About me: Twoflower is the optimistic-but-naive tourist. He often runs into danger, being certain that nothing bad will happen to him since he is not involved. He also believes in the fundamental goodness of human nature and that all problems can be resolved, if all parties show good will and cooperate.

And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Hundreds spontaneously gathered around the White House. Heard them singing the Star Spangled Banner earlier. Not bad for after 11pm on a Sunday night.

The republicans will assume it's a hoax if the body didn't come with a birth certificate.
Who needs a signature anyway?

I kept grumbling during the god bit.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

This is largely symbolic, but for those that lost loved ones, perhaps this will help them with closure.
If you use the bible as your moral compass, chances are you're lost.

When Jesus said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" he wasn't saying that people shouldn't be stoned. He was requesting the first pitch.

Yeah, I hoped he'd get through without it but that's clearly too much to ask. :nono:

Can you imagine what the public outcry would have been if he hadn't mentioned god?

I had a feeling something was up earlier today - military bases around the country including my office building upgraded their Force Protecion Condition. It'll probably still be in place in the morning. Ugh.

So now what does Zawahiri do? :ask:

A friend of mine is very nervous about terrorist attacks now, I am trying to calm her down.

the Prez was talking in the background but I was too busy checking my internetz. :shifty:

I heard the husband say "There two sentences of actual information out of all that" to which I replied " I would like pizza for dinner :food: ."
