“I don’t think God blesses America in some special way. The God I worship is far too big and grand to be limited to fifty states…. We think of ourselves as a chosen people, and unique in God’s eyes, but everyone s unique in God’s eyes…. There’s nothing wrong with feeling good, but love of country is not the same as love of God, and they should not be confused.”

- The Reverend Peter J. Gomes, Minister of the Memorial church and professor at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Quoted in the Boston Globe, September 14, 2003

“No on Prop 8
October 24, 2008
Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.”

““Senator Obama has spoken a lot about how we oughta relate to the world, and yes, he’ll get out and travel some in the first year, we should want him to do it. But he is going to have to be really focused on fixing this economy. That means that role of the Vice President in repairing quickly our relations with the rest of the world will be relatively more important in the first two years of the next presidency.
“And I am just telling you, you can talk to me or anybody else at any time in Washington, and they will tell you there is nobody, nobody in the entire United States senate that understands the political, the economic, and the security challenges and opportunities of the world better than Joe Biden does. He is a superb choice.””

“For years now, they’ve told us that we can’t afford—that the government providing healthcare to all people is just unimaginable; it can’t be done. We don’t have the money to rebuild our infrastructure. We don’t have the money to wipe out poverty. We can’t do it. But all of a sudden, yeah, we do have $700 billion for a bailout of Wall Street.”

"You need lunch"

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 11:48:01 -0500

Me: (playing with the cardboard information tag from one of the two backpacks we purchased last weekend) We only got an information card for one backpack. I'm tempted to return to Eddie Bauer and, um, acquire one for the other pack.

Her: You need lunch.
