Snip from today's WSJ essay on her trip to Egypt: "It is time to abandon the excuses that are made to avoid the hard work of democracy," said Ms. Rice. "There are those who say that democracy is being imposed. In fact, the opposite is true: Democracy is never imposed. It is tyranny that must be imposed." The article goes on to say "Ms. Rice's speech strikes us as among the most important delivered by any recent Secretary of State."

Being single may not hurt her–it’s not as if she wouldn’t already be breaking every mold in sight.

All else being equal (which it wouldn’t be, of course…), I’d rather have a single female President than have a married one- it would put off the slightly tricky matter of figuring out what we should call the husband.

Well, I didn’t want to use that “halo” word, because it sounded like I was trying to put one on Condi. I was just rambling on about how the sensing of someone as a light-giving being has a long and much-commented history in the world of phenomenonemolology.

Halo, maybe, but with my research grant I’ve been able to confirm that Condi is into sports, male sports. Bet she is watching the Pistons and Spurs just now.

And erp, you may be right about her destiny.

Aura. The Renaissance halo, depictions of a circle of light around some spiritually exceptional individuals, seen by some few ‘sensitives,’ was not representational, but a sign, an artists’ convention, a shorthand, for a phenom of a light or shine that is just perceptible, but that some can see–or sense–around some others. So I have read here and there.

erp,

Some people refer to what you are speaking of as a vision of discernment of a call. If you keep a journal you might wish to record it. I know people who have prayed for years for a clear vision.

Some force greater than ourselves created it all. No doubt about that. Exactly what or who that was — I don’t feel qualified to expound upon, but since Buddy complimented for being brave, I’ll say what I danced around in my previous comment.

Somehow I know this to be true — Condi has been called.

You may be sure that in a million years I never would have thought I would ever think such a thing, never mind write it in a public forum, but I do believe it to be true.

What's laughable about the 50 mm research grant, is it's to ameliorate the very situation that Summers got into trouble for pointing out in the first place. Think about that a moment. He got in trouble ostensibly over an untruth, which the grant is to change. So, what, is the money going to a campaign to make high school girls LESS interested in science and math? Boy, the pretzels are twisted. They should give some of the money to this little gal, who has true problems.
