Kansas Preacher Pushes Obama Muslim Message WICHITA, KAN. — A Wichita, Kansas preacher says he will not remove a message on his church sign that says President-Elect Barack Obama is a Muslim. The sign is staying up despite the fact that Obama is a Christian. The sign at Spirit One Christian Center reads, “America we have a Muslim president. This is sin against the Lord.” Obama supporters reportedly got into a shouting match with parishioners outside the church on Sunday. - ♣genieyclo♣

"Coach Jim Harbaugh reaffirmed his commitment to Stanford on Monday, saying he's close to a contract extension with the school and doesn't anticipate talking to an NFL team after the season. But is Toby Gerhart in the Cardinal's future? The star running back hasn't ruled out the possibility that he might leave after this season — though he has two years of eligibility remaining — if he were chosen high in the baseball draft in June." - Bret Taylor via Bookmarklet

Don't know if Jesus would own a gun, but he certainly would stand up against a government that tries to tell people what they can and cannot do in their own homes--when it doesn't harm anyone else. - Competitive Enterprise In

"While Obama won a lopsided number of electoral votes, his popular-vote margin was increased by an outpouring of minority balloting as the number of whites who cast ballots declined overall. The analysis estimated that about 5.8 million more minorities voted in this year's presidential election than in 2004 while nearly 1.2 million fewer whites went to the polls. Separate opinion polls and election results themselves indicate that an overwhelming majority of African-Americans and Latinos backed Obama. The surge in minority voting was even more pronounced in some election swing states, including Ohio, the liberal-leaning nonprofit group Project Vote reported." - MikeAmundsen via Bookmarklet

Chocolates are something we buy often when we do our shopping. But what if the chocolate is too expensive to be affordable?Chocolates are one of the many heavenly tastes to our tongues. We buy loads of them and store them in the refrigerator to be eaten at will. But sometimes, buying chocolates can get a little expensive: - Mahdi Ebrahimi via Bookmarklet

One of my favorite things to do with a chef’s knife is to chop fresh herbs. To me, it’s very relaxing and satisfying to attack a huge pile of leafy parsley and end up with a much smaller pile of finely chopped herbs. And what better way to get a feel for this knife than some nice, soothing, rhythmic chopping. - Mahdi Ebrahimi via Bookmarklet

"McALLEN, Texas — A South Texas grand jury has indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers. The indictment criticizes Cheney's investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers. It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainees by working through the prison companies." - Steven Perez via Bookmarklet

That would make my year. :) - Steven Perez

Wow, that's quite a stack of allegations there! that's huge! - Susan Beebe

Nooooo!! watch out for the old VP dude, he shoots people (by accident, of course) - Susan Beebe

Cheney's going to show him how to shoot someone in the face, PROPERLY.... :) - ♣genieyclo♣

Great tips Matt, I just asked google what the square root of 1000 was and it told me in less than a second with NO typing, now we need voice for Gmail and Google Talk! Awesome app - Kelly Johns

Yes, and it works great for conversions, I asked it how many ounces in a pound and it gave it to me fast, the accuracy is amazing -- not to mention how good the local search is with easy to click telephone numbers and everything. A "restaurant" search comes up with some great local info. - Kelly Johns

Hey Matt, the app is not remembering or asking for location like it did in the beginning -- where is the best place to post bugs/enhancements? - Kelly Johns

"ABC News' Teddy Davis and Arnab Datta Report: ABC News has learned that Delaware's newly elected Democratic governor is planning to take the oath of office at 12:01 a.m. ET on Jan. 20, 2009, making it possible for him to name Vice President-elect Joe Biden's replacement to the United States Senate. Whether Governor-elect Jack Markell (D) gets to name Biden's Senate replacement will ultimately turn on whether the Vice President-elect makes good on his stated intention to wait until the moment he becomes Vice President to resign from the U.S. Senate. Delaware law provides that when a U.S. senator resigns before the end of his term, the state's governor appoints a replacement who remains in office until the next election which, in this case, is 2010." - Kathleen Anderson via Bookmarklet

A few days ago a neighbor knocked on our door saying that he was terrorizing their cat, invading their home, and peeing on their floor. He's become ultra-aggressive lately, basically vicious to other cats. We've been trying to transition him to indoors-only, but he won't have it: Pooping everywhere, attacking Stormy, being mean to the kids, tearing at the blinds, scratching up the doors. After talking with vets and neighbors, we felt the only choice was to bring him to a shelter. I'm very unhappy about it. - Stephen Mack

So sorry. :-( - Rachel Garb

:( I'm really sorry Stephen. - Rachel Lea Fox

I love it when Repubs speak the truth. > ""We are educated by the great entertainers like Rush Limbaugh," Hagel said Tuesday during a speech in Washington, according to the Huffington Post. "You know, I wish Rush Limbaugh and others like that would run for office," a sarcastic Hagel continued. "They have so much to contribute and so much leadership and they have an answer for everything. And they would be elected overwhelmingly. [The truth is] they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody but they don't have any answers."" - Russellreno via Bookmarklet

I think that's why they don't run for office, actually. And frankly, I'm happy they don't. Entertainers entertain. Limbaugh is just that. Don't find him entertaining? Turn him off. Even talking about him negatively gives him too much advertising. Just my ¥2, of course. - thepete

"United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger will tell a Senate panel today that Detroit's Big Three automakers face liquidation if forced into bankruptcy and warned that taxpayers would have to pay at least $3 billion a year if the companies stopped paying for retiree health care. He also rejected new concessions by the union on wages or retiree benefits as some in Congress have demanded." - Leather Donut

"President-elect Obama has decided to tap Eric Holder as his attorney general, putting the veteran Washington lawyer in place to become the first African-American to head the Justice Department, according to two legal sources close to the presidential transition." - Russellreno via Bookmarklet
