I'm a beginning writer about 2/3d the way through my first short story. While I am drawing on my life experience to develop my fiction, I am constantly amazed at where my imagination takes me. This whole process started with a single thought as an opening line. Though I had an idea where I wanted to go with my story, I had no particular plot in mind and only as the story unfolds on the page am I getting a sense of where my muse is taking me. It is actually thrilling to write what I know nothing about in terms of the final product. I still don't know how this first experiment in writing will turn out but it is a great journey.

Arianna Huffington's blog has progressed from a place where people express themselves freely to one where censorship is excessive and lifelong (the life of Huffy) bloggers are purged and all their comments are deleted. For example today, Arianna's thugs deleted this comment on the McCain-rejects-Hagee-endorsement page:

Re: "This stuff about pastors needs to stop!"

WRONG: this stuff about pastors involved with politics needs to stop!

30 years ago a chunk of Christian churches decided that Job One was politics. This culminated with the George W Bush administration of fundamentalists and Christian extremists destroying what it meant to be American in the world.

Rather than a light, it has been proven that religion and politics create evil. The church needs to be isolated from the corrupting influences of power.
