AN AMAZING PICTURE, A MEDIOCRE STORY: Dang, that Bono does get around. When he's not curing AIDS, gracefully losing the Nobel Peace prize to Mohamed ElBaradei or just generally acting like a socially conscious rock star, he's posing in photo ops with Pennsylvanian Evangelical senators. Wonders never cease!

A fellow conservative in arms and student at the University of Chicago, e-mailed me an update from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute--one of the few pro-conservative student institutes out there--including this lovely pic.

Apparently, the some dude, George Srour, met with Senator Rick Santorum and rock legend, Bono to discuss his noble purpose to start the non-profit organization, "Building Tomorrow: Destination Kampala." Srour shared his new organization's initiative to serve orphans impacted by AIDS in Uganda with Senator Santorum and Bono.

Great. Bono loves AIDS. Santorum loves orphans he can convert to Christianity. Match made in AIDs-infested heaven. Jeez, if only we could get Bob Geldof in there to sing to them. Maybe they could broadcast it on AOL.

Reflecting on the objective of ISI's Simon Fellowship for Noble Purpose, Bono said, "Focusing your life on bringing hope and justice to those in despair and poverty, one person, one family, at a time, is not just all you can do...it is everything."

Cheers to you--Rick, Bono and some dude.
