Wake Me When it’s Over

The Bush Bully Religious Pulpit:

“A lot of people in America see this as a confrontation between good and evil, including me,. There was a stark change between the culture of the ’50s and the ’60s — boom — and I think there’s change happening here. It seems to me that there’s a Third Awakening.”

Wake me when it’s over.

A Mobile in the Nursery on This Day

So this morning, after he hit the milk bottle for a few minutes, I held my newborn son up towards the ceiling in his nursery so he could smile and giggle his way through our morning ritual: I inhaled a deep breath and blew out towards his mobile that includes four colorful airplanes.

When I blow, they go. He watches them with innocent amazement. His face lights up.

And I always think, it was just a few years ago when we all looked upwards and felt the same way about planes flying above our heads.

Those times, except for the newborns, are long gone and have been for five years today.

Material Threat

Give her credit. A couple decades in and she can still drive a pretty strong public reaction.

Amsterdam prosecutors said Friday a 63-year-old priest has confessed to phoning in a fake bomb threat to a Madonna concert in the Dutch capital city last week.

Tough to Swallow

Does the sponsored match for the search for when do baby’s teeth come in seem a little off the mark?


Concentration is important!
