The fifteenth century saw the return of the popes to Rome and also the dawn of the Renaissance with its humanistic revival of interest in antiquity.

AP - The public must pressure Republicans in the White House and Congress to change directions in the country's energy policies, which have pushed oil and gas prices to record highs, a Democratic lawmaker said Saturday.

A determined Senator Hillary Clinton today refused to drop out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination and instead revamped her campaign strategy to focus on the upcoming West Virginia primary.Appearing at a rally in Morgantown, West Virginia, the Senator announced, “This race is about something bigger than my ego. What’s bigger than that? It’s so big that I dare not speak Its name aloud, but y’all know what I mean.”Sporting a new look, the Senator wore overalls and had two front teeth missing, and the newly energized candidate repeatedly poked her corncob pipe at the audience to emphasize her points.“Ah’m a straight shooter,” she said. “My daddy taught me how to shoot straight when I was a little girl, and when ah’ve said in the past that ah’m for gun

"The debate on the Senate floor over a bill that would expand the prohibition of sexual orientation-based discrimination became personal and emotional this morning after a senator offered a rhetorical amendment to ban discrimination against short people.
Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, withdrew the stunt amendment after arguing that there is no need for the bill because he has not seen evidence that gays and lesbians are discriminated against when seeking a job or a home.
“What I’m talking about is economic discrimination, political discrimination, employment discrimination,” Brophy said. “I find no patter

Democrat's 2000 Vice Presidential NomineeSays "He Willl If Asked"Lieberman May Go Zell...Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the Democratic Party’s 2000 vice presidential nominee, is leaving open the possibility of giving a keynote address on behalf of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) at the Republican National Convention in September.Republicans close to the McCain campaign say Lieberman’s appearance at the convention, possibly before a national primetime audience, could help make the case that the presumptive GOP nominee has a record of crossing the aisle. That could appeal to much-needed independent voters.McCain has yet to ask Lieberman to speak, either in primetime or elsewhere, at the convention. But if McCain thinks it will help make his case for the White House, as some of his allies suspect

One of the fundamental tenets of the New Age religion is that humanity is entering a "new era" in which all of the religions of the past will have to be subverted and in some way assimilated. It is believed that Christianity is a barbaric religion which is not fit for "modern man" and must be overpowered. Christianity must be purged of its fundamental dogmas and reinterpreted. Many New Agers hold that those who refuse to embrace this reinterpretation of Christianity will have to be "cleansed." By this they mean eliminated.Atheism has become more sophisticated. The atheism of the future will not say, "God does not exist." Instead, it will assert that "Man is God," "humanity is God."And just as Feurbach and Marx held that religion is induced by man's social suffering and by his oppression an
It was Karl Marx who said that, "Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man—state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d'honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against reli

Is anyone really surprised that Mukasey is trying to delay congressional inquiries into the CIA’s destruction of interrogation videotapes? Or that the DOJ is trying to get U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy to “stay out of the matter”

In an effort to unseat the man who helped Bush cover up warrantless domestic wiretapping, the manipulation of intelligence to shanghai us into war in Iraq, the outing of a covert CIA agent, and the CIA's use of torture, I'm posting this release from entrepreneur Greg Orman, an Olathe, Kansas area Democrat who announced today he will challenge Pat Roberts in 2008. From the press release;Kansas Businessman and Entrepreneur Greg Ormanto Run for United States SenateOrman: “Everyday Kansans Deserve a Senator with the Right Priorities”Olathe, KS – Olathe businessman and entrepreneur Greg Orman (D) today filed his official Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission, making it official that Orman will challenge long-term incumbent Pat Roberts in the 2008 election for United States Senate.“As I look at what’s going on in Washington, and the course we’re on as a nation, I am convinced we can and should be doing better,” Orman said of his decision to run.“Like

Al Franken For Senate
Al Franken enters Minn. Senate race
Now it's official. As had been rumored for some time, comedian/liberal radio host Al Franken is running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in his native Minnesota. He's challenging the incumbent, Republican Sen. Norm Coleman.
"I've spent my career as a comedian," he says on his website today. "Minnesotans have a right to be skeptical about whether I'm ready for this challeng
I could care less if Larry Craig is gay or not. The fact is that 8 other men admitted to having sexual encounters with him in the past; and once again, he is denying it. This is the same man that said:
“I am not gay and have never been gay”
The issue with me is not that he is or isn’t gay. I’m more upset that this so-called Senator does not have the courage to admit it! He is a hypocrite and this sickens me. It’s republicans like this that make all conservatives look bad!
I don’t know. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe there is some global conspiracy against Larry. Maybe these eight men just want their 15 minutes of fame. Hah! I doubt it.
Larry, if you read this: please do yourself and all of us a favor and just quit. Be a man, step up to the plate and admit it; and then step down so someone with dignity can take your place!

Over the weekend, major media outlets across Texas were littered with stories about Lance Armstrong’s political potential.
Of course, the media proclaims to have no clue about Armstrong’s political party affiliation. Evidently, nobody in the MSM realizes they can just call the elections office of the county in which Armstrong is registered to vote and simply ask them to fax his voting history, which would show if he’d voted in a primary election.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’d like to see Lance Armstrong run for Governor or U.S. Senate about as much as I’d like to see the Olsen Twins make another direct-to-video movie. In other words, he’s nowhere in my top 100 list of future Texas political candidates–from either party.
It’s not that he’s not a hero to millions or an instant vote-getter–I’m sure those things are true.
The reason I don’t want to see Lance Armstrong run for office is because he
As homage to the art of Glashütte watchmaking so rich in tradition, the Saxon watch manufactory presents two of its well-known masterpieces featuring flying tourbillons in a new look.The filigreed tourbillon carriage is a special accent within the well-known, asymmetrical dial of the PanoMaticTourbillon.Seeming to float, this finely finished tourbillon cage revolves on its own axis once every minute, simultaneously taking on the function of displaying the seconds.The hour and minute hands glide across the fine hand-guilloché, silver-grey galvanized dial. The characteristic panorama date, which gives this demanding edition its name, can be found at the 3 o’clock position. Eighty-seven brilliant-cut diamonds, 64 of which are on the bezel, perfect this timepiece’s impressive appearance. Additonally, there are two precious models with black galvanized dial:Related topics:Glashutte Original: New Panomatic Chronograph is being presented in Dubai
I am a feminist and the one (and probably only) thing that makes me want to vote for Hillary Clinton is sexist comments against her.
Here are some of the press offenses that Media Matters has detailed.
During the first debate on April 26th- MSNBC host Chris Matthews focused obsessively on the appearances of Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) wife, Michelle, to the point that NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell reminded him that they are Yale and Harvard-educated lawyers, respectively. MSNBC host Tucker Carlson asked a Clinton campaign spokesman whether Clinton had an “unfair advantage because of her sex.”
This summer after an appearance where Senator Clinton wore a blouse that showed some cleavage MSNBC devoted a total of 23 minutes and 42 seconds to discuss her cleavage and CNN devoted 3 minutes and 54 seconds to the coverage.
Following her appearance on all five Sunday political talk shows on September 23 — NBC’s Meet th
