They are on the Verizon FIOS cable line-up. David "There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as "caring" and "sensitive" because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money -- if a gun is held to his head."--P. J.

She exudes warmth, cheerfulness, etc And it is difficult, indeed, not to notice her smile, which is rather incredible given the fact that she seems to have Olympic quality gymnastic lips which , quite nicely, move all over the place as she speaks. Watching her mouth is a major attraction, to be candid.   The show is called   " Tiny Tots for Jesus."  The hostess sits amidst a small number of pre-school little tykes and tells them simple stories about Jesus. Very charming.   No idea what anyone might do with this vital information, or even if anyone here receives 3ABN on their TVs, but FYI.  Absolutely non-pretentious, and, I think, very effective. Maybe least of all for the kids, who, after all, are much more interested in bugs or toys or dolls than anything else, but for parents who may watch and not only see a show that is good for their at-home kinds, but that, completely innocently I think, reaches mom or dad with a message that has deep value, expressed with utter simplicity.   Billy   -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <RadicalCentrism@googlegroups.com> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <RadicalCentrism@googlegroups.com> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
