Episcopal Life Online – WORLD REPORT The letter was signed by 14 bishops including Nolbert Kunonga, the Anglican bishop of Harare, who is a staunch ally of President Robert Mugabe and his policies and who once referred to the opposition as dogs barking at an elephant. The central African bishops represent Anglican churches in Botswana, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Kunonga has a long-standing feud with his own church members because of his open support for Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF party. He met with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, March 7 to discuss the grave challenges faced by the Church,…

Mike Daisy: A Night To Remember YouTube link to video Last night's performance of INVINCIBLE SUMMER was disrupted when eighty seven members of a Christian group walked out of the show en masse, and chose to physically attack my work by pouring water on and destroying the original of the show outline. I'm still dealing with all the ramifications, but here's what it felt like from my end: I am performing the show to a packed house, when suddenly the lights start coming up in the house as a flood of people start walking down the aisles–they looked like a…

Bahama Breeze Beverages: The Legend of Aruba Red As "theme" chain restaurants go, Bahama Breeze is pretty good. But don't believe "the legend of Aruba Red." There was no Pirate Queen with red hair and a secret beer recipe. It's a hearty custom brew… by Budweiser.

The Blog | Laurie David and Sheryl Crow: Karl Rove Gets Thrown Under the Stop Global Warming Bus | The Huffington Post We reminded the senior White House advisor that the US leads the world in global warming pollution and we are doing the least about it. Anger flaring, Mr. Rove immediately regurgitated the official Administration position on global warming which is that the US spends more on researching the causes than any other country. We felt compelled to remind him that the research is done and the results are in (www.IPCC.ch). Mr. Rove exploded with even more venom. Like…

Homeland audit says Katrina contracts were mismanaged – The Boston Globe WASHINGTON — FEMA exposed taxpayers to significant waste, and possibly violated federal law, by awarding $3.6 billion worth of Hurricane Katrina contracts to companies with poor credit histories and bad paperwork, investigators say. Great. Just great. We know this went on, of course, but farther down in the article, FEMA admits it has no action plan for the coming hurricane season. So if there's another big hit, it will be more screwed-up contracting on an unprecedented scale. [tags]Katrina, Fema[/tags]

The Progressive Gap Senator Bernie Sanders is frustrated. He believes there is a gap between the American people who are increasingly embracing progressive values and what's going on in Congress. "The American people are way, way ahead on matters of the economy, war, global warming," he says, over coffee with a small group of reporters. Well, the polls quoted are interesting, but one of them boasts only a 2% majority for progressives on an issue.

Rove, celebs have heated debate | Chicago Tribune Here's this week's hot topic on the liberal/conservative punditblogs: Sheryl Crow picks a fight with Karl Rove. She tells him "You work for me." He tells her "No, I work for the American people." Um, dude, you told her to her face that you don't think she's an American. This is the root problem that the neoconservatives have foisted on the rest of our country – they think they're more American than the rest of us.
