Can anyone name everyone in this video?Thanks to Amy for suggesting. We were on the same wavelength today because I’ve been sending it around… I think it is the most wonderful video ever.

At a school where Roberts’ wife is seriously called “the first lady” this is big news. It is big news with yet more potential political consequences for…

Those evangelicals opposing Mitt Romney on spiritual grounds are becoming more direct in their opposition. Concerned evangelicals oppose the belief that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s theological differences are less important than his seemingly shared conservative social values. They also emphasize Mormonism, by its own definition, is antithetical to historic orthodox Christianity despite its adherents’…
