The heck with Obama and Clinton… now that it's official, we'll be supporting Rileycat in his candidacy for President, and now we've got to convince our friend Steve to let his Golden Doodle, Polly, run for Vice President. It's an unbeatable ticket: cat people and dog people, Democat and Repuplican, unleashed on the American political scene for the first time. Forget Blue and Red America, it's time for Poo and Shed America! As running mates, they might have some problems, though Riley has been declawed and Polly reportedly "likes cats."

Steve in on using the little hand-candles for a candlelit portion,…

daily episcopalian: Desmond Tutu on the Communion's peculiar priorities I am deeply disturbed that in the face of some of the most horrendous problems facing Africa, we concentrate on what do I do in bed with whom, the South African Nobel Laureate Tutu told a news conference in Nairobi.

Salt Lake Tribune – Hatch: Ethics bill all wrong WASHINGTON – Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch cast one of only two votes against an ethics reform bill that supporters are saying would be the most sweeping reform of congressional rules since Watergate. The bill to ban gifts, meals and travel funded by lobbyists and to force lawmakers to identify which special-interest funding they inserted in bills passed the Senate late Thursday 96-2, with Hatch and Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., opposing it. Hatch says he was making a “protest vote” because the bill – which was co-managed by fellow Utah Republican Sen.…
