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

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...

On Watching a Formerly Sane Man Descend into Abject Religion

If you read the previous post, you know the apparatus, pictured here, is a torture machine. There are ten of them in our house, purportedly to circulate air to dry out all the problems caused by a water leak. We live in Tucson:  it has not rained in Tucson since the Gadsden Purchase. A mudslide the size of the one in Washington State could course through our neighborhood and it would be bone-dry and stone-hard before it quit moving. I suspect it is the CIA, and probably the Border Patrol! We are, after all, only about a hundred miles from the border. I fully expect a large suburban assault vehicle to pull up to the house, and for lots of people with UPPER CASE LETTERS on their shirts to interrogate us, and I will have to explain that all the drugs I use come from Walgreens and Total Wine. But it won't work.  Our minds are going. We are getting short with each other and, if they promise to turn off the fans, I will confess to having invented the Arab...
