Thanks for the coverage of the vice president’s visit to Grand Junction. And special thanks for covering the warm and enthusiastic greeting of the kids from Holy Family School.
It was good to see kids celebrating the leadership of our country without political prejudice or correctness. It reminded me of days past when this was still one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Yes, and once again we see how politicians “use” children for their selfish purposes. The children were outside and allowed to see the arrival. There is nothing wrong with that. What followed was not so laudatory. The White House press office “requested” that the chlldren be allowed to see the motorcade depart so that they “could take pictures.” That behavior by the White House press corps was not only unworthy, but totally contemptible. It is called “using children” for one’s self-serving and totally selfish reasons and was nothing but an “act” on the part of the Vice-President and his staff. They could care less about “the children” except as a prop. The record of this administration toward “the children” speaks much louder than any photograph they may have obtained by this charade.

Very well stated RL. Further, how many lies can one church possibly heap upon their children: that somehow Cheney is an honorable man and not subject to numerous impeachable offenses? That birth control is wrong & immoral? That virgin birth is real? That church pedophiles deserve special protections & bailouts?
It’s time to end these dark times, and demand that faith answer to reason.

Oh, Great, Chancho, now you have Dick Cheney AND God against you.
I’m not sure which one you should be more scared of…..

NO doubt there’s a special place on the banks of the Lake of Fire reserved just for me.

I got a boat….costs a sixth of a drachma to go across, though.

We’ll meet one day at the launch, and I’ll even bring the Mezcal.

let’s hope that the HF school principal is raked over the coals by inquisitive parents who don’t support the war machine. doens’t seem like this would be something true catholics would condone.

My Lord, people…. you’re talking about CHILDREN!
They have no political agenda, no religious fanaticism, no ulterior motives. On the first pass by, the kids wanted to see the motorcade, they had the opportunity and the school administration took the opportunity. I dare say that if the motorcade had passed by a public school, that school’s administration would have taken the opportunity, as well. Let’s give the little ones a break!
The second pass was used as a photo op… so what? Why is that a problem? Because it was VP Cheney and not Hillary or Obama or Governor Ritter? You honestly think they wouldn’t have made the same request?
curmudgeon and chancho… this is the Bible’s description of the lake you two are so intent on discussing in jest and what follows being tossed into it… doesn’t sound like a boat would help you much:
“And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” Revelation 20:10

Actually, I was appropriating the image of the Lake of Fire from Judeo-Christian mythology, to make jokes about Charon and the River Styx, from Greek Mythology. You know, it was a joke. As I said before, I have no problem with the original letter writer’s being proud of children being lined up and old to wave flags. Heck, they probably enjoyed it.
We were, in fact, discussing that concept in jest. Your taking it so seriously is quite humorous, as well.
