Topical News

Its funny to read about Hoaxes.

I often read news on the internet. I browse Google News a lot, as well as some of the more traditional news sites. I was recently thinking that it would probably be more interesting to read news according to a story or related stories. That is, wait until things have played out a little and read about them in depth, then maybe if they're interesting I can write about them here. Google's news search engine could be helpful for this.

Two things I'd like to read more and write more about are the recent events in the Episcopal church where we might ordain an openly homosexual bishop, and relate that to the George Bush's comments against gay marriage (who does he think he is, The Pope?) as well as the Roman Catholic Church's statements of last week on the issue of gay marriage. Were these statements timed to coincide with the Episcopal Church's decision which might come today or early next week? Tune in here to find out.

I've also been thinking about abuses of our election systems by our elected officials. I don't know a lot about the issues yet, but I'll try to read about them more. Items that are making me curious:
  • Congretional Resitricting
  • The recall of the governor of California; Is it too easy to recall a governor? Were the laws created with a different expectation of the size of the state?
  • E-Voting: voting machines should be Open Source and widely tested and approved before deployment.
  • George Bush's election relating to the technology and the electoral college. peace.
