love this political climate!

We have had a climate where as little as 3 years ago all 3 branches of federal government (judicial, executive and legislative) were lead by obvious Republicans. I say "obvious" b/c that ties the judicial branch to the Republicans even though that branch is supposed to be seemingly "non-partisan".
Now we live in an environment where Democrats lead 2 out of 3 branches of federal government; the last branch, the judicial branch still in conservatives' hands. The poster child of Republicans these days has been Rush Limbaugh, the blowhard liar on conservative talk radio. Rush has stated that he wanted the only president our nation has to FAIL. So, we are going to make him and his backers pay the political price for that.
We figure the best defense is a good offense. So, the Democratic Party is putting up a billboard in Rush's hometown that states, "Americans didn't vote for a Rush to failure". The best part is that they give Rush a Pinnochio nose. How appropriate, he "lies like a rug"!!!
I kind of like the one that was rejected as a billboard which was "Being stupid, fat and conservative is no way to go through life, son!" As Keith Oberman correctly pointed out personal jokes about someone's build (whether it be toothpick, obese or otherwise) are out of bounds. So, maybe they made the right choice in picking the billboard to oppose Rush with.
There are already conservatives whining about the virtue of putting a billboard up attacking Rush. Too bad, it's about time someone or something stood up to him and told him that he is as wrong as a MAJORITY of Americans are right last November 4th.

I have enjoyed reading about your family very much. Such a lovely site you have! As a good Catholic, we Americans need a liberator like St. Joan of Arc that will free our nation of apostate sinners, immorality, and return all to the Church.

Today, May 8, French Catholics celebrate the liberation of Orleans, France by St. Joan of Arc. Never has one so young been the general of a nation's army nor sacrificed as much as she did for her king and country. So, in honor of this great woman warrior, and in tribute to the people of France, I invite you to view these two links:

1) "Joan of Arc" video from YouTube.com: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjGJyV98jFw. There are many videos on YouTube depicting her, but I think this one is quite lovely and is my favorite.

2) "Joan of Arc" tribute site: http://home.earthlink.net/~werewolfking/JoanOfArc/JoanOfArc.htm. This site is a multi-media presentation about Joan of Arc. Designed by yours truly, it's a summation of her life and accomplishments using text, art, and music.
