(Via Politico)  A finding in a study on the relationship between science literacy and political ideology surprised the Yale professor behind it: Tea party members know more science than non-tea partiers.
Yale law professor Dan Kahan posted on his blog this week that he analyzed the responses of a set of more than 2,000 American adults recruited for another study and found that, on average, people who leaned liberal were more science literate than those who leaned conservative.
However, those who identified as part of the tea party movement were actually better versed in science than those who didn’t, Kahan found. The findings met the conventional threshold of statistical significance, the professor said.
Kahan wrote that not only did the findings surprise him, they embarrassed him. (more…)

Davion Navar Henry Only entered St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in his only suit, a Bible in his hands, and offered his heart to the congregation. He is 15 years old, and has been in foster care his entire life, born while his mother was in jail. He harbored secret dreams that his birth mother would someday come to claim him, but recently discovered her death in an online search. He decided it was time to let go of his anger, get his behavior under control and improve his grades in a quest to find a home, and someone to love him.
Having heard that God helps those who help themselves, he decided on a course of action. With the help of his caseworker, he walked into a church in St. Petersburg, Florida in September and told the congregation “I’ll take anyone, old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don’t care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be.”Continue reading.
Please take time from your day to say a prayer for Davion, the purpose for this post. I hope and pray that his courageous action, his efforts to improve his life, and his prayers for love will result in someone who is God’s choice to guide this young man, and give him the love he deserves. Should anyone want more information, the person to contact is Connie Going 727-456-0600. She is with Eckerd Alternative which is the organization sponsoring Davion. Her email is [email protected]

Lets see,….. predictions:
#1)  The media will look to the stock market today while seeking desperately to make all their prior proclamations of national doom and gloom reconcile.
If the market rises .001% it will be because they were right and the financial world is now back on solid footing saved from the Republican terrorists.   If the market drops .001% it will be because they were right and fear has settled amid the global electorate wondering if we can ever recover from the now visible threats of the dreaded Republican terrorists.

#2)  The media will proclaim outright VICTORY for President Stompy Feet just as assuredly as a consistent diet of ice-cream is the favored breakfast, lunch and dinner for a 4 year old.    The end result being essentially the same, both approaches at acquiescence lead to a no longer crying spoiled brat with a fiscally short life span.   (more…)

ps.  fear not Pandacam is back – crisis averted

RT @reidpillifant: Pete King calls for a Republican war on Ted Cruz http://t.co/ONBx8oUGbj

— Pete King (@RepPeteKing) October 16, 2013

New York […] To King, the fault doesn’t lie broadly with Congress, but falls squarely on Cruz and his 30 or 40 “acolytes,” who put pressure on other Republicans.
“I think it’s important for people in the Republican Party around the country not to just come in at the end and say, ‘Congress was dysfunctional,’ or ‘Congress screwed up.’ That’s too easy to do,” King said. “Say who it was. Because it wasn’t Congress. It was one person who was able to steamroll Congress and unless we target him for what he is, he’s going to do it again. So I’m hoping other Republicans will join me and start going after this guy, and say we’re not going to let it happen again.” (more…)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

“He will not be mocked, he will not be mocked (under breath “don’t touch me”)…. NO, He will not be mocked.  The greatest deception here is this is NOT one nation under God, it never was;  had it been, it would not have been.  No.  (shouting) “It would not have been”.  The Constitution would not have been written by Free Masons, they go against God.

UPDATE:  Be sure to read Andrea Shea King’s explanation in the comments section.

WASHINGTON DC – A proposal to end the government shutdown and avoid default orchestrated by Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Leader Harry Reid includes a nearly $3 billion earmark for a Kentucky project.
Language in a draft of the McConnell-Reid deal (see page 13, section 123) provided to WFPL News shows a provision that increases funding for the massive Olmsted Dam Lock in Paducah, Ky., from $775 million to nearly $2.9 billion.
The dam is considered an important project for the state and region in regards to water traffic along the Ohio River.
As The Courier-Journal’s James Bruggers reported in 2011, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said they needed about $2.1 billion for the locks due to “stop and go funding.” (read more)
