Hope he becomes saved before he dies, which may or may not be soon now from the way things look and sound regarding him and his condition.

Still, you may have stumbled upon a creepy metaphor:

"beat him with the rod"
could be interpreted in various ways. verse doesn't specify what type of "rod" (e.g., steel, PVC, etc.), nor does it limit the blunt trauma to a location on the body, nor is the amount of force limited, nor are the number of strikes limited.
seems to give broad license to bible-reading parents to "beat" their children.
perhaps a federal law needs to be established to protect children from their conservative evangelical parents.

I know this because I was paddled by my industrial arts teacher for misconduct back in 1975. My parents were notified and the Vice principal was present with me and the teacher while I was being paddled to insure against excess.

If the "education lottery" is any indication, gambling money doesn't live up to its promise of easy revenues. My state launched an "education lottery" with great fanfare, as the permanent answer to education funding problems. With the gambling money flowing in, taxes would be lower and schools would be better. Yet every year (especially in August), there's a drumbeat of news about how education funding is being cut and how there's not enough money to run the school systems. What happened to all that gambling revenue? Where is all the gambling money going?

Much as I like both Bachman and Palin I wish that they were men if for no other reason that it might keep many future women from being distracted by carreer goals and away from their primary duties of managing the home and raising the kids.

Only one of my 2 sisters ever got around to having a kid; and were it not for IVF, she wouldn't have been able to have that one because she waited several years after she finished school and established her career (in medicine) before settling down.

That's all I needed to hear before realizing that reading the rest of this article would just be a waste of my time.

And they're going to switch to the ... ? Still listening to the crickets chirping waiting for the answer. The euro isn't any better off than the dollar, and I don't know what else is available. As long as China needs dollars in its foreign reserve to manipulate its own currency on world markets, it will hardly dump its dollars and other holdings. And I'm not sure what this "new, stable and secured global reserve currency" is going to be, some sort of UN sponsored currency? The multinational euro-zone is having all sorts of problems trying to keep the EU together and its currency stable, so imagine that worldwide as nations that don't always get along like Russia, China, and Venezuela try to manage a global currency and keep it stable. I think I'd rather put my money in bitcoins than the new world currency.

since Iraq is so free now, I imagine it is a great tourist destination.

My instincts, based on everything I've heard, is that we started out fighting the Taliban/Al Queda because of 911; but now we're fighting (through surrogates) Iran. Similar thing happened in Korea, where we initially went in to kick the North Koreans out of South Korea, but then ended up fighting China, through their North Korean surrogates as well as directly with PRC forces themselves.

The party of "NO" can't get their acts together. They remind me of my two year (the terrible twos).discovering the word "no" and saying it every time they get a chance. Can somebody please remind them their foolishness is destroying the lives of real people. It's not a game Boehner! Fall in line with the adults and stop playing politics.

The Bible today contains everything we need to know about God, man, and salvation. Otherwise it would have more or fewer pages than it has today.

What has Obama lost? Do he and his people fear the loss of his re-election and their political power that much?
