Tea Partier Inspired By Limbaugh
C.L. Bryant, 55, of
Grand Cane, La., says he may lose his pulpit over his Tea Party activism, which
began almost accidentally when he attended a rally a year ago in Shreveport. A
former president of the NAACP in Garland, Texas, he says he’s sorry that his
predominantly black Baptist congregation is frustrated with him.
"I've become the pastor of the Tea Party. ... "I was flipping through the AM
stations and I ran across a guy called Rush (Limbaugh). ... Even though I knew
he was an entertainer ... there were some things that he said that rang true.
So my lean toward
conservatism actually began with listening to a conservative radio program."

well is not dead yet.

not securely plugged to his satisfaction and that the drilling of the relief
well — long regarded as the only way to ensure that the hole at the bottom of
the Gulf of Mexico never leaks oil again — must go forward.
"The relief well will be finished," said retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen.
"We
will kill the well."
