This is a great piece. Partly because it is just a hilariously true story about the shenanigans that Acorn pulls and partly because it is fun watching Jon Stewart’s eyes being opened. Jon Stewart does say a couple of bad words but they are completely bleeped. I laughed so hard about the whole situation that I teared up a bit.

Apparently Acorn claims the tapes have been altered but they have fired every employee in them.
The Right Coast has a really interesting piece on Iran. While I knew that Iran used to be Persia and that it formerly had Nazi ties. But I didn’t not realized that Iran means “Land of the Aryans”. It has some other great info and links to more resources so go check it out!
We know that the teacher’s unions don’t work for the parents. We also know they don’t work for the students. That is perfectly illustrated by the teacher who got her job back after getting her class to vote a boy out who has Asperger’s.
I understand that the 4th of July is to celebrate all our rights but I have never heard about bringing your gun to church to celebrate. Apparently this is what 1 pastor inviting his parishioners to do for the June 27th service. Now you aren’t allowed to bring them loaded (and there will private security to check) but there will be lots of festivities including a gun raffle. I find this really interesting, not disturbing but a little odd. I am curious if this give my pastor any ideas. I mean we do have a gun club at our church (well, they go somewhere else to shoot;). What do you think? Pastor?

Since the President is appointing a Supreme Court Justice it is a great time to find out information on previous justices. In that vein I recommend going over to The Stimulist and read about 5 of the most surprising appointments. I don’t agree with the degree of surprise on some of them but it is a great read! I personally don’t think that Black and his KKK membership really was all that shocking in relation to FDR’s appointment of him.
This doesn’t even account for how many children choose to not walk in their parents Christian faith. So what do you all think about this? Does it make you want to have more kids? Less? Don’t care? Let’s converse;).
I found this really interesting (and true). My friend Nick posted it over at Facebook and I thought it was something all could be intrigued by!
CNN has a very interesting map of where the bank failures and home foreclosures are at (per state). I was kind of shocked to see here in California our foreclosure rate was under 5%.

What makes me the most nervous about Obama and his Christianity is that he would need to ask Christ if he is “going up or going down”. I can say that I am saved because Christ died for me and that it isn’t in negotiation.
