We can get Kate to do anything! Just say that Madonna will be thereish! I grew up on Duran Duran, so I do understand it a bit. Though I'm NOT a fan of their newest album. Seriously... Justin Timberlake?! Come on, guys! Hey! We can get Kate to do anything! Just say that Madonna will be thereish!

My dad used to wish I could learn my times tables as easily as Madonna songs. My dad kind of bribed me into moving to the US because this was where Madonna lived. I had no idea how far from CA and NY, Texas was. :) I grew up on Madonna. My dad used to wish I could learn my times tables as easily as Madonna songs.

It really is so sad isn't it? I'd like to have a "gurukula" where former students of the actual gurukula are in charge. And their specific job description is to recreate an authentic experience for the "students." Now THAT would be some awesome reality tv. Oh! It really is so sad isn’t it?

Just like Clinton supporters pretended that there was a reason for the US to be in Kosovo (and Iraq). If a spiritual leader *doesn't* know early Madonna, i'm suspect. But not nearly as suspect as I would be if they knew current Madonna (ew!).

Yes, we, like most religions, disagree with the practice of abortion. However, for a spiritual leader to write like this, especially when it's about an election, is cheap. It's no secret that I don't really agree with the idea of government. However, I agree even less with religion/spirituality being involved in government. Not because it taints the government (cause really, can't get much worse), but because it taints religion. I think what bothered me most about this is that it was divisive.
