CCU's Commencement Ceremony Recognizes over 700 New Alumni

  • James Nicholson, keynote speaker at CCU's 2012 Commencement Ceremony
On Saturday, May 12, over 3,000 guests celebrated with Colorado Christian University's class of 2012 at the annual commencement ceremony. Over 700 graduates comprise the class, from both the College of Adult and Graduate Studies and the College of Undergraduate Studies. The ceremony, held at Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, featured former Ambassador and Secretary of Veterans Affairs R. James Nicholson as speaker.

Nicholson exhorted students and guests alike: "When the going gets tough -- and it will get tough -- pray." His own reliance on God was evident, as he recounted living on a tenant farm in Iowa as a child, to eventually becoming ambassador to the Vatican. Nicholson encouraged graduates to defend religious liberties and human rights, two causes he has worked to protect. The former ambassador received an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree for his lifetime of work. He was joined by fellow recipient Dr. Kent Hutcheson, honored for his work with inner-city youth.

The day, however, belonged to the graduates. Upon the conferring of their degrees, the collective cheer was overwhelming and a smattering of hats flew in the air. Christi Kirchner, Director of Alumni Relations -- and herself an MBA graduate -- welcomed the graduates into the Alumni Association: "You now join a family of more than 15,000 strong believers who are following God's calling for their lives," she said. "You have the opportunity and responsibility to apply what you have learned in your work, family, and churches. Remember that you leave here today as a representative for God, for Colorado Christian University, for your classmates, and for those who have encouraged and challenged you along the way."

Album Notes
Zimena is a true born talented artist gifted with a unique soft and raspy voice. She’d often say God has given her a gift of beauty to be expressed in multiple ways and that singing crowns it all. Indeed, while her creative expressions as a writer, painter, fashion designer and entrepreneur eclectically tell their own stories, with music, she comes truly into her own.
Born 20th of March 1974 to a music loving family, Zimena credits her love of music to being surrounded by and listening to a wide variety of music like Rock, Pop, R&B, Reggae, Urban traditional, Hip hop, Country, Soul, Dance, Gospel and Jazz from birth and learnt most of life’s lessons through music. This is why her music always carries a message and tells life stories that people of all walks of life can easily relate to. When asked how she feels about music, she says “Music answers all my questions, fills most of my needs and qualifies all my memories".
Zimena has been writing music and singing all her life. She has a B.Sc. in Economics and a Masters in Business Administration/Management and was a successful Consultant in Human Resources, Design and Business before finally succumbing fully to the call of music professionally in March 2011. Not one for half-measures, she is giving this her full attention. When asked how she manages to fit her 3 great passions, music, art and writing into her life she simply says, I paint life’s pictures with brush, words and sound.”
Zimena is a beautiful soul, in and out and a strong, down to earth, honest, funny, unconventional, family-oriented woman who takes her role as a daughter, sister, friend, aunt, wife and mother individually seriously. She loves reading, writing, watching movies, cooking, travelling, nature walks and enjoys the outdoors.

Election statement:

Thank you for this opportunity to share my aspiration to represent you impartially. I must commend you, the police, statutory agencies and community safety partnerships etc for your commitment and perseverance to date.

This non-partisan position of Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) symbolises a new era of ‘policing by consent’ with accountability to the people. Without proper checks and balances our policing could leave a legacy of resentment and frustration. We experienced it last year, lost lives and properties.

As an independent candidate, I am not affiliated to any political party, completely independent of Thames Valley Police and not a former bureaucrat from the Police Authority. If elected, I will be a viable link between you and the police, commit to all PCC responsibilities without being hindered by political party policies or influence. Party politics should be kept out of policing to maintain the integrity of the police service and truly empower local people.

I have relevant, transferable skills having worked, as a front office cashier, teacher, insurance marketing executive, banker, software tester, Capacity Planner, Project Manager. I have Masters in IT and PRINCE2 qualifications.

I am passionate about people, volunteering and serving the community. I have served as Reading Voluntary Action Trustee, a charity that supports Reading’s voluntary and community sector also provides advisory services and training. I am a member of the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust. I am also interested in criminal justice issues. I just joined the Reading Criminal Justice Association and the Women’s Institute.

In addition to the above-mentioned, my aptitude for learning and quick adaptability, my desire to succeed, I would also bring analytical skills and patience necessary to get the job done.

Thank you in anticipation of your vote.

Thinking of Changing Careers? Think CIA.

Working at the CIA can be a very exciting and rewarding career. Our employees are part of a great mission that’s larger than all of us.

The CIA is the premier agency responsible for providing global intelligence on the ever-changing political, social, economic, technological, and military environment. And the jobs available at CIA are as diverse as the people who work here.

We’re always looking for enthusiastic people with unquestioned integrity, strong interpersonal skills, excellent written and oral communication ability, and the desire to be a part of a mission that helps protect and secure our family, friends, and country.

It's been said that the most important thing CIA analysts know — even with all of their top secret information — is that their work has a profound impact. The analysts who work in the Directorate of Intelligence (DI) are some of the brightest people in the country, but what truly makes their contributions outstanding is the integrity and objectivity they bring to it. Members of the DI help provide timely, accurate, and objective all-source intelligence analysis on the full range of national security and foreign policy issues to the President, Cabinet, and senior policymakers in the US government.

They do this not to gain public accolades or recognition, but because the country and the President need experts who will tell it like it is. From the Cold War to the war on terrorism, the energy and commitment of the DI officer has been critical to our nation's security.

Clandestine Service Officers

The CIA's National Clandestine Service (NCS) is the front-line source of clandestine information on critical international developments, from terrorism and weapons of mass destruction to military and political issues. The mission often requires clandestine service officers to live and work overseas, making a true commitment to the Agency. This is more than just a job – it's a way of life that challenges the deepest resources of personal intelligence, self-reliance, and responsibility.

NCS officers are individuals with varied backgrounds and life experiences, professional and educational histories, language capabilities, and other elements that allow us meet our mission critical objectives.

Scientists & Engineers

The CIA is defining the leading edge of science, engineering, and technology. Now, more than ever, it is essential for us to stay ahead of fast-paced global technology developments in order to fulfill the Agency's foreign intelligence mission. The men and women in the Directorate of Science & Technology (DS&T) are in the unique position of leading an industry populated primarily with public-sector companies.

Maintaining our leadership across a broad range of scientific and technical disciplines requires us not only to apply existing science and technology, but to develop and implement breakthrough technologies that may never see the commercial marketplace.

Support Service Professionals

The CIA employs a wide variety of highly talented professionals to meet its mission. As a global organization, we need employees with skills in everything from finance to logistics, linguistics to architecture, and law to cartography. In fact, there are more than 50 different career disciplines in the Support Services function that contribute to the success of every part of the Agency.

Our dedicated professionals – who serve at home and abroad – play a vital role in the national security of our country every day.

Find a Rewarding Career

When you bring your unique talents to the CIA, you will find a rewarding career while helping us meet our vital mission.

City of Madison Logo
City of Madison Finance | Photo Credit: Archie Nicolette

Effective April 13, 1999, Section 4.20 of the Madison General Ordinances requires that persons directly employed by the City or employed in work performed as part of a service contract or funded by City financial assistance be paid no less than a specified minimum hourly wage.

Q. What is the living wage standard?
A. In 1999, the wage was $7.91 per hour. Effective January 1, 2000, the wage was equal to 105% of the federal poverty level for a family of four, divided by 2080. This translated to a wage rate of $8.43 per hour in the year 2000. In 2001 and thereafter, the wage is equal to 110% of the poverty level. Subsequent wage rates, effective from January 1 through December 31 of each year are: 2001 - $9.02; 2002 - $9.34; 2003 - $9.57; 2004 - $9.74; 2005 - $9.97; 2006 - $10.23; 2007 - $10.58; 2008 - $10.92; 2009 - $11.21; 2010 - $11.66; 2011 - $11.66; 2012 - $11.82; 2013 - $12.19; 2014 - $12.45. For 2015, the rate is $12.62 per hour. Effective January 2016, the Living Wage rate will increase to $12.83 per hour.

Q. Who is covered under provisions of the Living Wage Ordinance?
A. The provisions are applicable to five general classes of covered employees:
a) City employees, including hourly employees;
b) Employees working under a service contract greater than $5,000;
c) Employees working under a contract for City financial assistance (CFA) greater than $100,000;
d) Employees of recipients of City financial assistance (greater than $100,000) who work on the project site funded by CFA;
e) Employees of a contractor with the CFA recipient who work at least 20 hours per week at the project site funded by the CFA.
Q. Are subcontractors subject to the Living Wage Ordinance provisions?
A. Yes.

Q. Are non-profit agencies subject to the Living Wage Ordinance provisions?
A. Yes and no. Non-profit service providers are covered if they provide services under contracts with the City in amounts greater than $5,000. However, non-profit agencies are exempted from the "City financial assistance" requirements.

Q. Are employees of contractors working under previously signed City contracts affected?
A. Generally, no. The Ordinance applies only to contracts entered into after April 13, 1999.

Q. Are all service contracts over $5,000 covered?
A. No. The Living Wage Ordinance exempts professional service contracts, public works contracts and contracts with other units of government.

Q. Are all employees working under eligible service contracts covered under the Living Wage Ordinance?
A. No. The Ordinance exempts certain, specified classes of employees, including student learners, on-call employees, employees under the age of 18, employees of sheltered workshops, City Special Workers and workers covered under public works contracts.

Q. Are contracts for purchases of goods covered by the Living Wage Ordinance?
A. No.

Q. How can I be certain that a contract or employees are or are not exempted from the Ordinance?
A. In some cases, it may not be clear. You may need to contact the City Attorney or Finance Department for an opinion.

Q. Suppose a City agency has two $3,500 contracts with a service provider. Given that the total of $7,000 exceeds the $5,000 Living Wage threshold, is the contractor subject to the Living Wage Ordinance?
A. No. The Ordinance requirements apply to each contract. Since each is less than the $5,000 standard, the contracts are exempt from Living Wage requirements.

Q. Who is responsible for monitoring and contract compliance?
A. All eligible service contractors and City financial assistance recipients are required to post the required minimum City hourly wage and the phone number of the City's Affirmative Action Department. Complaints shall be directed to the contracting City agency.

Q. What are the consequences for contractors that do not comply with the Living Wage Ordinance requirements?
A. The City might withhold payments and/or terminate the contract. Violators may also be subject to a fine of up to $200 per day.

Living Wage Scenarios

Contract/Employee Amount Covered? Explanation
City election officials Varies No City election officials are considered service contractors, not City employees. Since they earn less than $5,000, they're not covered.

Landscaping (includes greenery, planting and maintenance) $20,000 Maybe Depends on Scope of Services. If contract is predominantly for service-related functions, then it will likely be covered under the LW Ord. Consult City Attorney for an opinion.

Radio Ads $5,500 Yes. Advertising is considered a service.

Service contract with small, "Mom and Pop" business $5,001 Yes. No exemption is made for small businesses.

Service contract with Donald Trump $4,999 No. Falls below $5,000 qualifying threshold.

Canaries chief issues transfer hint

Norwich, Latest news update:

Chris Hughton has hinted he will look to bring another striker to Norwich this summer after bemoaning their poor finishing at Wigan.

The Canaries' boss was left frustrated following the 1-0 defeat at the DW Stadium on Saturday which has opened up the battle to avoid relegation as third-bottom Aston Villa are now just four points behind his side who sit in 14th position.
Hughton, who has already agreed a deal to sign Sporting Lisbon's Dutch hitman Ricky van Wolfswinkel in the summer, felt Norwich should not have lost to the Latics. And he appears intent on strengthening his forward line with players who are 'clinical' enough to make a difference in tight matches.
Hughton, whose side have won only once in the last 14 outings, said: "It's about clinical moments, and they had the one in the game that got them the goal.
"I thought we were good in that first-half period - we broke well, and probably away from home, that's as much as we've got into the final third.
"It's two things when you're away from home though - if it's a close game you've got to make sure you keep that clean sheet, or you've got to have that little bit of quality that gets you that goal.
"We didn't have that today - it's something that we were guilty of and something we'll have to look at but it was a never a game that I felt we were going to lose."

Jan. 20: Tom Cronin Scheduled to Appear on ‘Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood’

Jan. 20: Tom Cronin Scheduled to Appear on ‘Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood’

Colorado College Political Science Professor Tom Cronin is scheduled to appear on “CBS News Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood" on Sunday, Jan. 20, the day of President Barack Obama’s second inauguration. Although there always is the possibility of a last-minute change, particularly when dealing with breaking news, as of Saturday Cronin was scheduled to appear in a segment after Reagan, Obama, and Michael J. Fox, according to a senior correspondent for CBS News.

A CBS News team interviewed Cronin and several of his students at Cronin’s home in December for the upcoming segment.

Cronin has authored or co-authored bestselling textbooks on American government and the American presidency, including most recently “Leadership Matters: Unleashing the Power,” in which he notes that the presidency is loaded with paradoxes that make the job arduous: The public wants a strong president but is suspicious of power; it yearns for a leader who is heroic yet has the common touch; and it demands bold visions but at low social and economic costs.

Cronin is the McHugh Professor of American Institutions and Leadership at Colorado College. He has served as president of the Presidency Research Group, president of the Western Political Science Association and on the Executive Council of the American Political Science Association. Additionally, he is president emeritus of Whitman College (1993-2005) and a past acting president at Colorado College (1991). He has won several awards for teaching, advising and for his research, including the American Political Science Association’s Charles E. Merriam Award for significant contributions to the art of government.

Flotsam and Jetsam

If you thought Sen. Barbara Boxer hit rock-bottom in castigating a general for calling her “Ma’am,” watch this. It perfectly exemplifies the liberal mindset in  which everyone is simply a member of a racial group whose views are best rebutted from others from that racial group. What is so stunning about the video is Boxer’s lack of recognition that she is being racist.

Max Baucus comes crawling back to apologize to the White House for saying the president is being “difficult” on health care.

Sen. Ben Nelson doesn’t want to be rushed on health-care reform. And Baucus agrees: “Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) acknowledged Thursday that though he appreciates President Barack Obama’s request that the Senate approve health care reform legislation before the August recess, he has no intention of rushing bipartisan negotiations in his committee that he said are bearing fruit.”

Maybe they should slow down and think this through. Cesar Conda: “I’m not aware of any economic theory that says raising taxes during a recession would strengthen the economy. Nevertheless, the proposed bill would impose a surtax between 1%-5.4% on adjusted gross incomes, which impacts taxpayers earning as little as $280,000 per annum, while raising the maximum income tax rate on the so-called ‘wealthy’ to 45% by 2011. The plan would raise the top capital gains and dividends tax, thereby discouraging capital formation which is the key to restoring long-term economic growth. By 2011, maximum capital gains and dividend tax would rise from the current 15 percent to 26.5 percent and 46 percent, respectively. Most disturbingly, the Democrats health care plan would raise taxes for small businesses, which create the majority of the net new jobs in our economy.”

More trouble in paradise: “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) slammed the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Thursday for running ads designed to pressure centrist Democrats into supporting the president’s healthcare plan, calling the effort a ‘waste of money.’ Reid’s comments sent his staff into damage control mode, as they sought to clarify his remarks, but also reflect a growing frustration among those centrists who have been reluctant to back a government-run health insurance plan at the center of President Obama’s health care proposal.”

That “get a quick win” strategy on cap-and-trade by Nancy Pelosi seems to have misfired — badly. “Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is paying a price on healthcare reform for the arm-twisting she did on the climate change bill last month. Democratic House members were rankled by how the climate bill passed — and stunned by the criticism they got at home. Those memories are fueling a revolt among conservative Blue Dogs and a drive among freshman lawmakers to drop plans for a surtax on the wealthy in healthcare reform. An aide to one conservative Democratic lawmaker said the climate bill was ‘really rammed down our throats.'”

Joe Biden comes to Virginia and acts, well, like Joe Biden: “‘We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation. Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt? The answer is yes, that’s what I’m telling you.” Got that? And then he hollered at the critics of the non-stimulus plan. And people wonder why the administration is losing voters’ confidence on the economy.

Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va) seemed delighted to have Biden stop in his district: “Where I’m looking is where families of Virginia and America are looking and that’s at the unemployment rate, which is skyrocketing. The reality is that people are losing their jobs. Families are going into economic free-fall.” I imagine the GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell was pleased too.

The CNN reporter who argued with the tea party protestors gets laid off. Maybe MSNBC is more her speed.

The president preaches to the NAACP: “Your destiny is in your hands, and don’t you forget that. That’s what we have to teach all of our children! No excuses! No excuses!” Then we can end racial preferences?

All parent member reviews for Twilight

Parents say

(out of 142 reviews)
age 12+
Review this title!
Parent of a 2 and 4 year old Written byRodriguez2 September 18, 2010

Why not just tell your daughters they must lose their soul to gain happiness?

This movie romances the idea of stalkers and poor female role models. It reduces the prominent female to helpless without her (vampire) companion. This is not a model we should be showing young girls. The fact that the main character simply cannot function without Edward is astonishing, and exemplifies depression as the proper way to gain attention. Parental figures are almost non-existent, as are quality adult role models. The acting was atrocious, at best.
Adult Written by21stcenturycritic October 26, 2010

This is not Love. This is Infatuated Obsession.

Hate it. Yes this movie/book promotes abstinence until marriage but that is all it does. promoting abstinence is not enough to make this a good movie. It is an attractive storyline to adolescent girls not because it has good morals (it only has one) but because every low self-esteemed, angst ridden, hormonal teenager (and older single women) is going to easily relate to Bella (the main character). Not because she's easy to relate to but because she is a shell where the viewers are able to place their lives into it simply because Bella is not a 3-Dimensional character. This is bad story telling. The message is NOT what I would ever let my Teenage daughter be exposed to (without thoroughly analyzing it). Any parent worth their salt should take a closer look at the underlying message: It is OK to become completely and blindly dependent on someone else without regard for logic or mental health. It is OK to put yourself in harms way for someone else. It is OK to abuse your partner It is OK to neglect all other facets of life It is OK to become obsessed with one person to love that person only because of what they look like and not because of who they are. The above all happens in the book/movie between the main characters. And there are more reasons, these are just to name a few. Edward is abusive, controlling and disrespectful to Bella - in spite of his traditional view with marriage. Bella is (although book smart) passive, naive, obsessive, emotionally inept, impulsive, causes self harm, reckless, and cannot make smart decisions. The relationship between Bella and Edward, although passionate, is not Love. It is Infatuated Obsession. Why? Because NOT ONCE is Bella OR Edward attracted to each other by anything other than their looks/biology. Why does Bella love Edward? Because he's beautiful and is alluring. An aspect that all vampires carry in this book that does not serve to make Edward more unique and leaving only his beauty. Meaning? Bella only likes Edward because he is pretty. In the books, Bella repeatedly mentions Edward's looks -eyes, skin, breath. However, she never mentions an attraction to any other of his more ideal traits. Why does Edward love Bella? It's not because she's smart, it's not because she's endearing. It is because she SMELLS good. It is admitted in both the book and movie that he is attracted to her because of the smell of her blood which he equates to his "own personal brand of heroine". This is not love. This is not a message any adolescent child should be exposed to when they are growing up, finding themselves and trying to understand the world they live in. If anything this is a message of what kind of relationship one should not be in. Abusive, Controlling, Co-Dependent, Blind.
Parent of a 17 year old Written byMusicteacher July 6, 2010

OK for older kids; 12 and under, not so much

For those worried about the content of the books or films, be aware, these works were never aimed at those 12 years old and younger--they were originally targeted at high-school students. I noticed several comments from parents uncomfortable with Twilight's discussions of sex, virginity and intimacy. That material is indeed appropriate for mid-to-late teenagers; trust me, whether or not you approve, they are already having those discussions, although maybe not with you! Better to read a book together, or go to a movie, and then discuss the issues afterwards--you can use those times as a teaching moment. My biggest problem with the works isn't sex or violence, it's the false values--the worship of wealth and beauty--that seems to underlie them.
Adult Written byrawrrocker July 5, 2010

Mixed, vaguely chauvinistic messages.

The thing that really disturbs me about children watching this is the unhealthy messages that the relationship between Bella and Edward send. Not only is it obsessive, but it is also mildly misogynistic. After being blown off and ignored by Edward, Bella proceeds to become more attached and interested in him regardless of his rejection. In the relationship, Edward is the one fully in control and Bella is subservient to his desires. It just concerns me what messages about a "normal" relationship this is sending to young girls.

Not so good.....

I didn't see this until I had nothing else to watch, so I gave in. Thinking it may have been worth it from people's reviews, it was just awful! A total snooze fest. Acting was super bad and the storyline was VERY boring! Kristen Stewart was not suited to play Bella at all, she's too frigidy & emotionless. It's just way too overrated. I think the younger crowd likes it only because of the "hot" actors which are hyped up by the media and the idea of vampires. Not appropriate for under 13 I'd all the wrong messages to the youngsters. 2 thumbs down!
Parent of a 3 and 8 year old Written bytandst4 January 31, 2010

Decent movie but no role models for my girls

I have two girls. I would hate for either of them to model after Bella's weak & easily influenced character. The book and movie show her to be extremely vulnerable, even though she's supposed to be book smart. She makes decisions on emotion purely and without much logic at all. Not a role model for my kids.
Parent of a 13 year old Written bytwzzlrgirl November 10, 2009

Perhaps a poor message for teenage girls....

I admit to loving this book, although I thought the movie was uneven and poorly acted. HOWEVER, in many ways I think the messages in this movie are not for girls entering their teen years. The entire plot is based on Bella's increasingly obsessive need to be with Edward, despite the dangers to herself or her family. And, frankly, subsequent books and movies only get worse. Only recommended for girls who can enjoy the entertainment value but have a good (and strong) head on their shoulders.

I have seen this movie at least 40 times!

This is my fav movie, besides maybe Remember Me. As for my kids, they have all seen Twilight, maybe 5 times, even my 3 yr old. They love it, the 6, and 8 yr olds like it the most. They cheer for the good guy and the bad guys and the scene in her bedroom is the only place in the movie that I am a bit uncomfortable with but I didnt make a big deal of it and neither do they.
Parent of a 7 and 10 year old Written byJGLawson65 September 25, 2009

Not the role model movie that people try to make it out to be

I haven't read the books but really want to as I think I would like them better than the movie. I thought Bella was a sulky unhappy teenager who had way too much free time to romp in the woods with a boy. I thought Edward was creepy. The scene in the bedroom when Bella was in her underwear was inappropriate and if I had a teenage daughter I wouldn't want her thinking that was okay. The love is too obsessive and I think that it is way too Romeo and Juliet. I fear that teens today will take it way too seriously and feel it is so them against the world thing and do something stupid. Didn't feel it set a good role model for high school kids. Teens should be focusing more on friends, fun, sports, lightheartedness, and future college plans. Not so much on giving up your life for a love interest. Geez.
Adult Written byJulia from Sweden November 17, 2011

Nah... Not my favourite.

Edward is creepy and stalks the personality-freed Bella (sexual behaviour). To be fair this isn't the movie's fault - the books are the same. However, the acting is so unconvincing and flat that it affects my opinion of this film. The lead actors are the worst ones anywhere. Yes, Bella is supposed to be sour and insecure but with more than one facial expression. Script is not the best it could have been, either. Kids have to understand that Edward is acting strangely, and so is Bella.

Unexpectedly good.

A bit violent but only in a couple of scenes--this movie was better than expected as an adult who had not read any of the books. My 13 year old daughter and her friends enjoyed this movie as well--this one is PG 13 but Marley & Me got a PG--what??? Parents, skip Marley & Me and rent Twilight instead.

The best "B quality" movie I've seen

It's a love story. Plain and simple. Appropriatly done for the tween scene. And if it inspires kids to read the books that's all the better. Heck, I think Edward is hot too!

I wish they never filmed it...

This made the book look bad! The actors were horrible, and totally unfit for the characters! Unlike the book, there was NO humor in it!
Adult Written byvicky92 September 14, 2010

Tell your kids to read the books first!!

I gave it 2 stars for how bad this movie is, film wise, but it's totally ok for any age. The only thing I didn't agree with was Bella making out with Edward in her underwear. BUT only becuase it wasn't in the book haha. But I mean the entire story of Bella and Edward is always about love without sex, so no bad role models here.

Dialogue and acting is always done awkwardly.

I thing Twilight was okay. It had poor acting and dialogue. Concerns would be the violence and some small sexuality. It has a very bloody, intense scene in a ballet studio in which bad vampire James tries to kill Bella. James is shown breaking her leg which makes a sharp crack that might be repulsive for some. Bella is shown being slammed into a wall which blood then spurts as she screams in pain. She also has to pull glass out of leg and hand which is disgusting and bloody. Edward and James fight but no blood. Alice rips off James's head. For sexuality Edward and Bella share a VERY passionate kiss moving together on a bed during which Bella wears very short shorts that may be considered underwear. Edward stops himself after about a minute. There are also several fun scenes in the movie. I would recommend it for 11+ though I'm sure younger have seen it too. People who like the movie may be drawn to the actors. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are NOT good role models. they both smoke and Kristen has been reported smoking pot. Try to avoid them as favorite actors and actresses or role models.

LOVED this!! But anyway, I didn't let my daughter watch it till about 2 weeks ago. There is quite a bit of violence towards the end and there is one scene where the two main characters get alittle frisky when they're alone. There is no grinding or nudity but they make out rather seriously and get very close. It's over very quickly and like I said there's no grinding or nudity but it may offend some young children. Other than some violence and one extremely short make out scene the movie is quite tame. Remember these stories were meant for younger readers and the movies don't stray too much from that.

The 20/20 Experience -- 2 of 2

Second part of JT's comeback is boring, stale, and crude.

What parents need to know

Positive messages

Unless you consider guest rapper Drake's crude line "Always strap up just for safety, then go long" positive encouragement for practicing safe sex, there's really not much in these shallow lyrics that offers a solid message.

Positive role models

Whereas JT used to pull off being a suave master of ceremonies, bad lyrics and raunchy imagery make him a less-than-inspiring figure on this record.

Oddly simplistic songs use violent metaphors including the lyrics in "TKO" and "Murder," the latter of which includes a creepy Jay-Z couplet: "Faces of death, she fine or what / Suicide, I'm tryna cut / white chalk line 'em up / Give new meaning to dying to f--k."

Most of the album is aggressively seductive, often to the point of sounding predatory. JT constantly makes boastful come-ons like, "You know you killin' me softly, but we can go hard as you want to / until the bed's way under the ground." Featured guests Jay-Z and Drake are predictably vulgar, including a reference to how Yoko Ono's "p---y broke up the Beatles."

The usually radio-friendly Timberlake indulges in a bit of profanity, including several uses of the words "s--t" and "f--k." Jay-Z also uses the word "p---y."

References Jack Daniels and Jim Beam on "Drink You Away." Jay-Z mentions "buying Rovers and rings."

Drinking, drugs, & smoking

In addition to several lyrics about drinking, Drake raps, "I break it down like a kilo."

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience -- 2 of 2 is a disappointing exercise in pop-music mediocrity and a prime example of how success and celebrity can spoil an entertainer's charm. JT returns to the seductive dance-floor formula that he has built his career on, but it falls oddly flat and feels contrived. Parents also should be wary of the mature sexual themes, violent imagery, drug and alcohol references, and several instances of explicit language ("f--k," "s--t," "p---y") on the unedited version of the album.

What's the story?

THE 20/20 EXPERIENCE -- 2 of 2 is the second installment of Justin Timberlake's comeback album, his first studio records since 2006's FutureSex/LoveSounds. The album features songs that were left over from the sessions recorded for the first part of The 20/20 Experience as well as some new material. Most of the production and writing is credited to Timberlake and longtime collaborators Timbaland and J-Roc, although several other people were involved with the project including guests Jay-Z and Drake.

Is it any good?

JT die-hards may be able to tolerate this messy and repetitive assortment of pop songs, but anyone else will be instantly turned off by the infantile lyrics, one-note production, and shameless commercial instincts of the once-prodigious singer. It's hard to see why Timberlake thought he needed to release so much material in 2013; he simply doesn't seem to have enough ideas to stretch out over a double album. Every single track is unendurably long, with all but one clocking in at over five minutes. Timberlake may have figured out the secret formula to pop success, but he seems to have lost his touch by relying too heavily on tired metaphors and weak hooks.

Families can talk about...

  • Families can discuss the conventions of Top 40 pop music. What makes a song sell these days?

  • How have artists like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake managed to endure and sustain huge careers in a mainstream market constantly searching for the next new thing?

  • Why do you think Timberlake decided to release two albums in 2013 after more than six years of not releasing an album?

Two Stars?

This is just stupid. Common sense, why did you give this two stars? This album has a different feel to it other than the first part of the album. All because you hate long songs thinking that it is "Successful pop marketing"? No way. Oh, the cussing? It isn't as bad as what you hear at school, college or whatever. One more thing, you forgot to list the "special surprise" at the end of the album which would've garnered it four stars or on a good day, five.

Could've been better

I feel like something's missing from a lot of the songs, except "Take Back The Night", the hidden track "Pair Of Wings", and even "Gimme What I Don't Know (I Want)" (despite the repetitiveness). "Drink You Away" is a good song, but I don't know....and "True Blood" can be broken into two parts instead of the entire song being 9:31... I guess it's just that the second part of The Experience doesn't seem 'polished' to me, unlike Justified, the first Experience, or even FutureSex/LoveSounds.

A blog by the magazine's editors and contributors

Where are the Senate's women? It matters.

The lede for this morning's feature article in Politico:

Four months after taking an electoral pounding, Republicans cant agree on what went wrong in 2012 let alone on a path to recovery.Each week brings a new diagnosis of the partys woes. Karl Rove says its candidate quality. Mitt Romney chief strategist Stuart Stevens argues Democrats have won over minority voters through government programs like Obamacare. Some Bush White House vets say its the GOPs trouble understanding how to approach a changing electorate. Techy conservatives blame the partys inferior social media presence and outdated voter targeting and data-mining. [...]Theres a split between those who believe the partys problem is cosmetic, those who believe its data-based and those who think its ideological and policy-based. Within those camps, theres no common ground on what a better approach would look like.

All these analyses may be right. But I think the photo the editors chose to run with the story signals the simplest aspect of the GOP's woes. As Gallup demonstrated, the gender gap in the 2012 vote was the largest in the poll's 60-year history. And though the next national election will choose senators that will usher in the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment (in 2020), there is still one party that is represented in grave disproportion by men.Consider our most august body of elected officials, the U.S. Senate, which currently has 4 women from the Republican party. One might retort that the Democrats have only 16 women, and indeed both parties have far to go before approaching a more "representative" government.

But what appears to be a 4-to-1 difference is actually much more dramatic in terms of representation and voter perception. Instead of counting Senate seats, let's consider how many actual people are represented by these senators. Republicans have AK, ME, NE, and NH. Democrats have CA (2), HI, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NC, ND, NH, NY, WA (2), and WI. The tally is about 5,236,900 people represented by a female Republican senator and about 121,816,900 people represented by a female Democratic senator.

So there is a 4-to-1 difference in seats, but there is a 23-to-1 difference in terms of actual voters. Almost 39% of our population is represented in the Senate by a female Democrat. Only 1.7% of our population is represented in the Senate by a female Republican.

One final number: if we double-count CA and WA for the Democrats, since both members of their delegations are women, the percentage shoots up to 53%. Granted, this is some funny math, since they are representing the same citizens. But it brings the point home that female Democratic senators are representing very populous states, while the Republicans are not.

In a representative democracy, people want to be represented. That's the GOP's biggest problem -- and it's not just, as they say, a cosmetic one.

Now let's do the same math for the Church ...

What self-respecting woman could belong to such a club?

"there is still one party that is represented in grave disproportion by men."I would say two parties.

Margaret, indeed! But haven't we joined worse.

And you have to love the hats.

While the lack of more women in leadership roles is hurting our politics, by focusing on it we miss the broader dimensions of what afflicts the American body politic.The only anecdote to this and other political problems about the broken state of the Congress requires something that makes the eyes of even the most wonkier folks here on dotCommonweal glaze over: Change the Constitution.It's time for a new American constitutional convention to rewrite the US Constitution and Bill of Rights so that it not only reflects our history since 1789 but also prepares us for the brave new world of the 21st century where the US will not be the dominant economic power. There have been myriad analyses in the media for years about the political imbalances between different US geographic regions from tax revenues to gender equality to military installations to income distributions to educational funding to voting rights, ... and on and on.There are NO politicians [Zippo!] at this present time on the scene, or in the offing, that have a clue about addressing these problems. So we citizens are consigned to lurching from one sequester to debt crisis to the next fiscal cliff to down-grading the US bond rating. What's next? And, the media just loves this: it feeds their 24/7 talk and information machine. The US is an empire in decline.Our major political parties are just a symptom of the underlying disease: Democrats try to keep the creaking mess going. Republicans have a death wish. The congenital inability to make a choice dominates the independents at the political center with their infuriating feckless passive aggressive indecision. [Note how Romney had a bump in the polls following the first debate, mainly fueled by independents concluding: "Hey, this white guy can really lie his way out of trouble - just like the Gipper!"]When he ran for President in 2000, Bill Bradley told us that "our politics are broken." We didn't listen then. We're not listening now.

Constitutional convention, si! Term limits for SCOTUS. Throw out the 2nd Amendment.

In the swath of suburbia where I reside, there are quite a few elected Republican women officials. But for whatever reason, they don't seem to go "up-ticket" to Congress, much less the Senate. I don't know why that would be, but it seems to be the case.

It would no doubt be good to see more Republican women in the Senate, though I'd much prefer more Democratic Senators, whatever their gender.I think we're using "representative" equivocally in this discussion. The word "representative" in "representative democracy" does not mean the same thing as the same word in the sentence "he was representative of his generation." In the context of political process, to represent means to advance the interests of; in the context of identity politics it means to resemble. It is the first meaning that ought to concern us first. Do I believe that, all other things being equal, a senator who's a man represents me better than one who is a woman? Not really, no. And if all those other things really are equal (a very big if), then a man might represent a woman as well as a woman would, just as an African American senator may represent me as well as a white senator.Let's say, hypothetically, that there were both rich and poor senators. A rich senator who voted to extend unemployment insurance, raise the minimum wage, and protect Medicaid would represent the poor voters in his state better than a poor senator who voted against their interests (and his own). Demographic correspondences of the kind Michael is writing about here are finally a pretty weak indicator of whether or not our elected leaders are representing their constituents well.

"I dont know why that would be, but it seems to be the case.'A long-standing Catholic practice as well ...." Gives truth to the adage that you'll always be, Rarely the dog, but most often the tree."From NCR about the time (1983?) when this finally stopped being forbidden.

I think that, all else being equal, a Senate that was half female would serve all of us better- men and women- than would a Senate that's not reflective of all of our voices. 70% of those women Senators, by the way, were once Girl Scouts (only 8% of US women were scouts).The Girl Scouts launched a campaign this year ToGetHerThere which is aimed at increasing the number of women leaders. Among its' many goals is to see Congress achieve parity by 2037.

I cut off the first part, so here it is en toto:"Ladies, Ladies, soon you'll agree This altar girl crumb from the Holy See Gives truth to the adage that you'll always be, Rarely the dog, but most often the tree." From NCR about the time (1983?) when this finally stopped being forbidden.

I didn't realize there were only four female republican senators. That adds some specificity to a quasi-serious proposal I recently made in a local newspaper column regarding the budget deadlock in Congress: "One behavior expert has called it middle school behavior. It is that. It is also guy behavior. Stupid standoffs seem to be our speciality. Why not turn negotiations over to the women in Congress. Let them select an equal number from each party (four in the Senate) and show how things can be settled, how adults behave. And if they can't do it, well, like a the ending of an old cheerleading chant from way back in the last century, "nobody can."

Matthew, your distinctions are correct, of course. And I intended to equivocate in the final line of my post. I agree it is theoretically possible that a Republican Senate delegation of men could advocate for issues primarily of concern to women, but the history has not shown that to be case very often. Laws such as the Family and Medical Leave Act were passed because of the tireless efforts of congresswomen such as Pat Schroeder, and such advocacy I think demonstrates that the two meanings of "represent" are not often separable in political practice. Yes, people are capable of putting themselves in another's shoes, or stepping behind a Rawlsian veil of ignorance when crafting public policy, but in practice we are not very good at this.

If were going to reduce ourselves to something as superficial as counting by sex, I see 6 women contributors on dotcommonweal, and 24 men. Hmmmm. Talk about a mens club!

Mark ... you are a year late and many dollars short. Gerelyn has dealt with this matter over and over and over.

True, Jim, but it's good to know that an all-round conservative has gotten the message.

Jim--When you are ready to actually address my point, please let me know.

Mark- Maybe it only seems superficial when it 's not your own gender that's heavily under-represented. And especially when that under-represented gender continues to experience discrimination in our society.

Irene--So, do you see this as evidence of discrimination?

Mark-I need to ask you, now, what is your point?

IreneThe point of my question was to raise the possibility that disproportionate representation is not a sign of (unjust) discrimination.As a further example, lets suppose theres a Jesuit University in, say, Manhattan where the male/female faculty ratio is heavily slanted towards one sex. Should I conclude the over-represented sex has benefited from unjust discrimination? That they should resign immediately to renounce their ill-gotten gains? Of course not. I think it would be inexcusably presumptuous and mean-spirited for me to jump to those conclusions.

It seems pretty clear that the Democrats are finding electable women candidates. It's pretty arguable that the Republicans are not. And the gender gap was large in the last presidential election. Both parties regularly beat the bushes, looking for candidates to groom and run. Republicans should work harder to identify electable women.

Mark- I do indeed believe that gross under-representation is a sign of discrimination. Both in the Senate and in the hypothetical university. (If the University in question were not co-ed, or the faculty were 100% Jesuit, that would be different, of course).And yes, you would indeed be, as you say, inexcusably presumptuous and mean-spirited to insist the members of the over-represented group resign. Just as you would be inexcusably presumptuous and mean-spirited to dismiss the claims of the marginalized group that they be more fully included.The Christian and generous thing for you to do would be to figure out how you can stand in solidarity with the marginalized and work together with them to make the institution in question more inclusive.

About Me

I love traveling as light as possible and learning foreign languages (I'm functional in Italian and Russian but I always try to learn the language wherever I am).

I just finished grad school studying planetary science. Now I'm in Israel for 3 months doing a data science internship.

As a scientist, I am awed and overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. I love using my imagination, being creative, having fun and enjoying life. I have a lot in common with hippies because when it comes down to it, equality, understanding others, peace, love, freedom - that's all just common sense!!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing

I have been using Hospitality Club/Couchsurfing for a while. I'm grateful it's enabled me to learn so much about different cultures and ways of life because of it and to share so many unforgettable experiences.

Back when I had fewer commitments, I used to travel a lot. Now that I am tied down to one place, I get to bring the world to me by hosting. :)

Exploring, getting to know people, cooperative living, rock climbing, snowboarding, biking, nature, dancing (SWING, plus salsa, blues, and most others), orchestras, piano, composing. i.e. music!! hitchhiking, movies, chess, history and politics, languages (especially Hebrew, Finnish, and Japanese, though I'll probably never learn them), gradually lengthening lists

Music, Movies & Books

Prokofiev, Spirited Away, Master and Margarita

... are my rapid fire answers, lots of other things too of course.

One Amazing Thing I've Done

I had an American friend I lost contact with and thought I'd never see again. One day, at a metro station in Moscow, I was on the down escalator, and he was on the up escalator. Blew my mind.

How CPJ investigates and classifies attacks on the press

OCTOBER 11, 2005
Posted October 14, 2005

Mam Sonando, Beehive Radio (Sombok Khmum)
Legal Action, Imprisoned

Authorities arrested Sonando, the head of Cambodia's only independent radio station on charges of criminal libel filed by Prime Minister Hun Sen. Sonando, owner and manager of Beehive radio (Sombok Khmum) was detained at his home outside the capital Phnom Penh. The prime minister filed criminal defamation charges on October 7, 2005 citing an interview broadcast in September 2005, which criticized a border agreement with Vietnam.

Hun Sen filed the charges after Beehive broadcast an interview with Sean Peng Se, an expert on Cambodia's borders, who questioned the accord with Vietnam. A government spokesman told Voice of America radio that Sonando was jailed for "professional mistakes" because the report on the border agreement gave only one side of the story. If convicted, Sonando faces up to one year in jail.

The popular FM station is the only source of independent news broadcasting in Cambodia. Beehive leases airtime to the U.S.-government run Voice of America and Radio Free Asia, another source of conflict with the government, which has periodically banned the rebroadcast of foreign-sourced news.

Sonando, a former opposition politician, was arrested in 2003 and spent two weeks in jail on charges of incitement, discrimination and disseminating false news in connection with anti-Thai riots that swept Phnom Penh early that year. The riots followed comments attributed to popular Thai actress Suwanan Konying that Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat Temple should belong to Thailand. She denied making the comments. CPJ sources who witnessed the riots did not believe that the radio station was a direct cause of the violence.

NetSure - Reduce Your Network Maintenance Expenses

Are you spending too much on network maintenance?

We've all heard about the pain of being "upside down" on a mortgage. In the world of Cisco networking, being "upside down" on a maintenance contract can be equally painful. It means you're paying more to protect a piece of equipment than it's actually worth.

Replacing expensive SMARTnet® support with Curvature's NetSure® service is a great way to "right size" your network maintenance while lowering operational expenditures (OPEX). NetSure also helps you extend the usefulness of equipment no longer covered under SMARTnet, so network upgrades can be done on your timetable, not Cisco's.

Curvature's highly experienced Cisco-certified specialists are available around-the-clock to apply their hands-on expertise to your entire network, including the often overlooked network edge and remote offices where SMARTnet is cost prohibitive. And, if cost savings of more than half of SMARTnet prices aren't compelling enough, then consider the following steps we'll take to help you optimize your maintenance plans.

IT Asset Maintenance

It starts with our Cisco-certified technicians performing a network assessment and careful cost-to-value analysis of your current maintenance program, including hardware replacement, technical assistance and software support. Also identified are areas where your network may have inadequate protection and exposure to downtime or outages.

Next, we'll work with you to tailor a program that ensures comprehensive coverage without colossal costs. Curvature's experts will recommend areas best served by NetSure's 24-hour Technical Assistance Center and next-day equipment replacement service as well as those network elements more ideally suited for effective sparing strategies or where the continuation of SMARTnetmakes the most sense.

Curvature's team blends different maintenance options to produce the greatest value at the lowest OPEX. The result: more time, resources and valuable budget dollars to invest in technical innovations that drive business growth and competitive advantage.

Find out where you can save, schedule a network assessment for your organization today. Click here to contact a Curvature technical professional.

Undecided Voter here

Convince me why I should vote for Barock Obama or Mitch Romney. I'm not a one-issue voter so the gay thing is not a deciding factor for me. Go.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 3711/06/2012

No. You're too stupid to vote.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 111/05/2012

Either you are troll who wants attention. Or you are a legitimate uninformed dumbass who wants attention and to be coddled.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 311/05/2012

If you're an undecided voter at this late date you should vote for Rosanne Barr!

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 411/05/2012

[quote]I'm not a one-issue voter so the gay thing is not a deciding factor for me.

You can vote for your basic civil liberties and dignity as a human being or you can vote for a tax cut of around 400 bucks. I'd suggest flipping a coin because for you, they are both about equally as important.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 511/05/2012

Oh great. The attention-whore faction of the undecided has decided to speak out.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 611/05/2012

Op: Did You Watch The Debates

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 711/05/2012

Why not just pencil in your own name? That way you can be sure of your choice.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 811/05/2012

Only the mentally retarded/challenged would be "undecided" at this point OP, SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT, or aren't you paying enough attention? And I don't intend mentally retarded as an insult either, you can't be too swift if you haven't gotten the grasp of things.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 911/05/2012

Mitt Romney was the equivalent to an Archbishop of the Mormon Church. It appears to be his one CONSTANT belief through his life. If that doesn't scare you...

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 1011/05/2012

I'll pass OP- if you are gay or can breath and to not know why you should vote for Obama- my advice will be lost on you.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 1111/05/2012

OP is clearly a parody post.

I do realize, though, that with Repugs being such mouth-breathing idiots, it is difficult to tell now. So I'm giving those of you who took the OP seriously a pass.

Just another 36 hours, and we can all stop being so insane. Cannot wait.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 1311/05/2012

I can see a cave dweller misspelling the first name of one candidate, but both???

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 1511/05/2012

R15, that's because they are both running for President of Bedrock.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 1611/05/2012

Romney will have to placade the Repug right wing and limit abortion rights and appoint right wing judges to the SC.

He will also do nothing about the insane gap between rich and poor in this nation because he doesn't really care about it.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 1711/05/2012

Placate of course.

I'm not an Obamabot so I could see where folks aren't thrilled about him as Pres. But Romney would be W all over again. Puke.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 1811/05/2012

Why should one have to be an O_ _ _ _ bot to see what a fucked up party the GOP has become?

The GOP is a fucked up party and you can hate Obama with the heat of a thousand suns, and still know the GOP is far worse.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 1911/05/2012

That's a lot of hatred to carry around all day.

Must do wonders for the complexion.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2011/05/2012

Do you also have trouble deciding on in or out, up or down, cafe or de-cafe, large or small, north or south and last but not least, or maybe, do you want fries with that?

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2111/05/2012

Don't think (or vote) Loretta. It don't work out for you.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2211/05/2012

If you don't know by now, you are probably not going to vote. If you are too lazy to get the information for yourself I don't have the time to encourage you to take this seriously enough.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2311/05/2012

VOte for the guy who you think can cum the loudest and the furthest, op.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2411/05/2012

Mitch Romney's father used to conduct simgalongs. He was very big at NBC

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2511/05/2012

Doesn't Baruch Obama have a Jewish college named after him in NYc? Maybe it's not officially Jewish, but it's very Jew-y

I'm very knowledgable about Jew York City. I got a lot of information from a history website called Stormfront.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2611/05/2012

How come oborma hadn't cleaned up the northeast yet after storm flood thing? I forget what it was called. Anyways, i seen people on tv who still don't have new houses yet and it's been like, a week already.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2711/05/2012

Mitch Robins father had to be born in Mexico because there was no room at the inn.

Sounds a lot like Jesus, so he has my vote.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2811/05/2012

No, no O'Bama is Irish.

Shitt Rmoney is Satan.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 2911/05/2012

OP, at this point - just flip a coin. Seriously. It's not like either one is worth a greasy fuck.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 3011/05/2012

Which one is the black guy?

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 3111/05/2012

Neither, R31 - There's a Mulatto and a Caucasian in the race.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 3211/05/2012

On the off chance somebody who is truly undecided clicks on this, vote for the person you want to appoint the next several Supreme Court judges. Do you want the pro gay marriage, pro preserving Roe v. Wade, pro civil rights, pro getting veterans healthcare and jobs, pro affordable college education guy?

Or do you want the religious nut who stalked a woman in his church to try and intimidate her into not having an abortion she needed for serious health reasons, after his own church approved it? The guy who held down a schoolmate and cut his hair with his gang of bullies, because he thought the guy looked gay? The guy who put Paul Ryan on his ticket, the guy who wants to eliminate FEMA, and replace Medicare with vouchers? The guy who wants to get rid of Obamacare on the first day, bringing back pre-existing conditions, who says it's ok if you're uninsurable if you don't have continual, uninterrupted medical insurance for any reason?

The guy who wants to privatize and thereby bankrupt Social Security within four years, impoverishing millions of seniors? The guy who wants to add $5 trillion dollars to the debt by giving away free tax cuts with no way to pay for them, just like Bush did? The draft dodger who sat in France during the Vietnam war trying to convert French people to a religion where alcohol is banned? The guy who wants to start wars with Iran and Syria?

The guy who is a Mormon bishop that wants to ban gay marriage, and picked a running mate and potential future President who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to have abortions even if they're going to die?

Here's the choice: a sadistic bully who hates gays, the poor, the sick, the old, women, the "47%" he claims don't want to help themselves or support themselves, which includes soldiers fighting in Afghanistan right now, or the guy that actually gives a shit about what happens to you?

This election is actually as close to good versus evil as I've seen in my lifetime. And that includes Bush v. Gore. Bush was stupid and selfish, but I don't believe he was a sociopath. Romney is.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 3311/05/2012

If you are gay and that's not enough to vote for Obama then go join your Log Cabin Nazis and vote for Romney.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 3411/05/2012

With one you get business perks and with the other you get social perks. So it's a toss-up which one to vote for.

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 3511/05/2012

How could you be gay and NOT want to vote for a guy named Mittens?

by Gay Undecided Voterreply 3611/06/2012

So it's erection night. Anyone know who won yet?
