Questions for Christmas

For the most part the topics of religion and politics were avoided, but the following questions were raised (not by me) while visiting the family over the holidays:

  • Is it right that Chris Matthews is allowed to be biased in favor of Barack Obama?
  • Is Barack Obama really the most liberal (recently former) US senator?
  • As an IL state senator, did Barack Obama railroad a bill that would have protected babies from murder? In short, is the president elect an avowed baby-killer?

The first question just kinda made me laugh. The second, though I went in defensive mode initially, is really a pointless question for liberals like me. The last turned into a heated debate that went nowhere.

It's going to be an interesting new year.

Did you delete part of this post or another, or am I getting confused with the many post-vacation blogs I have to catch up on? I could have sworn I read a rude story here where your host gave atheists the what for...

Hey, Chanson! Happy new year.

Nope, this is it from me. I have more post-vacation blogging to come but no atheist smack-down stories.
