Tom Vilsak just officially announced that he will be running for president in '08.

(I'm counting on Hilary to run, win, and then divorce bill)

I just found out about this in gov and politics.

But i do know that he's a democrat. No republican would announce that they're running for president so soon.

besides it's not like republicans have a shot at the white house

Our next president will be a democrat, thank f*cking god.
We need to keep christian conservatives out of our government.

Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the first Muslim elected to the United States Congress, has announced that he will not take his oath of office on the Bible, but on the bible of Islam, the Koran. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
