I think the difference will be that the anger will be suppressed. I’m not sure that you will see the Obama equivalent to the Bush derangement Syndrome. Not to mention, I doubt you will see someone making movies about assassination fantasies from the right. Not that I care. I would prefer everyone in the middle.

KATIE GRANJU NOTES a reporter at MSNBC covering for Obama. “I think McCain should find more meaningful things to talk about on the campaign trail. But to many Americans, the Ayers issue is not insignificant, and it’s not up to the reporter writing a supposedly straight news piece to take a point of view on the matter. I don’t see the biased reporting by the “liberal mainstream media” behind every tree that a lot of conservatives do, but I will call it when I do see it. And I see it here.”
I’m afraid that the way the media is covering for Obama is generating a lot of anger that will make it harder of Obama to govern if elected. Some may see this as a plus, but I see it as furthering the already excessive polarization in our society. I think the media tilt, and the ACORN controversy (which are connected, of course), will be for a lot of people on the right what the Florida recount was for a lot of people on the left.
I’m glad to see that the Big Ticket will go to 3 Days. We can’t go to Ichthus do to cost, so It’s great to have some of the rock groups come here.

Check this dude out. I have always said that would be the one in the nursing home asking my grandchildren if they heard the latest from some heavy metal band.
Mary and I had the opportunity to go on a retreat this weekend. Part of this was for the business end of the youth ministry at the church. Part of the day was spent relaxing, where I read a book on youth ministry that I've wanted to read, as well as do some lectio devina. The lectio wasn't as successful as I would have liked, but I was left with a few impressions.
One impression was from Hosea 14:2-10. It has to do with repentance. Recently, I have been reminded that some of the sayings of Jesus started with, "It is written." So I have been looking in the Old Testament for those sayings. Hosea writes many things that are repeated in the N.T. The impression is that I need to study this book.
Another is that my accountability project with a couple of teens will be starting soon. As I read the youth ministry book, I realized that my greatest source for these guys will come from the Bible.
There may be more, but that will come later.
