Crazy Religious Zealots for Obama! (w/ Update) Across the US, Activism, Barack Obama, Campaign '08, Religion | (3)
If you haven't seen this video of Obama supporter, Catholic Priest Michael Pfleger, you can watch it here: [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=_H11x6bMu4Y[/youtube] Can anyone say nut job? For those of you who don't recall his name, this is the same priest that used to protest the Jerry Springer show in the late 1990's, and this is also the same guy who urged his parishioners to "buy time" with prostitutes to preach the gospel.

Wishing ‘Senator Ted’ a speedy recovery Beltway Politics, Congress | (2)
Today I had the opportunity to get a rare glimpse into just how powerful and revered certain members of the Senate can be, amongst “politicos” from both sides. As I’m sure you all have heard Senator Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
