...remember Bush's saying "politics as usual" was over and that he would do things differently. His followers said he was "a uniter, not a divider." I didn't have much faith in him then, and now I have even less. Bush has only one agenda, that of his devout conservative followers and Big Business. He doesn't care about uniting this country or including those of us who didn't vote for him. He doesn't care about true corporate reform. If he did, he would make ceos pay back the money they got by ripping off American taxpayers...
...Guides can be hired in Hatu Buliko for $10, though the path to the peak is not difficult to find on your own. Climbing it is another matter. The three-hour hike is strictly for masochists or the blindly devout. The views from the summit, however, redeem the effort. Pony trails snake along mountain ridges, terraced rice paddies tumble down steep slopes, wisps of smoke rise from straw huts, and eagles hover on thermals far below. Those who undertake the climb midweek will, more likely than not, have the summit to themselves. Few experiences can match sitting aloft and alone...
...rise of Hitler, a wicked man who wanted to murder the Jews, read like a Bible story; his utter destruction, and the subsequent return of the Jews to Israel after 2,000 years and the capture of Jerusalem's Old City by the Israelis in 1967, were taken by devout Christians and Jews alike as evidence of God's handiwork. Israel once again controlled the Temple Mount, a site so holy to Islam and Christianity as well as Judaism that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's simple act of visiting the mount was sufficient to ignite the current Palestinian uprising...
...Sarajevo, Bosnia, shared the news in a recent letter to his wife. Anela Kobilica told TIME last week that her husband detailed Gitmo's new sanitary arrangements. Delta's 612 cells--metal boxes about 8 ft. square--are now equipped with flushable toilets and knee-high sinks in which devout Muslims can perform their ritual ablutions. Air-conditioning is still provided only by the breeze off the Caribbean...
...Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, the backup musician who literally (at 6 ft. 7 in.) overshadowed a legend. In the '80s he became the lone Los Angeles songwriter to favor salvation over sin on a series of tough, moralistic solo albums. (Burnett and his wife, singer Sam Phillips, are devout Christians.) Burnett segued into producing and, while helming more than 40 albums for such artists as Elvis Costello and Counting Crows, became a beloved figure among musicians. When O Brother beat out U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards...
