J. Leon Holmes
While everybody is enraptured with the news of Kerry picking Edwards as his VP, this slipped under the radar... Bush's nominee for the Arkansas federal bench was approved in a narrow 51 to 46 vote.Mr. Holmes has a record of saying startling things, like his statement that rape victims become pregnant as often as it snows in Miami. He also wrote in 1997 that in a marriage "the woman is to place herself under the authority of the man."This is scary stuff, and rather indicitave of the motivation behind Bush's religious beliefs.

Yeah, that's how the bastards have been working us for years- burying the scary news in a busy news cycle. I only hope- desperately hope- that we can throw that talking monkey back to the Texas mud-pit he spawned from, before he gets a chance to put some deluded religious whacko on the Supreme Court. Scalia, Rehnquist and that prawn-brained Clarence Thomas are bad enough- and they almost form a majority. One more foxhead on the bench and we're fucked for good.
Greetings from Toronto by the way. I like it here. It's nice.

The word of God states that the man is the head of the woman, Christ is the head of the man, and God the Father is the head of Christ. All men have someone they submit to... out of free will or because they are paid to do so. The idea in Ephesians chapter 5 is that the wife ALLOWS the man to be the LEADER(not the dictator)so that order and unity is preserved. It does not preclude the wife having as much input as she desires (read Psalms 30 verses 10-31 about the virtuous wife).

I appreciate your input mr. brown, but your explanation relies on your own personal (admittedly quite widespread) mythology to define the intent of this man. This in no way reassures me that the man's inability to understand the callousness of his own remarks somehow does not adversely affect his ability to be making decisions that impact the course and direction of this country.
