There is a blog that I read daily, but it’s not on my list of “Daily Reads”. That is because I only read this blog to keep up on the tripe and lunatic propaganda that extreme liberal media mouths vomit onto the web.

Here is just such a pool of bile. It’s a video detailing the conspiracy of war by the aptly named “Right Wing” and the defense industry. Priceless.

Now honestly. If people are mentally malleable (a.k.a play-dough-brained) enough to believe a word of this, I’d prefer they didn’t vote. They are the manifestation of the argument AGAINST democracy that was popular in the 17th and 18th centuries (a la Thomas Hobbes).

“The most part are too busy in getting food, and the rest too negligent to understand.”

In other words, the general public is too stupid to elect it’s own government. Hmmm.

I looked like a third grader trying to seal a jar of pickles using oven mitts dipped in petroleum jelly.

If you surf the web enough, you can find the most unusal statements.

Like here or here.

What a weekend.

Friday, after work, Tammy and I spent a great evening with Galyn and Kristin Black playing board games and eating some warm-from-the-oven cookies. Regrettably, we were having such a good time, we completely missed the presidential debate.

On Saturday, we did a little shopping in celebration of a surprise windfall. (I got my first profit sharing check from GIS2 last week. Let’s just say the economy around here is better than Mr. Kerry wants you to think.)

Later we picked up Sarah, one of our many “kids”. She is in our youth drama group and it was her 17th birthday. We went to Six Flags and enjoyed four hours of riding rollercoasters in the rain. It was a complete blast and ruined my singing voice for Sunday morning.

Sunday, we put on our first adult drama sketch (not skit, long story) for the church in both services. It was a real tear jerker about divorce and had just that effect in both services. (It seems weird to gage the success of your script by how many people you make cry.) The youth drama group, The Bottom Line, also performed two sketches in high school Sunday school, both comedies. Because God is so awesome and omnipotent, I was able to attend all four performances, even when a couple of them should have been performed simultaneously.

Right after church, we had a two hour session with the Master’s Players, a 5th, 6th, and 7th grade group that Tammy co-leads. They do sign-language, dance and mime to music. This workshop was a first in that we had one adult, and several high schoolers involved in miming the story of one of the songs (“If We Are the Body”, by Casting Crowns).

Then, an hour after that, we had the final audition for the church Christmas play. (Actually, the “play” is a set of scenes that appear between songs in the musical that the choir is doing. If you’ve gone to church much in your life, you know what I’m talking about.) I’m not the director of the play, but I am a co-director of the burgeoning adult drama group, so I had to be involved in the auditions. I’ve also been tasked with rewriting the script, since most dramas that come with published church musicals tend to be… well… not very interesting.

The auditions wrapped up just in time for evening church. Glenview only does evening services once a month and they usually involve communion and baptisms. Another of our “kids”, Shereen, was baptized. It was very emotional.

Tammy and I made it back home, Burger King in hand, at 8:15. We were both completely exhausted. Nothing like a good restful weekend to get you charged up for another week at the grind.
