GALLUP: Nearly 1 in 3 Believe Bible is Literal Word of God

About one-third of the American adult population believes the Bible is the actual word of God and is to be taken literally word for word, a new Gallup poll reveals. This percentage is only slightly lower than several decades ago.

Gallup reports that the majority of those "who don't believe that the Bible is literally true believe that it is the inspired word of God but that not everything it in should be taken literally." Finally, about one in five Americans believe the Bible is merely an ancient book of "fables, legends, history, and moral precepts recorded by man."

There is also a strong relationship between education and belief in a literal Bible, Gallup explains, with such belief becoming much less prevalent as schooling continues.Those who believe in the literal Bible amount to 31% of adult Americans. This is a decline of about 7% compared with Gallup polls taken in the 1970s and 1980s. It is strongest in the South.

Believe in the literal word of the Bible is strongest among those whose schooling stopped with high school and declines steadily with educational level, with only 20% of college graduates holding that view and 11% of those with an advanced degree.Well, that explains everything!!!

Congress Passes War Funding Bill

This is the hard, cold reality of governance without a veto-proof majority. The Dems raised minimum wage and secured $20 billion for domestic programs, as well as set benchmarks for the Iraqi govt. receiving US aid money. Don't forget the hearings and investigations of corrupt and illegal actions, either. The attack ads were ready to blow all weekend long, depicting Dems as not supporting the troops on Memorial Day. They've only been in charge for a few months, anyway. Let's see what happens in the days to come.

"Both houses of Congress on Thursday passed a $120 billion Iraq war budget, after Democrats reluctantly agreed to President George W. Bush's demands to strip it of troop withdrawal dates.

The Democrats had demanded troop withdrawal timetables for months, and included them in a 124 billion dollar budget vetoed by Bush earlier this month.

But they finally conceded to political reality, as despite controlling both chambers of Congress, they lack the two-thirds majority needed to block a presidential veto. Read the full article HERE

Bush Threatens Veto of Gas Gouging Bill

How is it that a gallon of gas is at record prices, but the cost of a barrel of crude oil is down? I know, it must be connected to those record profits oil companies are making! A bill is up for a vote in Congress that would make price gouging illegal. Unfortunately, Bush has vowed to veto it. I wonder why?

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones) -- "President Bush is likely to veto legislation that would create hefty fines and criminal penalties for gasoline price-gouging, the White House said Wednesday"The White House, in a formal statement of administration policy, said the legislation amounted to price controls that would hinder oil companies and retailers from responding to market signals, potentially worsening fuel shortages."

This is our down time on the live music front. We should be back in the saddle by Sunday.

Political Punditry

Did I hear Ms. Goodling correctly? She admitted that Karl Rove's protege, who replaced a fired US Atty. in Arkansas, had engaged in "caging" voters, a Republican tactic of voter suppression deemed illegal, and forbidden by court order. Strange that he's in Bill and Hill's backyard, hmmmm? We have a big problem here, and if you throw in this new Executive Order, it looks very dangerous to our constitution and democracy itself.

Wednesday May 23, 2007 - Garageband Loops - Acid Loops - Royalty Free Music - Flash Loops - Guitar Loops - Hip-Hop Loops - Thats what it is all about!! Inner Rhythm Studios has a great selection. Hi guys. So last night we got together with my friends Smoov and J.J. JJ is one of the best male vocalists that I have ever heard. I love this guy! I've worked on a few projects with him. One of the things that I like about Jay, is that he is so easy easy to work with. For such a talented person, he really doen't have very much of an ego. You gotta love that about him. Smoov was there too, which was great. I hope JJ comes back, but you never really know with him. If he was feeling the vibe, my guess is that we will see him again. If not, then oh well. It was nice seeing him again, though. Here is a recording that we did to give you a taste of what Jay is capable of. This is really a pretty bad example of what Jay can do, because he wasnt that familiar with the song. I did give him a copy so that if he decides to come back, he will know better how to sing it.

Anyway, here it is - CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

US sends two aircraft carrier groups to the Gulf

Hey...wasn't Cheney just over there 11 days ago? This must be the surge they were talking about. If you mean preemptive invasion or or carpet-bombing an adjacent oil rich nation by surge, that is. Remember, Darth Cheney warned you. You don't know the power of the dark side. Read this article courtesy Raw Story here. Also, check this out, if you want a good laugh!

The latest prediction from NOAA is right in line with the rest of the global warming scenarios seemingly coming to pass. This story is courtesy of Reuters News Agency.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The 2007 Atlantic hurricane season will be active with 13 to 17 named storms, seven to 10 of which are expected to become hurricanes, the U.S. government's top climate agency predicted on Tuesday.Of the seven to 10 hurricanes forecast, three to five will be major ones of Category 3 or higher with winds over 110 miles per hour, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in its annual forecast.. For the rest of the story click here.

Oddly enough, A large group of religious leaders of the major faiths are urging the President to adopt a much more aggressive position on combating climate change. Citing a moral and spiritual crisis, the leaders of the National Council of Churches, the Islamic Society of North America and the political arm of the Reform branch of Judaism have spearheaded the effort. Again from Reuters, read the full article here.

It's my pleasure to announce that we are playing at Fiorino's in Santa Rosa Saturday June 9, 2007!! We have a couple of weeks to go so I imagine we will ramp up practice to get it super-tight. Karl will make sure of that. I hope you like the new tracks we put up on both blogs. This stuff is getting crazy fresh and I can't wait to rock!

Acid Garageband Loops and Royalty Free Music - Flash music

Tuesday May 22, 2007 - Garageband Loops - Acid Loops - Royalty Free Music - Flash Loops - Thats what it is all about!! Inner Rhythm Studios has a great selection. Good morning people. I was just checking our Google ranking for the keyword "Royalty-Free Music". It looks like Inner Rhythm Studios is ranked #141 - ouch! We aren't even on the map! Oh well, hopefully our new marketing efforts will improve our position. I've been sitting here in front of this computer for 2 months trying to figure all of this out. It has been fun, but I need to take a break, go on vacation or something.

On the cover band tip, I talked to Smoov yesterday. He said that he wanted to join our project. He has told me this before, but then flakes. It's too bad because he could contribute alot to what we are doing. He has the vocal skills for harmonies and good rhythm for synth backups. It's just trying to fit everything into his busy schedule. I hope he makes up his mind quick style, because I got a call from an old keyboard playing friend of mine yesterday. His name is Keneth Roy. Ken has produced 4 CDs of his own music. Here is a link to his stuff - http://www.wireonfire.com/kennethroy/ - Anyway, Ken is going to come to our studio next Sunday and see if he digs the vibe. It would be so great to add keys to this project. Keyboards open a whole new dimension in what we as a cover band will be capable of pulling off. I personally would like to delve more into the R & B side of things. Get some dance funk going. I love classic and modern rock, but I also have a special place in my heart for bands like Earth, Wind, And Fire, The Gap Band, Kool and The Gang, old school groovin', you know what I mean? We need to do some rap stuff too. It's going to be awaesome! I'm out...

This is a development in the fired US Attorneys debacle, again courtesy of The Raw Story.

"One of the nine U.S. attorneys whose firing has led to an investigation into the Justice Department alleged a government cover-up of the real reason he was ousted. John McKay, who was a U.S. Attorney in Seattle during a disputed 2004 Governor's race in Washington, said over the weekend that he may have been sacked because of insufficient pursuit of criminal charges against Democrats related to that ultra-close race."

Monday May 21, 2007 - Garageband Loops - Acid Loops - Royalty Free Music - Thats what it is all about!! Inner Rhythm Studios has a great selection. Ok gang, here is the scoop. I've been monitoring Inner Rhythm Studios progress on Google and Yahoo. We have been grinding away on our marketin efforts for 2 months now. Here are the results: For 'Garageband loops', we were ranked #37 a few days ago. Now we rank #18 on Google!! Wow! For the keyword 'Acid Loops', we ranked #25. Now we rank #22 - improving. For the keyword ' Music loops', we used to ranked #33. Now we rank #20! Wow! Inner Rhythm is still not ranking for the keywords 'Royalty-Free Music' or 'Flash Loops' , but I am working on it. Hopefully we will start seeing some results in those areas as well. Yahoo has been giving us the cold shoulder, though! I wonder why... Anyway, if we can get on the first page of search results on Google, we will be one step closer to buying that tour bus that we need. I think I am going to put a huge graphic of the Inner Rhythm logo on it! That would be cool!
