The more things change…
Dennis Kucinich
Rep. Kucinich certainly had a very busy day yesterday.
He officially (to no one’s surprise but his own) ended his ill-fated bid for the Democratic nomination.
The video embedded here then shows him discussing his plans (earlier that day?) to introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush. (He had tried last November to impeach the Vice President, and was essentially laughed off the floor by his own party.)
He then actually returns to the floor a few minutes later & retracts his “offending words”.
Good luck in Congress, Mr. Kucinich. Cleveland can have you.
P.S.
Stop quoting the Bible.
Quote of the Day
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honours of thy name.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘Tis life, and health, and peace.
He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
He speaks, and, listening to his voice,
New life the dead receive,
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
Look unto him, ye nations, own
Your God, ye fallen race;
Look, and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.
See all your sins on Jesus laid:
The Lamb of God was slain,
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man.
Awake from guilty nature’s sleep,
And Christ shall give you light,
Cast all your sins into the deep,
And wash you purest white.
With me, your chief, ye then shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.
… Charles Wesley

Reserve Reading #1 – The NT Documents – Are They Reliable?
Tom Cruise on Scientology
In case you are the last person in the free world to hear about it, this video burst on the scene a few days ago.
Here are some notes I found to help as you watch:
Definitions:
*KSW (short for Keeping Scientology Working): A policy written byHubbard in the 1960′s that requires all Scientologists to follow hiswords and his rules exactly.”
Orgs: Orgs is an abbreviation for “organizations” and describes allchurches of Scientology throughout the world.
*David Miscavige: He is the current leader of Scientology. He’s theequivalent of the Pope to the Catholics.*Out-ethics: any behavior that violates any of Hubbard’s rules of conduct.
*Put ethics in on someone else: make others conform to Hubbard’s rulesof behavior.
*Criminon: Scientology front group that tries to recruit through the prisons.
* SP: Suppressive Person. Anyone that doesn’t like Scientology and/orcriticizes Scientology.
*PTS/SP: another Hubbard term to define behavior that goesagainst Scientology rules.
*LRH technology or “tech”: all the Scientology policies, rules,mandates, procedures.
I found this just recently as an interesting response to Scientology.
Certainly the video has a radical agenda that I do NOT endorse, but I find some of the observations to be quite thought provoking. No doubt both videos will provoke strong reaction.
Judge for yourself.
Discuss.
