Tell it, Brother Terrance -
Unless he’s going to actually govern, Jesus is not relevant to the presidential race. Nor is what the candidates think of him , or if they think of him at all, since their religious beliefs shouldn’t be the basis of public policy. It doesn’t matter whether a candidate believes in Jesus any more than it does whether he/she believes in leprechauns.
It doesn’t matter whether Obama believes in Jesus or not. It matters that it matters. And it matters that that doesn’t matter.
On a related note — I swear to god, I am going to lose it if one more uberconservative religious family member or acquaintance sends me that ludicrous “Obama Is A Radical Muslim” email.

Why elected officials, who must know their every move will eventually hit the papers, do illegal things.

I am coming off several crazed weeks of work – I am exhausted from the stress and hours, my husband is exhausted from picking up all my family slack on top of his own job and my kids are cranky and mad at me for not paying any attention to them lately. Plus this week is their spring break. So I am trying to get us all out of town for a couple of days this week to relax and just hang out together.
I don’t want to spend too much money, drive too far or work too hard to plan it — just a low-cost, low-key, low-effort trip. We are considering San Antonio, either the Hill Country Hyatt or somewhere on the Riverwalk. I am also looking around for a quiet vacation rental on the river. Maybe Houston. The girls suggested the beach but I have no desire to surround myself with college kids gone wild. Any ideas?
