Chris Mathews was Tip O'neils aid. Lawrence O'donnel was a writer for the west wing and was someone elses aid, I think.

You've wondered before, yes?, about the Christian thing? There is actually quite a divide between those who consider God to be God... ya know.. God... and Jesus to be the son. And those who forget about God.. ya know... GOD... and think of Jesus as God. It's actually rather an issue. I in my reading find that Jesus made it quite clear he was the son, and not even 'divine'... but for some reason there are a bunch of Christians who want him not only divine but God himself. presumptuous lil bastards. ooops. I take that back????? smile

"Believe in Jesus." At first I thought that these folks did not believe in God but believed in Jesus." But that is exactly what they are saying; not "Believe in God", or "Believe in God and Jesus". Do they believe in God?

New guy in town? What happened to Tauscher? FCJ Interview with CA-10 Candidate Anthony Woods By Luke Thomas August 18, 2009 Though he fully expects to win the special election race to replace Rep. Ellen Tauscher in the 10th Congressional District, decorated Iraq war veteran Anthony Woods has a bright future ahead in public service should he lose. Openly gay, Woods was discharged from the US military in December 2008 after he challenged the Pentagon’s ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy, an ignominious slap in the face for a man who put his life on the line in service of his country. Always the reserved diplomat, Wood’s called the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy “wrong-headed” and “misguided.” If he wins the special election, Woods would become the first black gay man to be elected to Congress, and the first openly gay member of Congress to have served in the US military. Born at Travis Air Force Base and raised by his single mother in Fairfield and Vacaville, Woods, 29, developed a keen sense of discipline and public service at an early age. Following his graduation with honors from Vanden High School, Woods attended West Point Military Academy graduating with the standard rank of Lieutenant before being posted to Iraq in 2004 where he led a platoon of 81 soldiers under his command. He proudly tells Fog City Journal all of the soldiers under his command returned home safely following several combat missions and roadside bomb attacks. He was awarded the Bronze Star for his service. Following his two tours in Iraq, Woods attended Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in 2006 where he received his master’s degree in public policy. He majored in economics and political science with a minor in computer science. Shortly after graduating, Woods revealed to his military superiors he is homosexual which led to his discharge. Following his discharge, Woods retrained his focus on seeking public office where he hopes to have an impact on a number of important issues facing the nation. “It’s time to send leaders to Washington with the courage to stand up and fight for their convictions,” Woods said. Fog City Journal conducted a recent telephone interview with Woods to discuss his convictions, his candidacy and his campaign platform. The following is representative of his politic beliefs and the issues that are important to CA-10. fogcityjournal.com
