The Mittinator?  OK - this link has almost nothing at all to do with the topic of this blog, but it made that sad excuse for a nickname come to mind and I could not resist.

I'm betting we'll be hearing from him soon.

How things are lining up in Michigan.

I agree, and yet it seems like a political loser.  I feel like as a candidate he ought to do the same picture in a new frame or something like that.  Lowell:  Yes, it's a mistake simply to adopt the Bush approach.  I bet we will see something different soon.  Romney's too smart to do otherwise.

WAIT! I though Mormons were "a cult" that did not respect the beliefs of others and were going to force us all into compliance?  What is amazing to me is there are those out there that will read this story as an opportunity to bash Mormon ideas as strange rather than note the cooperation and understanding it represents.  Lowell:  This is a pretty old controversy, long since resolved.  I will say, however, if after I die someone wants to vicariously be baptized a Catholic for me, I have no objection. 

This is fascinating.  A proposal in Poland to name Jesus "King" of the democracy.  That idea lies at the heart of the creedal Christian understanding of democracy and governance, I presume Mormon as well.  And yet to formalize the understandng in the documents of government would exclude those of non-Christ-centered faith, which is, I presume, the reason for the Roman Catholic Church's lack of support.  Who can forget all the Polish Jews killed in WWII?

Cal Thomas sounds a very interesting warning note.
