I Love, I Hate, I Want


  • I love watching Rachel Maddow for two reasons: 1) I love her hair and 2) I love watching Pat Buchanan. Pat and my Dad were drinking buddies when Dad worked on 12th/Tucker and Pat worked at the Globe Democrat. Dad died the year before Pat B ran for president and Wayne Gretszy came to play for the Blues hockey team.

  • I hate what they’ve done to the crawl on CNN. It’s no longer a news summary, now it’s a string of viewer comments. I keep waiting for “H8tr: CNN U R dum. CNN: NO U R.” to crawl across the screen.

    Wilma and Ken have a Jesus sign in their yard.

  • I want to do this so much:

    1. I haven’t got anything to say about this (except …! – that’s so bizarre). I just wanted to get in first.

    2. Just sitting here with my cup of tea before I start thinking about tonight’s dinner. You, now, you should surely be in bed.

    3. Ok, if you want to play it that way – it’s a bbq. Out on the deck. In the sun. With bare arms and legs.

    4. BD – So weird. It’s 30 degrees here tonight. Frost is on the pumpkins. Okay, now I’m freaked. You must have Easter in the fall, then. That’s just wrong. Okay, signing off. Now it is time for bed. Drums have stopped.

    5. It’s like they want Jesus to visit their pumpkin patch and grade it for sincerity.You know, there’s a quote in the Gospels about not praying in public or making public display of faith. I’ll have to look it up. Then you can put it as a sign in your yard next time they come over. Or give it to them as a gift…

    6. Remember when the interstates here were littered with huge billboards that looked like this? I was so used to them they didn’t even register anymore. Until my 20-something niece came to visit and every time she saw one shouted “JESUS!”

    7. Ahhah — found it!Matthew 6:6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. (KJV)

    8. That’s so odd. What is that supposed to be, exactly? A request for proposals for lawn maintenance? An advertisement of goods for sale (“Mary Magdalene on sale! 40% off! John the Baptist – bodies only!”)? I want to see that movie with Luke Wilson where Jesus appears on the side of his building. Something like, Henry Martin was here. Something like.When I lived in Orlando, there was a huge to-do about the Blessed Virgin appearing in the glass windows of a building. People gathered and prayed and then some guy washed the windows.

    9. 3 – Yuk. Where’s your MOSES! sign?Sherri – I see you found it!Amy in StL – My 18-yo niece makes the angelic choir chord. (“Laaaaaa”)Sherri – Excellent. They would respond with the one about not hiding your light under a bushel.Kristie – I want to go to GNO with her.Becs – It’s to prove they are PRO-Jesus. In case the Four Horsemen come clopping up to the door. Or more probably in case someone sees their Muslim daughter and half-Pakistani grandchildren come out of the door.
