…But the ad on the TV says that it is about the price of a dozen roses and shows the price as $80.
I don’t know where the Vermont Teddy Bear guys shop, but I’ve never in my life paid more than $30 for a dozen Roses and my wife is does get flowers on a semi-regular basis (not as much the last few months)
I posed a suggestion for Christians in general and Catholics in particular on how to cope with the problems this bad economy is hitting you with.
If you are an atheist and can’t bring yourself to try it here is another depression fighter; Amazon has a sale on chocolate and candy this month.
It’s a sweet alternative for the unbeliever, then again its not a bad deal for us believers either.
I got a very nice comment from Darren Hutchinson thanking me for my links. Let me say louder what I said in the reply comment. The tag Honorable left is made for a guy like him who doesn’t check his principles at the door when his side is in power.
Dissenting Justice is being added to the blogroll and I would recommend keeping an eye over there. I’m sure we will disagree a lot over the next few years but that’s how you learn and form an honest opinion on things.
It looks like This is not going to go away. Darren Hutchinson is hot and angry and shows no signs of backing down:
But this forms the basis of the charge of hypocrisy. Human rights groups detailed in numerous policy statements the specific aspects of Bush’s program with which they disagreed. These practices certainly included rendition to torture and indefinite detention, but they also involved the lack of judicial oversight and denial of access to counsel. If liberals now believe that some activists overreached by criticizing the lack of judicial oversight or legal representation in their arguments condemning Bush, then they should express this point. It is absolutely disingenuous to argue instead that human rights groups only disagreed with rendition to torture and indefinite detention, when the organizations’ own words demonstrate that they made a fuller set of arguments.
Furthermore, describing Bush’s plan as “extraordinary” does very little to defend “rendition” in the Obama administration. Labels do not give rise to human rights violations. Specific practices do.
This back and forth is going to be interesting to re-visit at the end of the Obama Presidency.
