The same people who gushed about the virtues of the free market, and the “slam dunk” WMDs in Iraq, get to air their wrongness every Sunday, while the ones who were right — the pro-regulation, anti-war crowd, are shut out of the conversation entirely.

Almost a decade ago, I began getting emails from a person I never knew and never did know about a group that was intent (yea, verily: hell-bent) on putting their version of Jesus into world power, a theocracy with its own peculiar convictions. I'd get 200 emails a day, which stories to watch, who to follow. And so all this long strange trip from then to now -- well -- no real surprise. But knowing doesn't stop a thing; information isn't always power. So please: pay attention. And if you're Rapture-bent and Palin and Billy and Hagee and Doug Coe appeal to you, understand that world is man created, and not the world you think it will be.
The nuns taught me that Jesus is there in anyone's eyes if I look for him: THAT is the meaning of incarnation. It's in your power now.
What beats my heart?

understanding mammograpy
excerpt, The trouble with mammograms
The detection of tumors that would never have caused trouble is known in the medical trade as overdiagnosis. It's a common problem with screening tests, which, by definition, aim to detect disease in people without symptoms.
Breast cancers generally behave in one of three ways. Some grow very aggressively and metastasize (i.e. spread to other tissues) long before any mammogram can detect them. Others grow more gradually and can be successfully treated if caught early. Still others grow so slowly that they'll never cause the woman a problem.
Autopsy studies have found undetected breast cancer in about 37% of women who died of some other cause. And a study of 42,238 Norwegian women published in November calculated that 22% of symptom-free cancers found on a screening mammogram naturally regressed on their own.
The problem is that, even under a microscope, it's impossible to distinguish these different types of cancer from one another, and mammograms are better at catching the less dangerous kinds.

Horowitz really off the deep-end
He's really gotten shameful. It's so obvious that his ego has him by the balls. Beck, the pathetic walking wounded, watches him with eyes of such admiration. (When have Republicans ever supported labor, the things that brought us better wages, decent hours, safe working conditions, compensation for injury? When have they supported the working class? Womens' rights in the workplace? Fed aide to Education? Student loans? Clean air? On and on. Those are the things the Democrats have brought us; and yes, they do protect the "underdog.")
I watch Horowitz and Beck and wonder. What world do they want? Left to actually deal with problems, and offering only divisiveness / unity through fear and hate, how would they shape it?
They're shaping it now.
I'm used to the twisting (re mammography, my views here; and please know, I'm a cancer survivor, and x-rays may have contributed to my cancer), but looking at Frontpage Mag today to see who advertises there, we find a sidebar for a new book by Jaime Glazov, United in Hate.
What troubles me most is how very much the ad reminds me of posters from the Third Reich’s propaganda machine, the Jewish "enemy." (And how is this not antisemitism, o my brothers?) Where has hate ever gotten us? What world would you bring our children?

The story for me will always be about the mystery of life/death, the scintilla, and how we come to terms with a creator (being human, I tend to frame things in cause/effect) that lets us die. As for me, I think it's nothing personal, just that old best that can be done for now. But together we'll think of something.
"I am guarding my light and my treasure,
convinced that nobody would gain and I
myself would be badly, even hopelessly
injured, if I should lose it. It is the most
precious not only to me, but above all to
the darkness of the creator, who needs man
to illuminate his creation." ~
