Texas and rain…

Kevin Williamson did an  entertaining column   on Texas Gov. Rick Perry.  As he points out in a related post at the corner,  many people laughed at the notion of praying for rain in that drought and fire stricken state.   But it  has rained.

Easter reflections…

Begin with ABC’s  Cokie  Roberts insisting  that people call His Oneness a Muslim because they can’t say they don’t like him because he’s black.  Never mind that whites elected Obama.   If that what Roberts actually believes?   Who knows,  but it’s certainly a convenient means of avoiding any discussion of why people might not like his policies or their results.  Funny,  though,  I’ve heard the same position put forth against those who question whether Obama is a natural born citizen,  or even those who wonder why he doesn’t produce his Birth Certificate.

The Obama White House has  released statements  recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays and one on Earth Day, but none on Good Friday or Easter,  neither of which merited mention in the President’s weekend address.   The omissions probably won’t help His Oneness any  with Catholic  voters.   I venture that his choice of church  to visit for Easter Services being based on politics and race isn’t likely to help him much either,  though for me it raises the question of why Obama thinks it necessary to shore up his base.   And based on  this report,  the church was not the non-political event the White  claimed,  unless you believe that comparing Rush  Limbaugh to the KKK has no political overtones..   Is His Oneness alarmed by  his standing  in recent polls?
