    Bill extends operating authority through September, cuts subsidies for rural communities

    No it does NOT.  LaHood now has “authority” to “exempt” rural airports from the cuts.

    Warren Jeffs was just in the wrong religion.  If he were a Muslim, it all would have been fine.  I married Aisha when she was six and consumated it when she was nine. 

    Humduallah!

    Warren Jeffs should be a Muslim.  Multiple wives are fine and he is already giving up alcohol.  Maybe he can find Allah in prison.

    Space & time restrictions keep me from regurgitating he complete text of the article, much less the bill. This is why I link the article, which includes the business about the exemptions.

    It is the will of Allah (as explained to us by the Elders of the LDS and the Supreme Court) that such things are forbidden not only to the Dar Al’Islam but also to the kufr in this country.
