Greg Borowski of the Milw. Journal Sentinel reports:
Credentials: Every day, once all the credentials for that evening have been distributed, there is a drawing for any extra passes to get on the floor and sit with the delegation. They are distributed each morning, with this sign meeting delegates: “Photo ID required.”
Of course, photos IDs should only be required for voting on the next president at the convention, they should NOT be required for voting for the next president in the primary or general elections. Puh-lease.
Emergent Church pastor Brian McClaren is under fire for appearing in an election commercial supporting Barack Obama. He should also be under fire for saying silly things, like he did recently:
“Christians, Muslims and Jews are, in some ways, the most dangerous people on the planet, and probably Christians being the most dangerous because their fingers are closer to the most nuclear weapons,” he told an audience here at Baker Book House. “If (Muslims, Christians and Jews) can find points of contact, maybe it will help us avoid pressing these buttons,” he said.
This is a silly thing to say when “the Muslim bomb,” i.e. the nukes in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, are under command-and-control transition as Musharraf leaves office.
Georgetown has hired the first director of its LGBTQ Resource Center. She is the former associate director of the University of Maryland’s Office of LGBT Equity. According to the report,
Harrison said GU Pride [the LGBTQ student group] is looking to launch efforts this year to make the campus more “trans-friendly” by working to provide bathrooms and better housing options for transgender individuals. In addition, he said he believes it is important to bring more diversity to the organization, particularly in bringing a greater variety of political views to the group. Harrison said Subbaraman’s work as the first director of the center will help to catalyze these efforts. “Having a person who can advocate for our issues is a big achievement,” he said.
Don’t think for a minute that this could not happen at Marquette – the GSA has already brought it up at a forum with Fr. Wild… While he feels the Counseling Center is currently sufficient, if pressure from the politically correct crowd mounts …

“Don’t think for a minute that this could not happen at Marquette”
It won’t happen at MU, and frankly I am surpised it happend at Georgetown, self-congratulatory dissent from the Catholic Church, while still obviously present, is, in it’s current form, past it’s peak and on the wane.
Catholic colleges will either become more Catholic or simply become over-priced 99% secular dinosaurs in a losing competition with state colleges.
