I was listening to NPR last night. They were playing an audio taped conversation between President Bush and one of his father's former aides. On the tapes Bush admits that he used to smoke marijuana. When asked why he lied about it to the public he responded by saying that he didn't want the children to follow his example. How about the lying George? He was then asked how he justified being so harsh and critical about Gore's pot use. Well, Al Gore is a pathelogical liar, he replies. Who's the pathelogical liar? Maybe he was really so harsh because he felt that Gore actually didn't smoke any pot but true to his pathelogical lying ways lied about it to jump on the former druggie bandwagon? But here's something funny, the person that he was talking to on the tapes was a guy name Doug Wead (pronounced "weed'', hence the funny).
The White House did not deny the tape's authenticity. Instead they simply said that it was supposed to be a private conversation between the President and a person that he thought was his friend. Don't you consider the American people your friend George? Why wouldn't you tell us? Apparently Wead was more his friend than the country that he is supposed to be serving.

The snow parking rules state that when there is snow on the ground you have the right to a crappy parking job, but some have taken it way too far. I have seen people parked so that they completely block alleys, parking lot driving aisles, and even worse- block other drivers completely in. Now I can understand some of the vomity parking when there is a lot of snow on the ground, but even the winter days when all of the snow has been cleared and the parking lines are clearly visible people are still just parking wherever the hell they feel like. What is wrong with these people? It's like they are just waiting for any excuse no matter how slight to be inconsiderate to their fellow human beings. I wish I had the time to let the air out of all their tires to return the favor.

First off, I agree with you on the snow parking rules. Second off, why would people do that? Are they too dumb to look?

Although I may not have been a big fan of Christmas, I have always loved St. Valentine's Day. I feel that it is not only for those that are dating or in love, but for all of us to show some brotherly love to one another. So I would like to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day and encourage everyone to extend some extra kindness and affection to those around you.

I know that most Christian groups have sided against the use of cloning, especially when it comes to humans; but I was wondering if they would feel the same way if they were given the opportunity to clone Jesus. For instance, if there was some viable DNA found on the Shroud of Turin, do you think most Christian groups would maintain that cloning was a sin? Or would they mull over if not jump at the chance to have their savior here before them in the living flesh? There is supposed to be a second coming after all and there was no mention made of it not being due to cloning. We could even keep it true to the original and have a virgin bear the clone of Jesus.
