Will gas prices at record highs the Republicans in the House again showed their loyalty to Big Oil over the American but passing another huge giveaway to help cash rich oil companies to build more refineries. The bill does nothing to curb gas prices or the expected huge increase in heating oil and natural gas prices expected this winter. The government has become the looter of the people attaching itself to us like a leach instead of serving the people like it should be. The American people are like the proverbial from in a pot of boiling water. We have accepted far to much government corruption and we are a nation in deep denial.

Is Creationism evolving into Intelligent Design? As our scientific knowledge increases it is becoming more and more obvious that the universe is more than a few thousand years old. We now know through genetic mapping that humans and monkeys are a 98.5% genetic match. So in order for creationism to survive in the face of scientific evidence the concept of creationism is evolving. Now the word "day" in the Bible might mean "a thousand years" or perhaps a billion years. And as we see science take apart the Bible we see Creationism evolving into "Intelligent Design".
But Intelligent Design just obscures science. It basically assumes that anything complex had to be made by "someone" and it stops there. I find it dishonest for Christians to claim that ID isn't really Creationism and should consider the commandment "Thou shalt not lie". I would encourage Christianity to evolve into reality.

I'm concerned about Bush's pick of Harriet Ellan Miers for the Supreme Court because she has never been a judge. Bush seems to want to pick his personal friends for high positions instead of people who are experienced an competent. Why pick someone to be a judge on the Supreme Court who has never been a judge? That makes as much sense as Michael Brown being picked to be head of FEMA - and we know how that turned out.

I'm sure that there will me more to come on this - but has this person even argued a case in the Supreme Court? Is she even a member of the Supreme Court Bar? This woman's only qualification is she's a Bush political hack.
