2006 : The Good

The Immigration Rallies
By 2015, the largest ethnic group in the country will be Latinos. The rallies are the beginning because, come 2008, we Latinos will be swinging the vote. The GOP knows it --that's why they appointed a chicano as their chairman.

Muhammad Yunus
He won a Noble Peace Prize for proving that poverty not only leads to violence but that the poverty of women, and the violence inherent in that poverty, affects whole nations.

And the "So good it's bad, bad, bad" Award goes to...

Stephen Colbert coined the phrase but the art of truthiness was perfected by Sacha Baron Cohen in his movie Borat.

He is so good he is bad. Badass cool. Brothercool cool. Borat has turned Cohen into the sexiest Orthodox Jew in Hollywood.

Words to live by

"While it may be fairly said that Mr. Lincoln entertained many Christian sentiments, it cannot be said that he was himself a Christian in faith or practice. He was no disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. He did not believe in his divinity and was not a member of his Church.

"He was at first a writing Infidel of the school of Paine and Volney, and afterwards a talking Infidel of the school of Parker and Channing....

"If the Churches had grown cold -- if the Christians had taken a stand aloof -- that instant the Union would have perished. Mr. Lincoln regulated his religious manifestations accordingly. He declared frequently that he would do anything to save the Union, and among the many things he did was the partial concealment of his individual religious opinions. Is this a blot upon his fame? Or shall we all agree that it was a conscientious and patriotic sacrifice?"

— -- The New York World (about 1875), quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beleifs of Our Presidents, pp. 138-39
