Thanks to Hot Air and MichelleMalkin.com, we get to see just how Rep. Rangel has decided to represent “the people.”

Mrs. Obama discussed the need to support food banks and soup kitchens around the country given that things will get worse before they get better.

“You would have felt like a fool talking about politics at this party,” said Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., said after one major event. “I was surprised how much of a social event it was and how little of a political occasion it was.”
Insiders said in the report that the Obama social schedule is busier than any other previous occupants of the White House.
“We haven’t seen this kind of entertaining in a really long time,” Dee Dee Myers, former White House press secretary to Bill Clinton, said in the report.
According to an ABC report, many of the parties have been on Wednesdays, and the report confirmed one featured a Stevie Wonder concert.
“This is a pretty big house, so we get lonely,” the report said Obama announced. “It’s hard for me to move around out there some times so I got to bring the world to me.” Published reports said the Jonas Brothers were on hand in the White House for a special event for the Obama daughters, Sasha and Malia, on inauguration night.
Dinners have featured lavish menus including “Celery Soup, Wild Mushroom Crisps, Steelhead Salmon with Citrus sauce, Crispy Spinach, Toasted Saffron Couscous Pearls, Baby Iceberg lettuce with Maytag Bleu Cheese and Yogurt ranch dressing and for dessert, Milk Chocolate velvet cake” – all served on gold-rimmed china.

Twice a week I take one of my children for tutoring. Usually we all have to go and that means I have to either hope the Littles take a nap or else come up with something creative to occupy their time.
This past week, after taking the obligatory pit stop for the littlest Little, I decided to just walk on the sidewalk outside of the tutoring building with said Little and her sister.
It is now cold and wet in our neck of NC and the growing season is nearly done. But someone had taken two huge planters and potted numerous pansies and, to my astonishment, some curly leaf parsley. You don’t usually find commercially-minded folks planting herbs, unless they’re in the plant business. But curly leaf parsley makes a wonderfully bright green foil to flowers like pansies. (And here I thought common sense had already died!)
As we admired the different variations of a favorite flower, my 3 year old shouted, “Ha-lel-lew-yah!” in her excitement over the flowers. It was hard not to burst out laughing at her eager wide eyes, rounded mouth and cheeks flushed with pleasure at the sweet faces of those pansies.
“Ha-lel-lew-yah! That means somefing’s pwetty!”
I have no idea where she picked up her now favorite word of exclamation. But I agree with her. Pansies are worthy of a “Ha-lel-lew-yah!”


You know, as soon as Sarah Palin was nominated for VP, the first thing I did (after reading up about her) was run to my husband and we both blurted out the same thing - Doug Phillips and his crew are probably frothing at the mouth.
And they were. . . um. . . are!
If it weren’t so sad, it would be utterly laughable. And since Psalms does tell us that God laughs at the nations, maybe that’s just what we ought to do. Have a Laughfest at the Patriarchialists.
I wonder, sometimes, if these Phillips-huggers ever consider that the picture they portray to the world is not one of being “set apart” or “holy” or “devout.” The picture they paint is one of being spiritually snobby, holier-than-thou and extremist. They certainly do nothing to encourage fellow believers to join together in accordance with the teaching of Christ.
Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians that “all things are lawful.” He continues to say that “not all things are profitable.” But, just in case we missed something, he repeats it: “all things are lawful, but not all things edify.”
You know, this is so much like when Mrs. Palin turned to a heckler yesterday and after blessing him, lets him know that her son is paying the price in a foreign land to protect the right for that heckler to make an idiot out of himself.
Jesus did the same thing for us. When He paid the ultimate price, He paid it to fulfill the Law. Not to erase it (the end hasn’t come, yet), but to fulfill it. So, for Mrs. Palin, “all things are lawful.”
Including running for Vice President.
Including her husband Todd being the “Mr. Mom.”
And, it isn’t really up to us, or the Phillipies, to decide if it is profitable for the Palins or not.
One thing I do know – even if it is wrong for Mrs. Palin to run for and become VP, as a Christian, the price has already been paid for her forgiveness. And if God no longer condemns her. . . well, I wouldn’t want to be the one slinging mud.
No one will get everything 100% correct in this lifetime. Not even Doug Phillips. But that shouldn’t put us as Christians at each other throats. Perhaps it would do Mr. Phillips and his gang some good to spend some time at the eye doctor before they try to see what the Palins’ ailments are.

Ignore the language in the leader – you have got to see this video!
Hilarious!
So glad for these people who are a whole lot more tech savvy than me!
