This could be my all-time favorite song... I love it more and more with every year that passes.

Yeah, they fell through a bunny hole
Palestinians claim that Biblical hero Joseph was really a Muslim
(And this is one bunny hole I intend to stay far, far away from. 'Cause they're nuts!)

Update
So, as one might guess from my last post, I think my brain is broken.... either that, or in serious need of a reboot. In other words, I'm tired. Really, really tired.
My school wraps up tomorrow... and the lovely graders just kicked back 3 assignments for me to revise... did I mention that they sent back 3 the day before yesterday? No? Well, they did. Yea. So, I'm just trying to get it all redone (again....) and sent in because I really don't want to have to finish any of it when I return in March. (Oh, yeah.... taking Feb. off.)
My laptop still isn't back.... so I'm still stuck having to use my hub's computer..... Which wouldn't be so bad if I didn't get sick (as in morning sickness) at night... Each. And. Every. Night. Fun, huh? Not that I'm complaining. Oh, wait. Yes, I am.
Let's see... the Christmas decorations are still up, inside and out. Yeah, I'm about ready to say it's Christmas all year long at our house... Leadership meeting at church...
Our middle bedroom, which will be converted into a nursery, is a disaster area.... Seriously, I don't even look in there if I don't have to.
Back to work.
Thanks for stopping by.

Evil! Evil, I say!
Who is evil, you ask? Fry's Electronics. Trust me, DO NOT buy stuff from them. They will bend you over the table any way they can instead of dealing with warranty issues. And now, I swear to you, I think they are holding my laptop hostage.
I won't bore you with the LONG story of me trying to get my laptop fixed and them damaging it further and them refusing to fix the thing. Trust me, you would want to become one of those crazy people who stands outside of businesses with signs...
I HATE this company. Fire of a thousand suns, hate this company.

Observation
So, it's no big surprise that I love to watch history shows on tv. I'm a big history buff.
I also love watching crime shows... real ones. Here's something that I have noticed lately when I've watched shows about real-life criminals. Experts almost always try to go back into that person's life and try to find a "reason" for that particular person going nuts and committing truly evil acts. (Though, oddly enough, it never seems to occur to them that this dude or chick may just be evil... hmmm) Anyway, the favorite reason is because when the person was a child, their parent (most often a mother) was a "religious zealot"......
And what, you may be tempted to ask, is a "religious zealot" according to these experts? They read the Bible to their children every day.
Not kidding. That's where the explanation ends.
Just a little observation.

Just Weird...
Does this strike anyone else as a little... um... strange??
Israel bars Jews from moving lips in prayer on Temple Mount. Even slightest 'sign' of Jewish worship prohibited at Judaism's holiest site

What a Wonderful Example
Okay... so, your 6 year old daughter wants to win tickets to a Hannah Montana show.... as her mother, what do you do? Well, if you're this mother, you tell her to lie through her teeth.
What a great example. This woman told her daughter to write an essay about how her father died in Iraq this year. And then the woman gave the contest people false information. When they were caught, the mother had to come clean. The child's father had not died in Iraq, in fact, no one with the information she gave has died in Iraq. Thankfully, the contest people decided that lying was not going to get this child what she wanted... a lesson her mother apparently missed somewhere along the way. Another child is getting the tickets.
We wonder what's wrong with our society. Why we have children and young adults who have no personal sense of right and wrong... no moral compass. It's a disgrace to be sure, but when these children have no adult over them... showing them the right way, then what do we expect? If adults are not willing to govern themselves, then how do we expect our children to? When we teach our children, by our actions and words, that the ends always justify the means... then what? When we teach them that anything goes and that there is no clear right and wrong... what do we expect to happen?
I think we loose our credibility. I know we loose our moral authority. And, in the end, when we've lost our moral compass... our ability to know and do what is right and honorable... then what do we have left? What is there left to honor and cherish? Precious little, I think.
But if you look around, there are very few around who will take any kind of moral stand.... and those who do are labeled as bigots... or worse. When did this happen? When did the idea of universal truth go by the wayside? When did we sell our souls? When did we decide that someone's feelings were more important than their moral code of conduct?... I thought what we do defines us.... not what we happen to be feeling at any given moment.

Some Thoughts...
(Thanks, Mom.)
Number 9 Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 8 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 7 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.
Number 6 Some people are like a Slinky ... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.
Number 5 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Number 4 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Number 3 Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax cut saves you $0.30?
Number 2 In the '60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2008: We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America , but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

Peaceful Religion... yeah, right
Crowd Calls for the Death of Jailed Teacher
It is unbelievable to me that this poor woman was convicted! People want to get up in arms about injustice??? Well, here you go. Get up in arms about this. These people are some of the worst humanity has to offer and they have the gall to say that this woman incited hate and insulted their "prophet." What a crock! All they know it hate.
All because she let her classroom full of kids name their teddy bear, Mohammad.
This is beyond crazy. This is evil.
