I didn&#8217;t really know what to think about Bush&#8217;s decision on the port situation.  I saw some of the pros and cons.  But when I learned that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/archives\/ic\/2006\/2\/21\/103107.shtml\">Jimmy Carter<\/a> was on the same side as Bush, the answer became clear.  I&#8217;m not sure that I&#8217;ve ever known someone so consistently wrong as #39.  It&#8217;s hard to imagine anyone else being right as often as JC has been wrong.<\/p>\n<p>2.

Some of the comments are great, but the ones by the professors Caner &#038; Caner are distressing.  My good opinion of them has evaporated; ignorance was bliss.

That people name their babies one thing but <a href=\"http:\/\/girltalk.blogs.com\/girltalk\/2006\/02\/birth_day_diari_6.html\">call them<\/a> something else.  What&#8217;s the point of a name if not to identify a person?  You only compound the error when the &#8220;name&#8221; you choose to call the baby by is one that no one will ever be able to pronounce or spell.  Yes, you have cursed your child for the rest of his\/her life.<\/p>\n<p>But one thing to make me (and you?) happy: the grandfather of cursed child in #3 recently wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1590523261\/bibleplaces-20\">Humility: True Greatness<\/a>, which I read twice in the last two months and highly recommend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
