The Senate couldn’t decide what to do about gas prices and climate change…so they went home to blow stuff up.   Both parties have gone home for the 4th of July holiday, leaving tax breaks and renewable energy production documents in the chamber.   Really dispelling that “do-nothing” Congress nickname, guys.  Not saying that Congress did nothing this year.  There was that stimulus package and of course the Iraq funding.

Arshbishop Raymond Burke heads up the Vatican Supreme Court now. As of yesterday, he is the first American to hold the position.  The Archbishop from St. Louis is the one who denied communion to John Kerry because Kerry supported the right to abort.   What about the right to say, “No father, I don’t want you to assume that position.”

It’s hard enough to walk a few miles in sneakers.  But Neil Sauter crossed the state of Michigan…in stilts.  Two months and six stilts later, Sauter had travelled 830 miles.  And raised more than 64-thousand dollars for cerebral Palsy.  What a noble carnie.
