Obama Doing Fundraising for Reid (STOP HIM), GM Takeover Continues, The Missing Link?

1) Obama to attend Vegas fundraiser for Reid: Let’s Donate Instead to Reid’s Arch Rival President Obama is planning to make a fundraising trip to Las Vegas, NV on May 26 for Harry Reid. As president, Obama has helped raise money for Democratic candidates by attending two DNC-sponsored fundraisers in Washington. This is his first appearance at an event for an individual candidate. (See: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/05/12/obama-to-attend-vegas-fundraiser-for-reid/).   Not fair, you say? Unethical?  Then send a message to Harry Reid and make an investment in liberty by investing in Sharron Angle’s campaign. Can you imagine the look on his face when he wakes up on May 27th and discovers Sharron Angle, his arch rival, has received more donations then he did on the 26th without the help of the President? Here’s how it’s done: 1. Go to Sharron Angle's website (http://www.sharronangle.com/) and donate a minimum of $35.00 (more is always appreciated), or go to http://nvaction.com/NACHarryBlast.html.  2. Send this to everyone on your email list. (Especially if your friends are out of state)   3. Ask your friends to send this email to everyone on their email list. 1a) Reid joins Biden, Pelosi in misstatements (as if you needed more reasons to want him out) WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid became the latest Democrat to stray into rhetorical trouble Tuesday, botching statements on three subjects in one news conference — including the fragile health of the chamber's most senior members.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The magnitude-4.1 temblor hit at 3:49 p.m. and was centered 10 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles near the Los Angeles International Airport, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Scientists said the latest rattle was a typical aftershock.

The discovery of the 95%-complete 'lemur monkey' - dubbed Ida - is described by experts as the "eighth wonder of the world". They say its impact on the world of palaeontology will be "somewhat like an asteroid falling down to Earth". Researchers say proof of this transitional species finally confirms Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and the then radical, outlandish ideas he came up with during his time aboard the Beagle. Sir David Attenborough said Darwin "would have been thrilled" to have seen the fossil - and says it tells us who we are and where we came from. Are you kidding me????? If we really evolved from monkeys or some monkey-like creature, there would by MYRIADS of transitional forms, not just this one 47 million-billion-trillion-zillion year-old fossil (and don‘t get me started about the inaccuracies in dating these things), which, I predict, will be proved to be actually some form of lemur monkey in less than a year. BUT, you won’t hear about that.  See: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Missing-Link-Scientists-In-New-York-Unveil-Fossil-Of-Lemur-Monkey-Hailed-As-Mans-Earliest-Ancestor/Article/200905315284582?lpos=World_News_Carousel_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_15284582_Missing_Link%3A_Scientists_In_New_ 6) 'Patriot pastors' called to crush 'hate crimes' bill America has become a morally bankrupt society that embraces intolerance against Christians, including a new push for "hate crimes" legislation, according to one pastor who believes it's all because church leaders have failed to do their jobs. But this Memorial Day weekend he is calling ministers to fight for those freedoms – from their pulpits.  "Pastors, if you wonder who is to blame for America's slide from the 'Ozzie and Harriet' morality of yesteryear to the 'Brokeback Mountain' immorality of today, look in the mirror," said Pastor Paul Blair of Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, Okla (emphasis mine). Blair is founder of a group called Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ, an outreach to pastors that encourages church leaders to take a stand against the spread of immorality in American culture. He is urging pastors across the nation to stop being silent and muster the courage to speak out against efforts to criminalize Christianity. He said church leaders have abandoned the prophetic call and have chosen instead to be CEOs of competitive church businesses rather than proclaiming "faith in Christ alone and repentance from sin."
