And they'll know we are Christians by our love.


There's a little scriptural joke going around the internets. A prayer for Obama. You can by it on Bumper Stickers, mugs, Jammies for baby, etc. It says Prayer for Obama" Psalm 109:8. Here is the text of Psalm 109:8 : " Let his days be few; and let another take his office." Okay... a little disturbing, but maybe just Wingnut-ese for hoping Obama is limited to one term. Here are the next few verses though:

9 Let his children be fatherless,
and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:
let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;
and let the strangers spoil his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him:
neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off;
and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

So are the good Christians who sport these stickers and tee-shirts calling for Obama's death? Is this, in essence, a fatwah against the President, or are they merely using the Lord's name in vain?

We always called it Armistice day


Dad during his Midshipman cruise around 1941. The ship, we think, is the Battleship Arkansas, and Dad is Officer of the Deck here. Thanks to sister Peg for the photo. Happy Armistice day.

Please Adopt these Kitties


We suddenly found ourselves to ba a home for wayward cats, thanks to a very fecund feral cat who had the savvy to see us as easy marks. She began bringing her babies up to the porch to be fed. We adopted one generation, but they kept coming! Well, Momma was abducted by aliens, spayed, and returned to Earth with a missing 20 hours, but the latest batch of babies need homes. Won't you help out these cute little scamps?

Overheard at the polls:

This is not quite verbatim, but a pretty close paraphrase
"Got a census form, and I tell you , I think it's an invasion of privacy. Acorn wants to know how many people in the house, how many bedrooms, how many bathrooms , how many *bedrooms*. Acorn wants to know that cause they wanna place crack babies in our houses."
