this site’s activity logs this weekend as was amazed to see how many people were trying to comment, and how the system wouldn’t let them. Until this is ameliorated, I’m still on vacation.

In recent years I’ve been less and less impressed with my senator, John McCain, and watching him suck up to the Christian Right is a profound disappointment.
John and Jerry

Well, I’ll be damned. At least, that’s what the Rev. Jerry Falwell says. Last month Mr. Falwell issued a statement explaining that, in his view, Jews can’t go to heaven unless they convert to Christianity. And what Mr. Falwell says matters — maybe not in heaven, but here on earth. After all, he’s a kingmaker in today’s Republican Party.
Senator John McCain obviously believes that he can’t get the Republican presidential nomination without Mr. Falwell’s approval. During the 2000 campaign, Mr. McCain denounced Mr. Falwell and the Rev. Pat Robertson as “agents of intolerance.” But next month Mr. McCain will be a commencement speaker at Liberty University, which Mr. Falwell founded.
