Rant . . .

Bill Maher's recent rant has stirred-up some Facebook reaction. Some good discussion took place in the show. One good line (from Nicholas Kristof) that I think we should take away from this, paraphrased, 'the chasm is not between Islam and the rest of the world, it is between fundamentalists and moderates in each religion.'

Removal . . .

 A cleansing of sorts is in order . . .

Somebody's recent survey of voters concluded that 56% are ready to vote every member of Congress out if there were a place on the ballot to do so.  And each political spectrum surveyed agrees with liberals at 55%, moderates 55% and conservatives 58%.  Furthermore, the freshmen Republicans who took control of the House of Representatives in January on the premise of bringing CHANGE have even disappointed their supporters.
