"President Bush said that Cinco de Mayo is an opportunity to recognize the strong ties of family, economy and culture that bind the United States and Mexico. That was nice. Yeah. Then the president said, 'Now, let's get back to building that fence.'" --Conan O'Brien

"The federal government announced that the economy lost jobs for the fourth straight month in a row. But President Bush tried to turn it around by saying, 'The good news is, we anticipated this.' See, that's the good news. So what is he saying? 'See, I knew I was going to screw up the economy. And guess what. I was right.' All of a sudden, that response to Hurricane Katrina is starting to make sense now." --Jay Leno

"I guess
it's neck and neck with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They've got a big
primary tomorrow, and they're everywhere right now. Yesterday's entire 'Meet the
Press' was devoted to Barack Obama, while the entire 'This Week with George
Stephanopoulos' was devoted to Hillary Clinton. ... Meanwhile, John McCain spent
the day watching a 'Golden Girls' marathon." --Conan O'Brien
Subject: Rev. Wright, Sen. Obama's Former Minister
Bill Moyers interview with
Rev. Wright, Sen. Obama's former minister, was time well spent. Rev. Wright is a
calm straightforward person who speaks of mans' inhumanity toward man and how
corrupt governments have been over the course of history. Nothing new. I agree
with him. His delivery at his own church might be a little edgy to some but few
whites have had the experience of being in a black church. I'm impressed with
him.
The history of his church, The United Church of Christ, dates back to the
Mayflower Pilgrims as the Congregational Church. The Congregational Church began
discussing merger with a smaller already merged faith, the Evangelical &
Reformed (E&R) and some other Christian parishes in the 1930's. Merger talks
completed in 1959 with a new name: The United Church of Christ (UCC).
Over the years many U.S. Presidents have been members or attended the UCC, so
many that the phrase 'Church of the Presidents' has been used at times by
non-members. Note that former President George Bush's family attends the
Kennebunkport, Maine UCC when on vacation. Barack Obama's membership in the UCC
puts him in good company with past presidents.
The governance of the UCC is the radical opposite of the Church of Rome - Roman
Catholic. Each parish makes its own decisions about everything from updated
English in prayers to outside signs which often reflect the historical origin of
the parish.
This basic history, absent in the unfairly-balanced news, should help readers
shape a more rounded opinion on Rev. Wright.
By the way Lisa: George Bush has used Rev. Moon (i.e. moonies) to chair the
White House prayer breakfast for the past seven years. Who might B. Obama or H.
Clinton choose for that?
Gary from Oshkosh
I bet Obama won't use Rev. Wright to lead the White House prayer! Hillary will probably take a poll to determine her choice.
The Rev. Wright made an ass of himself, not Obama.
This is the most fascinating election ever -- and what a cast of characters.
If we had just listened to our forefathers about separation of "Church and State", this would have all been avoided!
Operation Chaos Had A Limbaughtomy
Radio's Rush Limbaugh,
self-styled "commander-in-chief'' of "U.S. Operation Chaos,'' may be taking some
credit for the outcome of the Democratic primary election in Indiana - credit
for helping narrowly hand it to Sen. Hillary Clinton.
But the numbers may not support his case.
