Well, it seems odd to be saying so here in mid-October, but the weather’s been a little too hot for my liking. We went on a walk this evening; I had Isla in a moby, and boy – did it ever get hot in there. I’m holding out hope (based on the weather forecast) that fall will be arriving in temperature as well as leaf color.
I think I may have surfed the web a bit too much today, too…
So, it appears that rival religious groups are arguing over whose prayers are being heard in regards the trapped Chilean miners. My guess is that none of them are being heard, since no god has done anything to help the men, who have been trapped for over two months now. Still, I do think the best course of action, when in a crisis like this, is to let the religious fanatics (yes, I know that’s redundant) stand back and pray. That keeps them out of the way so the real people – armed with tools and science – can perform the rescue.
Meanwhile, over in Quebec, a father slapped his 13-year old daughter so hard, that she died. Wow, you say, she must have done something awful. Indeed, she did: she balked at having to say her nighttime prayers. I wonder if this guy still thinks he’s going to heaven now? My guess is that he does, because the bible is littered with people who killed children (such as Elisha) and still expected god’s good graces.
One other thing: If you have teenagers at home, this will help them learn how to act when they go on their first space date:

Well, we don’t have Carl Paladino running for office here in Minnesota.
Here’s New York gubernatorial hopeful Carl Paladino speaking about his views on sexuality. He mispronounces the word “perverts,” but since he’s a New Yorker, he probably mispronounces just about everything. Also – what was with the dress code at this meeting? Must’ve been after a Fiddler on the Roof revue:
Shouldn’t those Jews be stoning Carl? I mean, after all, he’s clearly violated Yahweh’s law and shaved his sidelocks. I wonder if Carl also tried to curry their favor by telling them he supports the re-instituting of slavery, public stoning, and polygamy.
In other news, here’s some good news: It appears the don’t ask/don’t tell policy is going down despite Congressional Republicans efforts to keep it in place. Things in the Navy are about to get a lot more interesting.
