I have been missing sharing with everyone as Cindy and I are in Texas visiting her “sweet daddy” for a few days here in the South-O’-Houston humididididtity. One of my wife’s (and over the years now mine) favorite places to eat is Hinze’s BBQ...real Texas, real good...mmmmmm.
So today we had a chance to have lunch with our own Elvis (he didn’t bring the dogs) at Hinze’s...that’s Elvis-N-yer’s truly pointing at the sign...and yes it’s our good side. Elvis is a really good man, and no suprisingly is a very well spoken gentleman as my Cindy said. Later this evening we will probably meet up for a beer and maybe an opportunity to meet Mrs. Elvis. While we were eating lunch my son son called to tell me that he leaves for the Navy on August 9th so if you would be so kind as to share this picture and quick note with everyone I would very much appreciate it and in the process let me say how much you are all thought of and if you would remember my son in your prayers I would be very much appreciatin’ it.

Anna Christie: Gif me a visky, ginger ale on the side, and don’ be stingy, baby.
One of the guests will be Michael Moore who is promoting his new film “Sicko,” which promotes government run health care.
“I certainly do not agree with Mr. Moore regarding health care reform,” said Ms. Parker, “however, I look forward to a lively discussion.”
Prior to her involvement in social activism, Star Parker was a single welfare mother in Los Angeles, California. After receiving Christ, Star returned to college, received a BS degree in marketing and launched an urban Christian magazine. The 1992 Los Angeles riots destroyed her business, yet served as a springboard for her focus on faith and market-based alternatives to empower the lives of the poor.
Star Parker’s personal transformation from welfare fraud to conservative crusader has been chronicled by ABC’s 20/20; Rush Limbaugh; Readers Digest; Dr. James Dobson; The 700 Club; Dr. George Grant; the Washington Times; Christianity Today; Charisma, and World Magazine. Articles and quotes by Star have appeared in major publications including the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the New York Times.
As a social policy consultant, Star Parker gives regular testimony before the United States Congress, and is a national expert on major television and radio shows across the country. Currently, Star regularly offers social and political commentary for the BBC, CNN, MSNBC and FOX News. Her weekly columns are syndicated in Scripps-Howard newspapers nationally, she has debated Jesse Jackson on BET; fought for school choice on Larry King Live; and defended welfare reform on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Muslim leaders in Metro Detroit have decided not to raise private money to pay for two footbaths at a local college campus now that the American Civil Liberties Union has said the plan doesn’t pose constitutional problems.
The University of Michigan-Dearborn’s plan to spend $25,000 on the footbaths was criticized on conservative blogs and radio shows this month. Critics said using public money for the project would violate the First Amendment, which says governments can’t favor or subsidize religions.Muslims are required to wash body parts, including feet, up to five times daily before prayers.
University officials say the floor-level wash basins are needed because some students at the 8,600-student campus wash their feet in the sinks.
Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said his group was concerned a public outcry would cause the university to back down from the project.
“If the ACLU had decided to take legal action against the UM-Dearborn, we probably would have called for the university to raise the funds privately, just so that the UM-Dearborn wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of having to defend its position against the ACLU,” Walid said.
Kary Moss, director of the Detroit branch of the ACLU, said its review concluded the plan is a “reasonable accommodation” to resolve “safety and cleanliness issues” that arose when Muslims used public sinks for foot cleaning before prayers, which often spilled water on bathroom floors.
“We view it as an attempt to deal with a problem, not an attempt to make it easier for Muslims to pray,” said Moss, who likened the plan to paying for added police during religious events with huge turnouts.
here it comes...
Rev. Ann Holmes Redding… “I am both Muslim and Christian, just like I’m both an American of African descent and a woman. I’m 100 percent both.”
... She calls Christianity the “world religion of privilege.”
..."To walk into Al-Islam and be reminded that there are more people of color in the world than white people, that in itself is a relief,”
