A Few Questions

As I perused the headlines today while I worked, I ran across a few items that have been issues of question or controversy. Suddenly, the "answers" are here, but it seems even less clear. My comments are in burgundy.

After hearing something about a possible UFO siting, early in January, it hasn't really been in the forefront of my mind, what with world war and economic collapse, but I do find the explanation highly suspect, now that we hear this 2 1/2 weeks later, and the tag line on FOXNews begins with the word, truth.
Truth Is Out There: UFOs Over Texas ID'd by Air Force; one click later, I see the headline:
Mystery May Be Solved for Texas Town Abuzz Over UFO Sightings
This article explained that after the Air Force had denied any activity in the area, they are now telling us they had several planes in the area that night. . . They didn't know that the next day? Maybe they are going to tell us the exercise was Top Secret. Yeah . . . That would explain it.
and the last line of the article was:
"What we want is the government to admit there are UFOs and what they know about them," Cherry said.
I don't doubt the possibility of UFOs, nor have I seen one, but somehow after these past several years, if the government says it ISN'T, I'm guessing it IS.

HUCKABEE LEARNED POLITICS IN CHURCH
"There's a political savvy that Baptist preachers who made it big in the Southern Baptist Convention learned from their mother's womb," said Bill Leonard, a former Southern Baptist seminary professor and dean of Wake Forest University Divinity School in North Carolina. "It's an instinct to know how to read populist moments and movements."
Is this the Southern Baptist interpretation of the passage, Jeremiah 1:5?
"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."

Calif. Court: Medical Pot Not OK at Work
SAN FRANCISCO — Employers can fire workers found to have used medical marijuana even if it was legally prescribed, the California Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The high court upheld a small Sacramento telecommunications company's firing of a man who flunked a company-ordered drug test. Gary Ross held a medical marijuana card authorizing him to use the drug to treat a back injury sustained while serving in the Air Force.
The company, Ragingwire Inc., argued that it rightfully fired Ross because all marijuana use is illegal under federal law, which does not recognize the medical marijuana laws in California and 11 other states.
The justices upheld that argument in a 5-2 decision.
"No state law could completely legalize marijuana for medical purposes because the drug remains illegal under federal law," Justice Kathryn Werdegar wrote for the majority.
The U.S. Supreme Court declared in 2005 . . .
The American Medical Association advocates keeping marijuana classified as a tightly controlled and dangerous drug that should not be legalized until more research is done.
Marijuana has been researched for years and years and years, G~D made, it by the way. Why was our government not so diligent regarding the research of ASPARTAME?

And this I read in the Washington Post
Obama's Farrakhan Test
Barack Obama is a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright's daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan.
Maybe for Wright and some others, Farrakhan "epitomized greatness." For most Americans, though, Farrakhan epitomizes racism,

How does this resolve the question of Barack Obama's beliefs or the teachings of the church in which he as been a member for 20 years? How does this separate him from the Muslim issue?
