State Rep. Peter Sullivan today called upon Congressman Jeb Bradley and New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Warren Henderson to renounce statements made by Republican televangelist Pat Robertson calling for the assasination of the President of Venezuela.As a Disney stockholder myself, I call on ABC to remove Robertson's show from future airings.
"Pat Robertson is a foul blight on the American political landscape. His call for the assasination of Hugo Chavez is morally repugnant for a self-described clergyman, and diametrically opposed to the core values of the Christian faith", said Sullivan.
"Congressman Bradley and Chairman Henderson have a moral obligation to clearly and unambiguously renounce the lunacy of Pat Robertson. To allow his irresponsible remarks to go unchallenged is to tacitly condone their content."
"Hugo Chavez is a thug. There is no question about that reality. The challenge is dealing with him in a way that does not undermine American moral authority on the world stage. We should confront Chavez with the full range of diplomatic, political and economic options available to us. We must not allow ourselves to stoop to his level by condoning absurd options such as those proposed by Pat Robertson", concluded Sullivan.
The St. Louis Cardinals are 12-8 against Central Division teams since the All-Star break. Tony LaRussa has tied Sparky Anderson with 2,194 wins. With Matt Morris starting tonight, he should pass Sparky for sole place in 2nd.

Congressman Ben Chandler will be in Boyle and Lincoln counties on Friday. He has secured money for expanding a stretch of U.S. 127 and U.S. 27.
The following press release was issued earlier by musician Brian Ray. Ray is soon to be on tour as a guitarist/bassist for former Beatle Paul McCartney.
When Brian Ray decided to record his first solo CD, he didn't have to look far for a supporting cast. The award winning songwriter for Smokey Robinson, guitarist and musical director for Etta James, now on tour as guitarist and bassist with Paul McCartney simply asked some of his mentors and friends to help him out.The CD, to be released on Ray's label, Whooray Records, is due out on November 1, 2005.
When he asked the legendary blues singer Etta James if she would sing with him on the CD her answer was simple - and immediate - "I'll do anything for Brian." Not surprising considering the bond the two had developed over the years Brian had spent as her musical director and guitarist. "She's family to me, really," he explains. The rest of the players were a few more of his best friends - Scott Shriner from Weezer, Davey Faragher from Elvis Costello's band, Abe Laboriel, Jr., Wix Wickens and Rusty Anderson from Paul McCartney's band all appear on the album with Brian. The collaborators? Oliver Lieber, Adam Cohen, Tonio K.
The resulting album, Mondo Magneto, is filled with fresh, stylish songs whose lyrics and catchy melodies stay with you long after your first listening. It's a pop record that rocks and a rock record with pop radio sensibility. "What was really fun for me about making this album," Brian explains, "was that every person involved came into the studio and brought their own personality to the sessions. And that shows on the CD."
Also announced today, as I learned in my email today was that "the expanded and completely re-edited DVD version of Bruce Springsteen's historic solo VH1 Storytellers concert will be in stores September 6."
