An Ungodly Holy Weeek

Say what?
What in heaven's name is going on?
What ever is the matter with people?
Do I hear small murmers in crowds that call
"Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"

I surf around hunting for some wise words.
The Salty Vicar is still "Getting Wax out of the Carpet.
The Real Live Preacher speaks of Middle School as Lord of the Flies
in yesterday's "Daughters, Daddies, and Broken Hearts.

I logged into ITAR TASS hoping for some better news. Fat chance of that.
"Most Imported Toys In Russia Dangerous for Children-specialists..."
Why would China export toys with high levels of formaldehyde, phenol, mercury and noise?

Headlines on Drudge are dreary.
"Sick Rehnquist to Shun Schiavo?"
"Silent Pope Appears at Window After Health Scare."
"Human Corpses used as Crash Test Dummies"
"Life is crashing down on the Res at Red Lake High, Home of the Ogichidaakwag"

It is enough to make a person swear off the news.

Finally, a little good news if you want to kick going to church in the pants.
