Oh, Trey K, you look so dreamy winning me that big shiny trophy.

Obviously, and another thing -- don't sing anymore. That was so embarrassing. I'm the singer in Traylor; you're the dumb jock with the wholesome family, so let's keep it that way. Hey, did you almost get shot today?

Don't tell me what to do, Tay. I have a handler,

Oh yeah, Babe, good thing you didn't come to Kansas because that way there were a million people there, or like 950 thousand, and this guy went apesh*t and shot a bunch of them at the end. Then they jumped him. That ought to scare everyone into supporting the Dems and their anti-gun bills instead of Orangeman Trumpet.

Well, great, the plan is going just as, uh, planned.

Huh? Oh yeah.

We're going to be on the right side of history and get rewarded for it once the Dems secure power again.

California loves Tibetan Buddhist leader.

The 14th and current Dalai Lama addresses the California State Legislature on June 20, 2016, during his first visit to California's state capital Sacramento. The California State Legislature has not held a joint session with a foreign dignitary since 2014.

Dalai Lama: gun control, Orlando, climate

SACRAMENTO, California - In front of state lawmakers weighing a slate of gun-control measures, the Dalai Lama said Monday [June 20, 2016] that ending violence requires inner disarmament and an education system that focuses on teaching moral values, compassion and what it means to be a global citizen.

In a speech to lawmakers in the state Capitol, the Tibetan spiritual leader called a sense of community “the basis of our own happy future.”

His comments came in the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando and the deadly attack in San Bernardino in December, which led California lawmakers to introduce more than a dozen gun-control bills.

“Real gun control must come from here,” the Dalai Lama said, pointing at his heart.

 

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate also spoke to the Legislature of the need to care for the planet and the threat of climate change -- a hallmark concern for Gov. Jerry Brown -- in an address that diverged widely from his prepared comments. More

American Buddhist Political Candidate

Bob Stuart (Waynesboro NewsVirginian.com, July 22, 2009)

A victory in the suddenly wide-open 20th District state House race could make Erik Curren a minority of one. None of the General Assembly’s current 140 members list "Buddhism" as their religion. However Curren, the Democratic nominee in the 20th, is a practicing Buddhist who also attends a Methodist church.

A prominent local Democrat, Augusta County Supervisor Tracy Pyles has raised Curren’s faith as a potential problem in November, even as Republicans scramble to field a candidate in the wake of Chris Saxman’s withdrawal from the race. Pyles said Tuesday that Curren is a strong candidate, but erred in failing to reveal his Buddhist faith. Pyles said he spelled out his concerns to Curren during an April meeting with the candidate.

“I told him it could be a killer issue. It could be a tough one,” Pyles said. “... [I]t is better to be out front and honest about things and trust people to make the right decisions.” Curren’s campaign Web site makes a brief reference to religion, but says nothing about Buddhism: “Erik attends Crozet United Methodist Church with his fiancée Lindsay Howerton and her two daughters, Anwyn, age 14, and Chloë, age 12.”

Curren said he did not expect Buddhism to emerge as a campaign issue. “The whole thing really surprises me,” Curren said. “My religious faith is really important to me...it’s been an impetus and an inspiration to support the community and show empathy for others.” Curren began practicing Buddhism after inquiring into the religion more than a decade ago. He later authored a book, “Buddha’s Not Smiling,” exploring corruption among Tibetan Buddhist leaders.

More than two-thirds of the state House is split up between five mainstream Christian denominations, according to personal biographies listed on the General Assembly Web site. Five lawmakers cite no religion, three are listed as Jewish and one other as Unitarian. Twelve senators cite no religion, one is listed as Jewish and the rest are all Catholics or Protestants. More>>
