    Katrina relief money funds erotica and exotica while DHS Chief slashes counter-terrorism dollars

    Friday, June 16th, 2006

    6/16/2006 09:54:00 AM|||Jeremy Del Rio||| “A $200 bottle of champagne from Hooters and $300 worth of ‘Girls Gone Wild’ videos were among items bought with debit cards handed out by FEMA to help hurricane victims, auditors probing $1 billion in potential waste and fraud have found.” Article.In yet another Katrina related FEMA fiasco, auditors reported [...]

    There in Spirit

    Thursday, December 15th, 2005

    A bout with bronchitis (mine) and pneumonia (my wife’s) prevented me from getting arrested at the Capitol in DC yesterday along with Jim Wallis, John Perkins and others. But much love and respect to those who are willing to speak prophetically against injustice. For more on the prayer protest against domestic poverty, read: More Than [...]

    “Church Planting: A Threat to the Constitution”?

    Monday, December 12th, 2005

    Marci Hamilton, a professor at Cardozo Law School, wants you to think so. At issue for the professor is the most recent federal court decision from November 2005, which ruled that New York City cannot prevent churches from renting school buildings for Sunday morning worship. Specifically, the judge enjoined the Department of Education from enforcing [...]

    Lou Engle to appear on Nightline tonight

    Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

    I’m guessing Nightline’s interest has everything to do with the abortion-related Supreme Court cases this week and the pending nomination of pro-life Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. I met Lou in 2001 when The Call, a prayer movement he organized, wanted to come to New York, and I served as one of the [...]

    Exchanging Freedom for Justice?

    Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

    I mentioned in my CCDA recap Jim Wallis’ invitation to pray at the Capitol in DC on behalf of our nation’s poor: On Wednesday, December 14, we will pray for and call on our nation’s political leaders to reject a budget that harms our nation’s most vulnerable (learn more). This peaceful act of prayer is [...]

    Over the Edge

    Friday, November 11th, 2005

    Pat Robertson did it again this week. Following-up his call for assassinating Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez this summer and his irresponsible accusations about Iranian nukes last month, this week he warned “the good citizens of Dover”: “If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city.” [...]

    Not sure whether to feel guilty

    Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

    I’m a big proponent of exercising our right (and responsibility) as American citizens to vote. I wrote an article on the subject last year, and urge friends and associates to vote even in off years for largely unknown candidates. Today is Election Day, and I forgot to vote. Actually, I didn’t forget, just procrastinated until [...]

    He’s fired up

    Monday, October 31st, 2005

    Will Samson has a powerful post about the current Republican scandals and the evangelical silence in response to them: … Many in power within the Republican world stand accused of treasonous acts or other significant felonies. (As an aside, all of the current mention of indictments involve men) Scooter Libby, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney [...]

    The Community Guide to Helping America’s Youth

    Monday, October 31st, 2005

    Last week, First Lady Laura Bush convened the White House Conference on Helping America’s Youth at Howard University in Washington, DC. (Rudy Carrasco wrote about the conference here.) Among other things, the conference introduced a Web-based guide on youth development research and model programs. To learn more about the conference and the tool kit, visit [...]

    Not his finest hour

    Friday, October 28th, 2005

    This week has been brutal to President Bush. 1. Another hurricane. 2. More FEMA delays. 3. The 2,000th casualty in Iraq. 4. Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers withdraws. 5. Senior aide indicted for 5 crimes, including perjury, obstruction of justice, and false reports. Here’s to hoping for a better week next week. posted by Jeremy [...]
