Stores won't sell pornographic magazines, pharmacies won't carry condoms or birth control pills, and cable television will carry no X-rated channels, he said in a speech last year to the first annual Boston Catholic Men's Conference…

I just wanna point out that with the exception of a few places where the water obviously has weird chemicals in it (Kansas and South Dakota), there really aren't "red" and "blue" states. Even here in his "home" state of Texas Bush only got around 65% of the vote and that other 35% is a whole hell of a lot of people. Not to mention that only slightly more than half the eligible voters voted in the last election anyway, so almost half of the population hasn't colored themselves red OR blue yet.

There, now that I've said that, I'll just say that I fully support Tom Monaghan giving away all his money in the service of an old celibate German guy living in Rome.
