Lazy = Day Light Savings

I have been feeling lazy & grumpy today, so I am going to blame it on Daylight Savings Time.......oh yeah and we are also at war. War tends to piss me off.


This is a fun article from ColoradoPols.com:

"Colorado's own James "SpongeDob" Dobson raised eyebrows last week in a letter to the National Association of Evangelicals, calling for the firing of their vice president for his promotion of global warming as an important issue for Christians.

Claimed Dobson, "we believe the NAE lacks the expertise to settle the controversy, and that the issue should be addressed scientifically and not theologically." Seriously, that's what he said.

Yesterday, the NAE responded -- basically telling Dobson and (lobbyist?) friends to get stuffed. As the Washington Post reports:

Rebuffing Christian radio commentator James C. Dobson, the board of directors of the National Association of Evangelicals reaffirmed its position that environmental protection, which it calls "creation care," is an important moral issue.

Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, and two dozen other conservative Christian leaders, including Gary L. Bauer, Tony Perkins and Paul M. Weyrich, sent the board a letter this month denouncing the association's vice president, the Rev. Richard Cizik, for urging attention to global warming...
This row between preachers over global warming makes Dobson, already on the defensive for blatant Republican political machinations under the guise of "religious leadership," look even more like a shill than he did last week hosting his "Meet Newt the Confessor" radio interview. It's over the top.

Does this mark the zenith of Dobson's influence in American politics? Is it all downhill from here? Is Dobson out of his purview questioning climate science as a religious reader? Is the NAE exceeding theirs by prioritizing it? Who will win this battle for the religious right's (excuse us) soul?

Guess it depends on how you feel about global warming..."
