Am I the only sane one left?

I was called a "secularist ayatollah" today. No really, a secularist ayatollah. Should I take that as a compliment, an insult, or sheer lunacy?

The hiiiiills are aaaaa liiiiiive.....

Singin' the "I have an urgent paper to write, but I'd rather be doing anything else" song. Today I'll post some Kierkegaard quotes for no reason. For the record, my paper is about Hegel, NOT Kierkegaard.

+Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.

+I begin with the principle that all men are bores. Surely no one will prove himself so great a bore as to contradict me in this.

+God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.

+People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

Toys for girls and boys!

I went shopping to buy toys for the local Christmas charity thingame the other day. Holy Jeebus, have toys always been so violent and sexist? All the toys were either designed to make boys into psychopathic solidiers or girls into passive baby factories. I opted to get toys that teach kids to be either creative or active. So, etch-a-sketches, crayons, puzzles, basketballs, and hot wheels die-cast cars.

So, another Turkey Day under the belt. Nothing much to report here. Turkey. Stuffing. Smashed potatoes. Punkin Pie. Dinner followed by a nap. Then I got dog-style sick. It's been Christmas since Hallowe'en for us retail workers, so nothing to report on the start of the Christmas season either.

Only Episcopalians will know what this means, but thankee Jesus that my church is going to stop using Eucharistic Prayer C next week. O, how I hates the "Star Wars" prayer!

I suppose I should post about the elections, but instead I'm only going to post this little video. http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=1756

Rock the Vote, A'ight!

Election Day. Let's participate in the democratic process for old times' sake! Now if only they put socialist candidates on the ballot in Indiana... I've come to find that when I say I'm a socialist people think I am saying "Weee! I'm CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!"

I saw the show House MD for the first time yesterday. A kid comes in and Dr. House just KNOWS it's Edward Munsch syndrome! But doctor! No one ever has Edward Munsch syndrome! And everyone says Dr. House is crazy, because as you know, no one ever, EVER gets Edward Munsch syndrome! But Dr. House heroically sticks to his guns and delivers poignant bon mots about how sure he is and about the job of a doctor in this crazy world of ours. Alas! The kid does have Edward Munsch syndrome! The end,

I hereby rechristen House MD "Predictable Hospital Drama."
