Amen.


This was sent me yesterday by my Mom, "...you've probably seen this blessing over election results..." she wrote. I had not!

Branches of Government by Sarah Palin

I'm very happy with my debate performance. John seemed to like it too. He didn't call me a "cunt" once tonight.

But a lot of people are asking me about that government branch thing. It seems complicated, so I sent Bristol over the Vice President Cheney's office and the came up with this super-neat diagram. The only thing it's missing is Jesus, but I gave it a good rebuking so it's OK.

"Bush nudges Egypt on democracy"

Hmmm....???

The title of this brief post is a headline from a recent edition of The Providence Journal. The article is sindicated from the Los Angeles Times.

This brings up the remark Mahatma Gandhi made in response to a question about his opinion of "Western Civilization".

" I think it would be a good idea."

Grace Paley & Friends, Saving The World

Here's a wonderful statement,
a quote from Grace:

" Let us go forth with fear and courage and rage to save the world."

Dwight D. Eisenhower quote?

In most communities it is illegal to cry "fire" in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?
