Isn't this eerily similar to the roundabout redistribution of responsibility that we saw in the financial meltdown of late 2008? Bob Herbert may have had it right in his strident New York Times editorial: "If a bank is too big to fail, it’s way too big to exist. If an oil well is too far beneath the sea to be plugged when something goes wrong, it’s too deep to be drilled in the first place."

In other news, Nancy Pelosi has made yet another rather confusing statement (which, of course, has flown under the radar of the mainstream media). Speaking to an audience of Catholic sisters, she said, in reference to the Bible: "The Word. Isn't it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word.... fill it in with anything you want. But, of course, we know it means: 'The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.' And that's the great mystery of our faith. He will come again. He will come again. So, we have to make sure we're prepared to answer in this life, or otherwise, as to how we have measured up." Pelosi went on to say that she attempts to make public policy in accordance with this.
Hold on a minute. First off, you don't -- you can't -- just "fill in" the Bible - or anything else, but especially not the most important publication in history - with "anything you want." Second, such a relativist translation really signals a lack of biblical knowledge. Finally, how can you profess to believe in the Bible when you are one of the most pro-abortion representatives currently on the floor?
The New York Daily News isn't exactly a religious publication (like Christianity Today), but I think they've hit the nail on the head on this issue; take a minute and read this article.
