4. no, I'm quite fond of them. I've done a painting called Homeland

Security and it shows lots of gargoyles and dragons. It was painted on a large mirror and hangs by the front door.

it can be disconcerting to realize you are seeing yourself in the background.

3. Whose faith?
I am sure they are not going to let a muslim faith participate in this program.
I hope some muslim group tries, then we can all say who is racial profiling now?

Check out his government site

8. Dear God, please bring back the separation between church and state
snip:

In welfare and social policy, the Federal Government will play a new role as supporter, enabler, catalyst and collaborator with faith-based and community organizations. The White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has been established to make Federal programs more friendly to faith-based and community solutions and to make federal funding more accessible.

By Executive Order, effective immediately, each of the following Cabinet agencies will create its own Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to work in tandem with the White House OFBCI, to make federal grants available to Faith-Based and Community Initiatives nationwide.

Cabinet Centers for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives:
Department of Health and Human Services;
Department of Housing and Urban Development;
Department of Labor;
Department of Justice; and
Department of Education.

Jim Towey is the director of faith.
