Kaine is a strong outside-the-beltway candidate who can carry a southern state. Bayh has a Democratic pedigree that isn't easily rivaled. I'll go with Joe Biden, because he can stand up to anything the Republicans throw at him. Still, Chuck Hagel might be the wisest choice.

He was a respected member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish religious council in Jerusalem. He was presumably wealthy, since he owned his own unused tomb in a garden not far from the site of Jesus' crucifixion (Mt 27:60). Joseph, a man waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God, went to Pontius Pilate after the death of Jesus and asked for Jesus' body (Mk 15:43). Along with Nicodemus, Joseph removed the body and placed it in the tomb (John 19:39). Their public devotion contrasted greatly to the fearfulness of the disciples who had abandoned Jesus. O darkest woe! Ye tears, forth flow! Has earth so sad a wonder? God the Father's Only Son Now is buried yonder! O sorrow dread! Our God is dead, Upon the cross extended. There His love enlivened us As His life was ended. O Virgin's Son, What Thou hast won Is far beyond all telling: How our God, detested, died, Hell and devil felling.

It's really interesting to read about how he converted; basically he is making the point that when he investigated the claims of Islam and the claims of the Bible, it was obvious to him that the Bible is true and Islam is not. He also has some interesting things to say about Hamas and Islam, and Israel. Here he explains how he learned about Christianity and converted:"It began about eight years ago. I was in Jerusalem and I received an invitation to come and hear about Christianity. Out of curiosity I went. I was very enthusiastic about what I heard. I began to read the Bible every day and I continued with religion lessons. I did it in secret, of course. I used to travel to the Ramallah hills, to places like the Al Tira neighborhood, and to sit there quietly with the amazing landscape and read the Bible. A verse like "Love thine enemy" had a great influence on me. At this stage I was still a Muslim and I thought that I would remain one. But every day I saw the terrible things done in the name of religion by those who considered themselves 'great believers.' I studied Islam more thoroughly and found no answers there. I reexamined the Koran and the principals of the faith and found how it is mistaken and misleading. The Muslims borrowed rituals and traditions from all the surrounding religions.""...I now see God through Jesus and can tell about him for days on end, whereas the Muslims won't be able to say anything about God. I consider Islam a big lie. The people who supposedly represent the religion admired Mohammed more than God, killed innocent people in the name of Islam, beat their wives and don't have any idea what God is. I have no doubt that they'll go to Hell. I have a message for them: There is only one way to Paradise - the way of Jesus who sacrificed himself on the cross for all of us."He has this to say about Hamas, Israel, and the Mideast peace process:"You Jews Thu, 14 Aug 2008 23:17:00 GMT http://www.wikio.co.uk/info?id=67801008 noreply@blogger.com (Amanda McClain) 2008-08-14T23:17:00Z http://www.wikio.co.uk/info?id=67274058 When Dr. Joseph Warren died at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, his estate was burdened with debts. Those finances were also tangled up in the estate of the spectacular bankrupt Nathaniel Wheelwright , which the doctor had agreed to administer. As I described yesterday, Warren left behind four children and a fiancée named Mercy Scollay . (Ironically, Mercy’s father, selectman John Scollay , had been forced into bankruptcy after Wheelwright’s collapse, and had had to dig himself out of that financial hole.) Mercy Scollay took on the task of raising the Warren children and arranging for their education . The eldest boy was of particular concern, according to the values of the time: as the son of a gentleman and a martyr, Joseph simply had to go to Harvard —but who would pay the fees for schooling (the Boston schools were closed during the siege), tutoring, and the college itself? Scollay asked lots of people for support. The local Freemasons seem to have been the first to respond to her. In January 1777, Samuel Adams proposed at the Continental Congress that “the eldest son...might be adopted by the continent, and educated at the public expense.” On 18 May, he sent Scollay this letter , shared online by the Massachusetts Historical Society: With respect [the M.H.S. transcription has “request”] to the youngest Son and Daughter, I mentiond my strong Desire that they might be continued under your care; and that means might be continued to have the eldest son sent to Dummers School [now the Governor’s Academy in Byfield, Massachusetts]. . . . While I was in Baltimore, an opportunity presented of making a Proposal, which, if agreed to, would be honorary to my friend and beneficial to his Son. General [ Hugh] Mercer having been slain in Battle [at Princeton], or rather Barbarously murdered [not really], a Motion was made in Congress for a Monument to be erected to his Memory, and that his youngest Son should be educated at the Expense of the Continent. I did not think my self partial in judging that the services and Merit of General Warren considered as a Patriot or as a Soldier were not inferior to those of General Mercer, and therefore added to the Motion that the same Honor should paid to his memory and that one of this Sons should be educated—I proposed the eldest. It was agreed that my Motion should be first entered on the Journal, and a Committee was appointed to consider of both. Congress soon after adjorned to this Place [back to Philadelphia]. The gentlemen of the Committee are not all of them arrived. I am persuaded it will be agreed to in the Committee, but as the Determination in the House may be uncertain, I think it best that it should not be made known abroad [i.e., publicly], till we see the event. That sort of regional horse-trading in legislation is not unfamiliar today. What about the three other children: Elizabeth, Mary, and Richard? Gen. Benedict Arnold wrote to Scollay offering $500 in July 1778 and again in late 1779 in case the Congress didn’t offer additional funds. Mercy Warren of Plymouth ( her husband no close relation to the Warrens) was apparently interested in bringing up Elizabeth, but the girl chose not to leave her school in Boston. A 20 Dec 1779 letter from Samuel Adams relays this news from Dr. John Warren, the children’s uncle: the eldest son was, as early as it could be done, put under the care and tuition of the Rev. Mr. [Phillips] Payson, of Chelsea; a gentleman whose qualifications for the instructing of youth, I need not mention to you. The lad still remains with him. The eldest daughter...is with the doctor; and he assures me, that no gentleman’s daughter in this town has more of the advantage of schools than she has at his expense. She learns music , dancing, writing and arithmetic, and the best needle-work that is taught here. The doctor, I dare say, takes good care of her morals. The two younger children, a boy of about seven years, and a girl somewhat older, are in the family of John Scollay, Esq., under the particular care of his daughter In 1780, Congress took up the issue of the other three children, noting that “it appears no adequate provision can be made out of his [the late father’s] private fortune.” The national government decided that Massachusetts should step up with its own money, but agreed to provide half of a major-general’s pay until the youngest child came of age. The back pay came to $7,000, historian Jared Sparks later calculated. Of course, inflation was eating away the value of that money. What return did the nation get on its payments for the boys’ education? Not much, alas. The young Joseph Warren graduated from Harvard in the class of 1786, served as a militia officer at the Castle , and died at age 22. His little brother Richard went into business and died at 21. Elizabeth married Gen. Arnold Welles and died without having children. Mary married twice, and is the only child of Dr. Joseph Warren to have left heirs. The major local legacy of Dr. Joseph Warren came through his younger brother, also a physician. Dr. John Warren helped to found Harvard Medical School. His son Dr. John Collins Warren helped to establish the New England Journal of Medicine and the Massachusetts General Hospital , and performed the first surgery under ether anesthesia .

Bell 2008-08-10T14:23:00Z http://www.wikio.co.uk/info?id=67486453 WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Honoring leaders on Capitol Hill for improving the American quality of life through family-friendly work policies, Working Mother Media and Corporate Voices for Working Families are announcing the 24 recipients of the inaugural Best of Congress award. The award spotlights congressional excellence in supporting working families through legislation and by practicing what they preach -- employing family-friendly policies in their own offices. Equally important, the award honors individual members of Congress from both sides of the aisle and throughout the country for their leadership in improving the quality of life for working families. Recipients of the Best of Congress award are featured in the August/September 2008 issue of Working Mother magazine and at . "Not only did we judge the esteemed members on their voting records for supporting working families, we also examined the benefits that their own employees receive like paid leave and flextime," Carol Evans, CEO, Working Mother Media, said. "There are no rules about flextime or paid leave for Congressional staff. They are stepping up voluntarily because they believe in progressive policies and act on their beliefs in the real world managing their staff." "The recipients of the Best of Congress award serve as models for what can be accomplished through legislation and a personal commitment to policies that benefit working families," Donna Klein, president and founder of Corporate Voices for Working Families, said. "As our nation wrestles with a host of economic and other issues involving working families, these members of Congress deserve to be congratulated and recognized nationally for their leadership and support." Recipients of the Best of Congress award are: U.S. Senate -- Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (D-Delaware) -- Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) -- Robert P. Casey, Jr. (D-Pennsylvania) -- Christopher J. Dodd (D-Connecticut) -- Elizabeth Dole (R-North Caroli Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:30:00 GMT http://www.wikio.co.uk/info?id=67486453 2008-08-12T12:30:00Z
