Raking Leaves, Deaf Boys, and Pure Joy

 

Update from Palawan

Bush hosts the pope

What a shock to pull up the news this evening: "Big Brother" Bush is hosting the pope this week -- and the news says he's pulling out all the stops.  What a slap in the face to separation of church and state!  Washington has been stripping us of our liberties lickety-split, and apparently come far enough that Bush feels quite comfortable paying the pope a public honor unlike
