I believe that "Father" is Rev. Moon, but you can read the article somewhere online, I lost the address a couple of years ago. Senator Burns name was in that article and your mention of where his money came from reminded me of that story. I don't know why.

How politically niave of you, Pogie ... and, God in heaven, couldn't we use a whole lot more of that! Over the last 6 months, I have given at least twice as much to the Tester campaign than I have to any other candidate (or most combined) in my life. I think you've nailed exactly why. Tons of politicians talk about working for families and people ... without ever seeming to know what "the people" really want. The current disatisfaction with congress should clue these idiots in: what we want aren't meaningless resolutions and prettily packaged handouts, but rather honesty, integrity, and consideration. “and I suspect, the kind of people who will only ask that a candidate repay them with leadership, honor, and regard for his home state.”

Love is in the air. Pogie nails it: Burns is a corporate sweetheart cause he’ll carry whatever they want, whether it’s pesticide on children or sweatshops in the Marianas. Pogie also notes only one serious contender has a majority of his funds coming from in-state: Jon Tester. [...] [...] Springtime. Love is in the air.
