Obama/Clinton?

Hillary has reportedly told the AP that she would entertain the idea of being Barack's VP.

Translation: Hillary wants to be Barack's VP.

There's been speculation for months that the two might join forces to make a "superticket." Will this actually happen? For the longest time I didn't think so.

But now my gut's telling me it will happen.

Hillary is such a polarizing figure that I hope Barack will find someone better. Who might he select?

It's a real longshot, but it would be REALLY interesting if he would select a Republican... one that's to the right of McCain. Would he dare do that? Doubtful, but it would certainly get people talking.

"What's a microblog?" My wife asked. Well, I said, it's a small blog. Just a sentence or two for a post. ...

Jesus and the Inconvenience of His Word to American Christians

I'm not a preacher, but if you follow the teachings of Jesus, it was he who said: Do to others as you would have them do to you. That's from Luke 6:31 , and reading all of Luke 6 isn't a bad way to spend five minutes of your time.  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%206&version=NIV I guess a lot of Christians understand the Golden Rule and practice it in their daily lives. Others, however, especially political Christians (and specifically those promoting Christian Nationalism) seem to ignore the Golden Rule. They don't care about humanitarian issues. They claim they either don't exist, aren't the problem of the United States, or are the fault of the victims. They counter with distractions like, "Why do you care so much about THEM when you should be caring about the REAL people who matter?" Sorry, but I don't recall Jesus ever dividing people into those who matter more and those who matter less. Of course, Jesus also said not to j...
