walk on the wild side…

This kind of thing is a crazy, unfortunate mishmash of shoddy policing and conflicting cultural expectations. I can imagine, all too clearly, the confusion and dawning horror the blog’s author must’ve experienced as he was being dragged down to the police station. It sucks.
It also reminds me of another hilarious incident of mayhem involving The […]

“…Women won’t have babies - because they’re not eco friendly”
Abortion to save the environmenr? Talk about selfish! Doesn’t she know there are starving children in Irela…er, I mean - Africa?

So I’m writing back and forth with a friend from high-school on Facebook. We haven’t spoken in years and I’ve just dropped the Mini-Van Bomb.
He wonders if I’ve considered chrome spinners for my mini-van. Have I considered it? Does the pope wear a funny hat?

At the table…

We sit down together. Heads bow while Father Im says grace, then the meal begins.
