Tuesday Randomness

Mammy, where's my drama queen crown?
So anyway, folks at the Civil War forum apparently do not appreciate my opinion that watching Gone with the Wind was like "waking up next to a badger ugly tramp and finding you were cuffed to her not at the wrist - where you might be able to gnaw your hand off and escape - but at the waist."  That's ok, I'm sure they're the experts.

I thought it pretty funny that our pastor preached on Romans 13 on Sunday morning, then that night at church we celebrated our successful rebellion against George III.

I rather liked Doomfinger's summary of Good Hater: A thesis without the boring bits, submitted in complete fulfillment of awesome. I just hope he's not trying to spare my feelings.

I may actually have a 'surprise' book or three out before "Penhallow's 'Indian Wars' for Modern Readers" is published in September.  It seems that a trio of my old "Tales of the Red Brethren" fantasy tales just might beat that to Kindle.  I'm not doing it, but I've been warned by a very sexy lady editor not to even think about publishing those. So with my birthday coming up, that might be my present.

When I was in Duluth a few months ago, I surreptitiously poured about 4" of rain in my (precipitation-obsessive) father's rain gauge.  He was totally excited, until I sent him a picture of me desecrating his backyard altar to Tlaloc.Then he laughed at the pwnage, but I could tell he was bummed. Suddenly Duluth got 9" of rain, flooded like hell, and he's all like, "Wow, that's too much water." First time since 1972 that he's had too much water. I'm sure I'm going to turn into him someday, not that it's a bad thing, all things considered.

"God as my witness, I will never be hungry again..if I have to lie, cheat or kill.."

And the modern feminist seeks to fill thier empty soul in much the same manner and determintation, using these very same means.

I was going to post about something similar. I used to believe all that stuff, now I just wonder how people can believe our soldiers are fighting for our freedoms when they are not occupying Washington...

The worst thing that was said was our soldiers were fighting for our rights to learn in public school.

Another thing that bothers me is seeing the American flag on the right side of the cross and the Christian flag on the left. Bah.

The pastor actually did a pretty good job distinguishing Paul's absolutes from the realities of governance (Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye), which is why I'm glad he's the pastor. But I don't know how most people manage to take Paul absolutely and literally here while noting that Pilate was on Caesar's payroll.
