We were looking for greener grass, and we suffered the consequences.
But now the Democrats are in charge!
And they're going to help us out of this tight spot, right?
Right???

Hi, I'm from the Government and I'm here...
Sure, the last four years of George W had it's down side, and financially, it wasn't the greatest time.
We were looking for greener grass, and we suffered the consequences.
But now the Democrats are in charge!
And they're going to help us out of this tight spot, right?

Sound familiar?
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. - The Declaration of Independence
(Hat tip to Sissy Willis on twitter)
Actually, while re-reading the Declaration today, I'm finding that the many of the crazy changes that Obama has been trying to bring about since taking office can be found in mirror form within the Declaration.
If I were as paranoid as I feel right now, I'd almost say that his playbook is to simply to repeal every item the founding fathers set out to free us from.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent
But that's just crazy talk . . . right?

Education is cool!
I learned a new word today from SarahK today. I'm pretty sure she's a girl, but different somehow. Kinda grown up an' stuff. I know there's a word for that, but it fails me at the moment. Guess that will be my word for tomorrow. Anyway she's pretty nice for someone that's online. A rare quality nowadays.
In the mean time, my new word:
"Slattern"
In the mean time, my new word:
"Slattern"
slat·tern
Pronunciation: \ˈsla-tərn\
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from German schlottern to hang loosely, slouch; akin to Dutch slodderen to hang loosely, slodder slut
Date: circa 1639
: an untidy slovenly woman; also : slut, prostitute
It doesn't sound as naughty as those other words, or leave a nasty taste in my mouth after saying it. I now vow this to use in place of those others...
"Get those slatterns off the street! There's a politician coming to town!"
"Don't drive down that street at night where the kids can see - the slatterns come out and just stand there."
"Nancy Pelosi wanted to be a slattern when she grew up, but wasn't qualified. She then turned to her second choice..."
"Bill Clinton's in town! Hide the slatterns!"
Yep, I can see this word becoming a regular part of my vocabulary.
Thanks, SarahK.

Things I tweeted, random thoughts, or maybe just fever dreams. I get those confused...
"You can change your Levi's, but you can't change your genes." - me
"Why do you think they call it dope?" Because the name markos was already taken.
If you're a Christian, you don't have to like me - you gotta love me. Like it or not, I'm family...

Lest I forget...
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God."
That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice.
Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse.
You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.
But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher.
He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

Sunday...
Hebr 11:13 (KJS) These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
