all-encompassingly

we at all-encompassingly.com express our heartfelt condolences to all those who have been affected by monday’s senseless tragedy.
i came across this photo and caption yesterday, and i thought it was remarkable:

“Nikki Giovanni, renown poet and Virginia Tech English professor, raises her arms in cheer after offering remarks Tuesday, April 17, 2007, […]

I think this quote from Rudy Giuliani, talking about issues like abortion, sums it up:
“Our party has to get beyond issues like that,” Giuliani said. 
No way this guy ever becomes the GOP nominee. And if, because of some strange cosmic disturbance in the force, he does get the nomination, there is no way he […]

 
of imus’ “nappy-headed hos” remark, democratic candidate barack hussein obama had this to say this week:

[imus] didn’t just cross the line. [imus] fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America. The notions that as young African-American women….that that somehow makes them less […]

Or something like that…
“There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society,” CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision.

Kirchner defendió la inversión pública y atacó a la prensa.

Obama is all upset at what Imus said.
“I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus,” Obama told ABC News, “but I would also say that there’s nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC […]

Insightful and witty.
The reason people don’t like what Imus said was because the women on the Rutgers basketball team aren’t engaged in public discourse. They’re not public figures, they don’t have a forum, they aren’t trying to influence public policy.
They play basketball — quite well, apparently — and did nothing to bring on an attack […]

All those who have embarked on the Don Imus must be fired moral crusade should take time to read Michelle Malkin’s column. Warning, there is offensive language.
She compares what Imus said (which she despises) with the lyrical content of the top six songs on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks Chart. Very instructive.

let me add: i don’t really care for don imus. his radio show airs during my drive to school, but i rarely listen. i just don’t find his show that interesting. now that i think about it, i find his voice to be kind of soothing, but […]

I’ve been listening to the Dennis Miller radio show a bit now. You can listen live at his site and download the show from his web site.
On Friday Dennis got a call from a dude pitching his conspiracy web site. Listen as Dennis deals with the call.

Al Sharpton is a bigot and a race hustler. So, why on earth did Don Imus go on his radio show?
The whole episode makes me want to vomit.
Update: I should note that I don’t like anything Imus said and never listen to his show. I just find the theater of him kissing Sharpton’s […]

that headline is a direct quote from the WSJ. edwards would gladly engage terrorists, but refuses to engage the cable news leader in america, because of its politics:
I think that what America should be doing on the issue of Iraq is dealing directly with both the Syrians and the Iranians, and I […]

With all the serious things happening in this country and around the world, CNN is leading off tonight on their web site with this story:

Sorry, but I don’t feel so bad for these folks. I follow the Dennis Miller line of reasoning on this.

A great essay about religion and science by the director of the Human Genome Project.
As a believer, I see DNA, the information molecule of all living things, as God’s language, and the elegance and complexity of our own bodies and the rest of nature as a reflection of God’s plan.
I did not always embrace these […]
