And furthermore, Church on the Rock is a church with many faith styles represented. We are a non-denominational church but love our worship (and have some wonderful musicians to back up the 45 to 55 minutes we usually spend in worship time). We also love our hometown girl, Sarah, and are very proud of her. We are just elated with the news she was picked as VP candidate. She's the real deal -- as genuine as they come! I'm so thrilled the rest of America gets to meet her and see those same qualities.

Probably the most telling statement you made.

1. The presence of a “Media Matters” widget on your blog and

2. The fact that you think allowing free speech in churches the way it was before Lyndon B. Johnson sneaked in an undebated rider on a tax bill to END it is “kooky” and

You’re a classy gal that’s fo sho.

And about as annoying as D.R. used to be…
