No Harry Gods

Sharron, The Angle of God, who told her supporters that God is behind her candidacy which, while it may not provide much cash, certainly has a certain caché to it, now says that Barack Obama and Harry Reid (whose Senate seat she wants), and Nancy Pelosi are violating the First Commandment by supporting entitlement programs.  They--get this straight--are trying to make our government God! 

She said, "We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for (sic) our government." 

I wish she were right.  We could fire police and firemen, and the Army and Navy, too, and quit our jobs, I guess, if God were on the job, providing protection and provisions and daily bread.  As you know, the Angle of God is opposed to abortion, even in cases of rape and incest, even when God is not on the job providing protection and provisions and daily bread.

The Angle has a brand new communications director, and he got right to work!  Mr. Jarrod Agen sent a clarifying statement to a reporter that seemed to make Harry Reid a Dark Overlord, something out of The Kingdom of Mordor. 

"Only the supreme arrogance of Senator Reid would believe that he has a divine right to rule over mere mortals by ramming through Obamacare, billions in reckless spending, and yes, buying cocaine for monkeys," Agen said. "The fact is, Reid has acted like he's all-powerful and accountable to no one. People are frustrated because, like Sharron, they understand Washington has become a giant, unseen, omnipotent force whose presence is felt in all our lives whether we like it or not."  (Quoted from Sam Stein)

Later the Angle Campaign told the reporter that the statement was facetious. 

It isn't facetious to say God is your political angel (I like that!  God is Angle's angel!), but is is facetious to say Harry Reid is an omnipotent force.  Well, that makes sense.  If Harry were omnipotent, he would be breaking the First Commandment.  (Thou shalt have no Harry gods before me!)

Now the only question is, how many lunatics are there in Nevada?  Can they pull this one off?

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.  Even when all they wanted to do w

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
