Super Stupid


Last night during the Pennsylvania Democratic Debate, a young woman asked Barack Obama why he doesn't wear a flag pin on his lapel "as our soldiers and fire fighters do"? I was livid! With all the serious issues on the table at this moment, this silly woman has the gall to ask someone about the flag pin on their lapel? What is wrong with people?

But, you would be surprised how many people take stupid stuff like that serious. They decide who they're going to vote for based on "Who is more likely the kind of guy (or gal) I'd like to have a beer with." This is how George W. Bush got elected! Hell, there are people I like a lot who I have enjoyed a few beers with but, I wouldn't trust them to do a breakfast order for me, let alone run my country.

Then, there are the people who keep asking Chelsea Clinton how the Monica Lewinsky scandal might effect her mother's presidency." Why should it? That happened about ten years ago and it really effected HER FATHER'S PRESIDENCY. The people that ask this really don't care what her answer is... they think they're being smart... they also think they're being funny. What they really are is stupid. They are wasting the time of perhaps, someone with a legitimate question.

The Republicans have won elections with stupid non-issues... gay marriage, flag burning, saying the Pledge of Allegience in school, etc. They are counting on stupidity to get them over once again!

I agree cuz. And that's why I'm "bitter." George "Dubya" was able to steal a his 1st and 2nd terms of office because idiots thought he would have made an interesting drinking partner. Now we all suffer the consequences. Is it any wonder that the price of oil has skyrocketed with an "oilman" as president? Let the stupid ponder that!!




KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
