SNL - Palin/Hillary Open

I agree with many who claim that SNL has lost touch in recent years. That said, they have absolutely nailed Gov. Palin and Sen. Clinton in this sketch. Hilarious!

On a side note, if you've yet to experience the joy/addiction that is www.hulu.com, consider me your pusher.

"...the son of a black man from Kenya and white man from Kansas..."

LMAO. I wonder if that guy from abc News has since been fired?

Hot Lunch/Cold Lunch

Link to Article: Edmonds takes away hot lunches from kids in debt

"Some cafeteria workers say they aren't cooperating with the new school policy. Staff at Hazelwood Elementary in Lynnwood have been donating money to buy lunches for kids who would otherwise be served a sandwich, cashier Barbara Burley said. The donations won't last much longer. Burley said she will refuse to take milk and fruit away from young kids.

'They're children and it's not their fault,' said Burley, who has worked at Hazelwood for six years. 'For some of these kids, it's the only decent meal they get in a day. Could you do it? Could you look into a kindergartner's eyes and take away their lunch and give them a cold cheese sandwich and nothing else? I just can't. If I lose my job over it, OK.'"

WOW. I'm all for government entities being fiscally responsible, but this seems pretty harsh. Thank God for Barbara Burley and how she sticks up for the kiddies.

Five Rules of Christian Civility

Link to Article: Obama, Perkins, Palin and a Please for Christian Civility

Five Rules of Christian Civility (by Jim Wallis):

1. We Christians should be in the pocket of no political party, but should evaluate both candidates and parties by our biblically-based moral compass.
2. We don't vote on only one issue, but see biblical foundations for our concerns over many issues.
3. We advocate for a consistent ethic of life from womb to tomb, and one that challenges the selective moralities of both the left and the right.
4. We will respect the integrity of our Christian brothers and sisters in their sincere efforts to apply Christian commitments to the important decisions of this election, knowing that people of faith and conscience will be voting both ways in this election year.
5. We will not attack our fellow Christians as Democratic or Republican partisans, but rather will expect and respect the practice of putting our faith first in this election year, even if we reach different conclusions.

On Nov. 4, Christians will not be able to vote for the kingdom of God. It is not on the ballot. Yet there are very important choices to make that will significantly impact the common good and the health of this nation -- and of the world. So we urge our Christian brothers and sisters to exercise their crucial right to vote and to apply their Christian conscience to those decisions. And in the finite and imperfect political decisions of this and any election, we promise to respect the Christian political conscience of our brothers and sisters in Christ."

Great stuff! Thanks to Jeremy for making me aware of this article. If you're interested in hearing passionate people try and debate some of Wallis' "rules" in a civil manner, check out the rest of the article.
