I really enjoyed watching the Democratic Party Rules and By Laws Committee, live on television today. Did I get that right is it called the rules committee?

Obama has now resigned from his Church.  I would have thought the line would have been drawn when this first started with Rev. Wright; but no, now he really drew the line after the latest comments from the new (white) Rev. Pfleger.   Without getting involved in a rather long blog of which we all know what happened, how do you feel about this entire controversy?  The only thing I will share is that I was shocked when I first saw the clip.  Is there something in the Holy Water at Trinity United Church of Christ or was it Wright or is it now Pfleger?

PLEASE NOTE:  I am speaking about the News listed to the right of the screen, not the topics of the day.I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but, I am really NOT impressed with the Topics that Scripps Howard News Service has been providing on this site. There are truly so many more important issues at hand in the world other than Spelling Bee Families, cameras and winners.  I am wondering if you can start listing topics of greater interest.  Is there anything we can do as an RBA community to assist, or am I the only one that feels this way.  Feedback from group?

This is a clip from a NYT op/ed.

May 31, 2008 Op-Ed Columnist Farewell, Fair Weather

By CHARLES M. BLOW

We are now firmly ensconced in the Age of Extreme Weather.

As I am posting this blog, the 30 members of the DNC Rules & Bylaws committee are meeting, behind closed doors, in the ballroom of a Washington DC hotel. In the balance is what to do with the votes of Florida and Michigan.

Both Florida and Michigan were stripped of representation for holding their elections in January, in violation of party rules.
