Mr. Brown's creed
I believe that I have found my one true soul mate; the person I laugh with, the person I cry with; the person I celebrate with, the person I grieve with; the person I share with, the person I confide in; the person I wake up with, the person I go to sleep with; the person I live with, the person I die with; the person I love.
I believe that God, even the mere idea of God, is big; too big to describe as fact. It takes belief, strong personal faith, to describe God and all He is.
I believe, because of this, that faith and belief are a separate, even opposing, entity from the idea of government. And should remain separate.
I believe each and every citizen of our free country should have their beliefs and ideas tolerated as well as tolerate the beliefs and ideas of others.
I believe that even after you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, you still can’t judge them. That is God’s job.
I believe that responsibility is a quality lacking in today’s world. Maybe it should be taught in schools, too. Maybe even throw in another high-stakes test or two! (Or maybe not.)
I believe that knowledge truly is power.
I believe that education begins at home, is supplemented and enhanced throughout school, and should never be confined solely within the school’s walls.
I believe that no one is ever done growing up. The day you cease to learn anything new and valuable is the day you cease to exist.
I believe that free market capitalism as it exists in the United States today serves one purpose: to encourage good, ol’ fashioned greed. It achieves two objectives, 1) helping the rich get even richer and 2) helping the poor get even poorer.
I believe that, even though I plan on voting for Barack Obama, John McCain would make a pretty good president. Then again, after the past 8 years, I think a headless mannequin could do the job and we’d be no worse off. But Sarah Palin frightens me. Truly, honestly frightens me. If John McCain is elected, I hope he remains in good health for the duration of his term.
I believe that cheering for the Tar Heels is one of the great joys of this life.
I believe watching dook lose is another great joy in this life. And I believe people should stop spelling it “Duke” like that’s the way it’s really spelled. It’s dook, people!
I believe that if I concentrate and focus hard enough, any suggestions, criticisms, or insults that I hurl through the television at referees, coaches, and players can and will be heard…by me. And my wife. Who then tells me to stop. Because they really can’t hear me.
I believe that anyone who refuses to place a grocery cart in the Cart Return should be clubbed in the kneecaps with a crowbar so they’ll actually have an excuse for not walking their lazy butt the extra 5 to 100 feet.
I believe that hip hop music is unfairly tossed aside as artless. Dude, the good stuff is unbelievable poetry set to incredible rhythms and beats.

I'll try to find you some and I'll bring'em to YA!
It seems time to send Sarah Palin back to big-time political boot camp. Answering two separate Katie Couric questions with the same answer? Check! Having a hard time answering a question with a direct answer at all? Check!

Awkward
I want to get this right. Word for word. No misquoting. Straight from the horse's mouth.
Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska and current GOP Vice Presidential Candidate...
"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God."
"That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."
WOW.
Republican foreign policy is a complete joke. It has been for the past eight years. Palin's thoughts only reinforce this.
Seriously, the GOP has hypocritically waged a Holy War, a Protestant Jihad, in Iraq. They wage war in Iraq in God's name. And in the same breath they fight a terrorist organization that wages war in their God's name. How are the thugs occupying the White House any different?
And why does God need the GOP to fulfill His will? What happened to the church? Have we officially given up on the purpose of the church and now depend on the US government to do its job? If that's the case, people might want to consider the McCain/Palin ticket as evidence of the end times, not Obama/Biden.
