			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em> “At the wedding, someone will pull the president aside and say, listen, you’re not losing a daughter, you’re losing a war” &#8211;Bill Maher</em></p>
<p><strong>5. This is actually a perfectly lovely picture of Jenna, I add it only to remark on how much Barbara Bush (daughter) looks like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v9yUVgrmPY">Alanis Morissette.</a> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://cache.wonkette.com/assets/resources/2008/05/family.jpg" alt="jen1" height="240" width="360" /></p>
<p><strong></p>
<p>4. As her father’s daughter, I would have expected that she could hold her alcohol better.</strong><span id="more-8984"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.allhatnocattle.net/JennaBush%20party.jpg" alt="jen2" height="346" width="309" /></p>
<p><strong>3.  To all of you naysayers out there, this picture is proof of how much Jenna has changed in the last eight years. Now she can remain standing whilst drinking. I sure hope that’s the lucky groom.  </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.polichicksonline.com/jenna%20and%20hager%20snuggling.jpg" alt="jen3" height="417" width="384" /></p>
<p><strong>2. Is she yawning or screaming? It&#8217;s the difference between an important political function and a Three Doors Down concert, both of which have an equal affect on our nation</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.clusterflock.org/Jenna_Bush_Reconsiders.jpg" alt="jen4" height="220" width="320" /></p>
<p><strong>1. The economy is in the sh*tter, the war in Iraq is years from being over and will cost the nation upwards of $3 trillion dollars. Rock on, Jenna. Rock on. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://bridalbird.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/jenna.jpg?w=367&h=303" alt="jen5" height="303" width="367" /></p>
<p>In all seriousness, I wish The Hagers a very happy and harmonious marriage. But&#8230; I just can’t help but think of all the men and women fighting and dying overseas who will never get a chance to have such a lovely wedding and it sort of makes me lose my sense of humor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/30/angelina-jolie-athiest.jpg?w=348&h=388" alt="angelina-jolie-athiest.jpg" align="left" height="388" width="348" />America was founded on religion, right? We hear God in the Pledge of Allegiance, we debate prayer in schools, and we swear on stacks of Bibles. But some of America’s most memorable leaders were, in fact, Atheists.</p>
<p align="left">Politically it is unfavorable, socially unacceptable and statistically unbelievable, but many American heroes wore the scarlet letter. Some people claim that the founding fathers of our nation were nearly all infidels including Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson and even Abraham Lincoln, stating that they had no direct belief in Christianity.</p>
<p>It wasn’t until the late 1950’s that “In God We Trust” became our national motto and was printed on paper currency to counteract “Godless“ communism. So if America wasn’t founded on Judeo Christian beliefs, where did these strong religious undertones come from, and why the hell is there a bible in every seedy motel in America&#8230;right beside the vibrating bed? <span id="more-3805"></span></p>
<p>Next time you are on vacation open up that bible in your hotel and notice where it comes from. All bibles are distributed throughout American hotels by one specific organization. An evangelical society over a hundred years old founded by two traveling salesmen, <a href="http://www.gideons.org/" target="_blank">Gideons International</a> now makes sure 112 bibles per minute are distributed across the country. But it wasn’t until 1908 that numerous copies found their way into hotels, nursing homes and firehouses. Around the same time, “In God We Trust” was implemented on to our paper currency and “one nation under God” was put into the Pledge Of Allegiance. Originally, the piece contained no reference to any deity but when the threat of communism was plaguing America Eisenhower felt the need to instill religious values as a moral compass and symbol of national unity. Thus, blurring the lines of church and state.</p>
<p>Perhaps you have heard the saying: “There are no atheists in a foxhole”, but there are quite a few soldiers who beg to differ. As a result of Katie Couric recently evoking the statement on NBC’s  <em>Today</em>, atheist civil rights groups are up in arms and after viewing The FX network&#8217;s &#8220;reality&#8221; docu-series <em>30 Days: An Atheist Among Christians</em>, I learned a few important facts about America’s most oppressed non-religion:</p>
<p>Statistically, America is 75% Christian and as “one nation under God”, only 5% of our country is considered atheist. Shockingly, their approval and acceptance is lower than all other minorities, actually making the bottom of the list. When asked via survey, it has been discovered that American parents would rather their children marry any minority over someone with no faith in God or a supernatural power. When voting for president, women, homosexuals, and other minority groups had a higher approval rating than a candidate that was a non-believer.</p>
<p>The question is: Why are we so intimidated by non-believers and can we eliminate the great divide?</p>
<p>Atheists are not moral deviants nor does their belief give them an ethical carte blanche to wreak havoc on society. They are simply defined as people who hold no belief in a higher power, people who believe that in death existence is terminated. For some reason, the most scientific way of seeking truth in the world is tossed aside for supernatural mythology. There is nothing wrong with committing to a religion, but you would think something faith based would be more taboo than the rationalization of science.</p>
<p>Many people maintain that politics and religion are personal topics to steer clear of in passing conversation. But an open social dialogue is what keeps people informed and can be an open door to different points of view. Yes, saying “I am an atheist” is a dicey move, you may even get a blank stare from the crowd across the room, but it is important not to compromise your beliefs for acceptance. Angelina Jolie, Julianne Moore, Bjork, Roseanne, Bill Maher, Howard Stern, Lance Armstrong, Kathy Griffin, Ray Romano and Billy Joel have all professed their disbelief in organized religion and proclaimed themselves members of this highly controversial system of thinking.</p>
<p>Woody Allen, a devout atheist once said; “Not only is God dead but try getting a plumber on weekends.”</p>
<p>Amen to that…or woman for that matter.</p>
