God's Angle on Black Jerseys

I love that woman!

The Angle of God, Sharron, is a woman of conviction!

As you know, God himself picked Sharron
to run against Harry Reid, out in Nevada.
Jesus helped her with the re-design of her web site.
Harry doesn't have a chance, unless there is more sin
in Sin City than God and his Angle have estimated.

Now we have learned that The Angle of God
once participated in a protest against Tonopah High School's
football team.  The Muckers--that's the football team--
whose win-loss record was something of an embarrassment,
thought, quite logically and scientifically, that changing
the colors of their jerseys might reverse their fortunes.
So away with the old red and white!  They chose black!

Evil is as evil looks!

Bill Roberts, writing for the Pahrump Valley Times--
that's the paper that covers the Muckers-- . . . .  (Sorry!)

We have to pause here for a moment and wonder
what the Tonopah High School cheers were like:
"Go, you Muckers!", or maybe. . . .  (No, I can't do it!)

Anyway, Bill Roberts reports that it wasn't just a matter
of the Muckers turning away from the old red and white,
but of mucking around with something sacrilegious,
something like cozying up to the devil, and all his works and ways.

"I cannot quote scripture as they did to justify their point but the gist of their argument was that black as a color was thoroughly evil, invoking the supernatural and especially the devil.  Whichever argument prevailed, school administrators caved in and prohibited the Muckers from wearing the black apparel."

The Angle of God won a seat on the school board, 
but says she cannot remember her part in warding off 
the evil of those ungodly and wicked black jerseys.

Tonopah High School authorities locked up those demonic jerseys,
and refused to compensate the Muckers for their sacreligious shirts.

In a time in our history when one is tempted to wonder
whether it is possible for political discourse and argument
to be more inane and stupid than some of the things said daily
on Fox News by Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck, and by
Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura and 40% of the Senate,
it is a comfort to know that God's Angle on things can be heard,
and not just heard, but standing up for godliness and
red-and-white jerseys and other things that aren't Black.

Friends-- My step-father of 35 years died this morning. His name was Conrad Royksund. He was 86 years old. He was born into poverty on a farm near Puyallup, WA. He was the first member of his family to attend college and earned a PhD from the University of Chicago. He paid his way through all of that by fishing in Alaska. He spent his professional career as a college professor. I met him when I was just 3 years old and don't actually have any memories of my life befor e he was in it. He was intimidatingly smart, funny as hell, and worked his ass off. He taught me to meet people with kindness and decency until I was certain they could not be trusted. He taught me to meet ideas with carving knives until I was certain they could. I will remember him as one of the bravest, most curious, and funniest people I have ever met. He left this world with a satisfied mind. We are so grateful. Dan Hubbard

The Sea is Rising

Let us just step back:  two hundred and fifty years ago, or so, the ships of England and Spain had drifted onto a whole new continent, as they saw it, from far north to a savagely cold south; pole to pole, as if there were such things. Millions of people already lived here, some of them still hunters and gatherers; some of them very wealthy, indeed!  Gold and silver stolen from the southern Americas funded Spanish and English dreams. There was land, lots of land, under starry skies above, rich land, and oil and coal and iron ore.  The whole western world learned how to build industries not on simple muscle power, but on steam and oil.  We farmed, too, of course.  All we needed was cheap labor--slave labor from Africa, mostly, so the ships came with slave labor.  Chinese labor built railroad beds where there had been rock cliffs. Europeans, long used to killing each other for good, religious reasons, brought their religious savagery with them. ...

That's all we want: fairness! Not more guns and more war! Fairness!

The five police officers who were killed in Dallas are certainly not the officers who killed innocent citizens. There is more than enough tragedy to go around. "What is happening to our country?", Mari asked this morning. I had no answer.  We do have an answer.  We do not want to say it. There are lots of answers, all of them pertinent. We are a racist society, like most human societies. We are a society in the midst of enormous changes-- social, political, economic--and we do not know what to do about it. We are divided unsustainably into absurdly rich, and an enormous number of crumbling middle class families, and poor. We have guns everywhere; military guns, guns just for killing people, cheap guns, heroes carrying guns into churches and supermarkets, idiots who think guns ought to be allowed in bars and schools and ball games and beauty parlors and political rallies. Our political process is almost useless. There are good people in Congress, but there...
