What if I'm Wearing It?

The headline reads, “Religious clothing generally allowed in U.S. schools." So I doubled checked my dictionary, and based on my research, I’m wondering if the clothing in question, in this case scarves, in French schools, cause immediate conversion, to whatever faith, if an infidel happens to don said article of clothing.  Now that’s some powerful faith.

Yep, Fodder

I am not against medical research or cloning, per se, but this statement,

"The bill prohibits the use of human cloning for reproductive purposes, but allows cloning to create unborn children only to be killed—either early after their creation for their stem cells or at any time before their birth."

from an article in LifeNews.com, made my eyes pop out.

The article reports on the New Jersey legislature passing a bill, 41-31, which, according to the article, will allow just that.

But I guess this is okay because according to New Jersey Assemblyman Neil Cohen (D) we can,

"Do this for your children and your grandchildren."

What a Relief for the Catholics

The Pope has spoken, so all those who lead their lives, according to the edicts emanating from the Vatican, can, in good conscience, watch Mel Gibson’s upcoming film "The Passion. The Pope’s, concise, review,

“"It is as it was."

as taken from the Wall Street Journal.

Yeah, but how was the acting?

Update to "Robin Hood, Incorporated" Below

Yesterday, see below, I linked to a post by Greg Swann concerning a project his son Cameron completed for school.  I noted in the post that Cameron had received a 100% for the project.  It seems his teacher has had a change of heart.  Here’s the link to Greg’s letter to the school, addressed to Dr. Voinovich, in regards to the matter at hand.

Update to Update Greg’s heard from the school.

"Cameron’s grade is restored, but the principal of his school informs me that this weblog has been referred to the Washington Elementary School District’s attorney to determine if I have committed libel. Nothing will come of this, of course. Even attorneys can read the United States Constitution."

You Gotta Wonder

You gotta wonder at the absurdities that surround us in the name of the law.  In Texas, undercover cops are arresting people for selling vibrators. That’s using resources to “protect” the populace.  Cops have no self respect.

"Cookie Rebels"

A FOX news story, written by Wendy McElroy, informs that groups of conservative students, their words not mine, protesting affirmative action, are being denied their right to sell cookies on campus because,

"The cookie rebels are doing the one thing political correctness cannot bear: revealing its absurdity and laughing in its face. They are not merely speaking truth to power; they are chuckling at it."

I’ll take a half-dozen chocolate chip.
