When is a dunk in the water not a dunk in the water?

The White House said Friday that Vice President Dick Cheney was not talking about a torture technique known as "water boarding" when he said dunking terrorism suspects in water during questioning was a "no-brainer." In an interview Tuesday with WDAY of Fargo, North Dakota, Cheney was asked if "a dunk in water is a no-brainer if it can save lives."

The administration has repeatedly refused to say which techniques they believe are permitted under the new law. Asked to define a dunk in water, [Press Secretary Tony] Snow said, "It's a dunk in the water."

Check out this wonderful cost-sharing program.

One of the benefits of the Medi-Share program?

You Will Not Be Subsidizing Unbiblical Lifestyles

Our Medi-Share members and their healthcare dollars do not subsidize abortions, drug addictions, or any other unbiblical lifestyles that inevitably lead to the premature destruction of the body, mind, and spirit.

I never thought that "Christian charity" was meant only for Christians. I guess "Do unto others..." was a mis-translation. Maybe it is better translated as "Do unto others (but only those like yourself)..."

But believe it or not, the very "red" state of Kentucky is moving to ban the group. It must be the work of those damn "activists" judges again!

Weird Al hits top 10

'Weird Al' Yankovic finally hits the top 10

NEW YORK (Billboard) -- Now this is weird. "Weird Al" Yankovic's new album, "Straight Outta Lynwood," has scored the enduring song parodist his biggest chart successes in a career that spans nearly three decades.

Gotta love it!

A recent incident that upset social conservatives involved remarks by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last week. With First Lady Laura Bush looking on, Rice swore in Mark R. Dybul as U.S. global AIDS coordinator while his partner, Jason Claire, held the Bible. Claire's mother was in the audience, and Rice referred to her as Dybul's "mother-in-law."

"The Republican Party is taking pro-family conservatives for granted," said Mike Mears, executive director of the political action committee of Concerned Women for America, which promotes biblical values. "What Secretary Rice did just the other day is going to anger quite a few people." just a few?

Moral relativism

As much as the right in this country pushes the idea that they are the only ones with any morality and that the problem with the left is moral relativism, it just surprises me how much the republicans are always comparing their actions to those of former/current democrats...but only when pointing out that they are not as bad as the democrats..you never see them pointing out that the democrats did something better.

One example is the tried-and-true "Well, look at what happened under the Clinton administration" as the recent John McCain blaming N. Korea's nuclear test on the former president...not the one that has been in the White House for 6 years.

But today's quote takes the cake...

Shays on Foley handling: At least no one died

HARTFORD, Connecticut (AP) -- Republican Rep. Christopher Shays defended the House speaker's handling of a congressional page scandal, saying no one died like during the 1969 Chappaquiddick incident involving Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy.

"I know the speaker didn't go over a bridge and leave a young person in the water, and then have a press conference the next day," the embattled Connecticut congressman told The Hartford Courant in remarks published Wednesday.

"Dennis Hastert didn't kill anybody," he added.

Okay so what is the moral here? Don't get in a car with Ted Kennedy? Or is it Don't trust the right to do what is right?
