Two women came before wise King Solomon, dragging between them a young man.
"This young man agreed to marry my daughter," said one.
"No! He agreed to marry MY daughter," said the other.
And so they began arguing until the King called for silence.
"Bring me my biggest sword," said Solomon, "and I shall hew the young man in half. Each of you shall receive a half."
"Sounds good to me," said the first lady.
But the other woman said, "Oh Sire, do not spill innocent blood. Let the other woman's daughter marry him."
The wise king did not hesitate a moment. "The man must marry the first woman's daughter," he proclaimed.
"But she was willing to hew him in two!" exclaimed the king's court.
"Indeed," said wise King Solomon. "That shows she is the TRUE mother-in-law."

Obama and God
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kyle-drennen/2009/06/05/newsweek-s-evan-thomas-obama-sort-god
Newsweek's Evan Thomas says President Obama is God:
What do Obama and God have in common?
Neither has a birth certificate.
How do they differ?
God does not think He's Obama.
And there's another difference between God and Obama, and that is that liberals love Obama.

Video Review: Taking Chance
Last night I watched a rented DVD: "Taking Chance." I was deeply moved.
It tells the story of U.S. Marine Lt. Col. Michael R. Strobl, as he escorted the body of a young Marine killed in Iraq to his final resting place in Wyoming. It's a compelling story, but not an easy one to watch. It's not the kind of movie you'd want to watch again and again, but you should watch it once.
It's based on the trip report that Strobl wrote immediately after the the event. After getting permission from the family, he emailed his account to a few friends, and from there it spread through the military and around the world. You can read it here: http://www.chancephelps.org/?page_id=126
Kevin Bacon's portrayal of LTC Stroble is outstanding -- flawlessly eloquent in its depiction, often wordless, of the entire process by which the remains of a fallen serviceman are prepared and shipped home. The pacing of the movie is slow, but riveting. I watched the entire 1:40 without pause.
You'll be touched by the response of the American people as they encounter the escort. The respect shown by people from all walks of life is touching.
