”I think it was important, a little bit for the stability factor, that it wasn’t God who was going to perform a miracle, end the war and bring us home. It was men. It was Caesar. I think the majority of those guys felt the way I did but we just had some, just as people turn to faith healing and that kind of stuff, we had some of that. A lot of times I would pray for strength and I think sometimes I got it. Pray for patience to get through the next minute when things were bad. I just don’t think it’s fair to expect too much out of what is basically not the Lord’s business.
John McCain on the preaching he did to his fellow POWs in Vietnam, from this NYT article.
I think McCain gets the idea of separation of church and state — an idea that, seriously, goes all the way back the Gospel. McCain’s alluding to it here; “Caesar” as in Matthew 22:21.

Greg Fischer and Bruce Lunsford are both running for the Ky. Democratic party’s nomination for U.S. Senate this year. Fischer’s campaign created a Web site to advertise Lunsford’s “baggage.” Hey, whatever works to keep Lunsford out of office.

Worst Campaign Idea Ever?
Apparently a Congressional candidate spoke at a celebration of Adolf Hilter’s birthday. But don’t worry! He’s no Nazi!
Zirkle confirmed to The News-Dispatch on Monday he spoke Sunday in Chicago at a meeting of the Nationalist Socialist Workers Party, whose symbol is a swastika.
When asked if he was a Nazi or sympathized with Nazis or white supremacists, Zirkle replied he didn’t know enough about the group to either favor it or oppose it.
The report uses objective newspaper voice for great comedic effect — it could be straight out of an Onion article.
