Oh Great! Not one or the other – but BOTH!

Gag!

This just in: We will not have Obama OR Clinton. . . we are going to get Obama AND Clinton!

I wonder what my brother thinks about all of this. He’s in the Army (20 yr veteran) and had told me that he absolutely dreaded the thought of a Clinton presidency.

I wonder if Hill would have taken Barry into her administration if she had won. . .

Thanks a lot, Rush! Operation Chaos didn’t work exactly as planned.

But, I guess we’re thankful she hasn’t been appointed to the Supreme Court. That would have been a never-ending nightmare.

Update: Funniest (snort!) Comment about the Madam Secretary:

Being president is about control, and tell me who ever controlled Bill or Hillary Clinton. They can’t control each other. … I think it’s because Warren Buffett and Paul Volcker and others have convinced Obama, ‘You’re going to have to focus like a laser on the economy. That’s issue Number One. And give Hillary and Bill the world.’ … I think people are fantasizing or smoking something if they think Joe Biden’s going to call Hillary Clinton up and say, ‘This is what we want you to do.’

Ha-lel-lew-yah! That means somefing’s pwetty!

Twice a week I take one of my children for tutoring. Usually we all have to go and that means I have to either hope the Littles take a nap or else come up with something creative to occupy their time.

This past week, after taking the obligatory pit stop for the littlest Little, I decided to just walk on the sidewalk outside of the tutoring building with said Little and her sister.

It is now cold and wet in our neck of NC and the growing season is nearly done. But someone had taken two huge planters and potted numerous pansies and, to my astonishment, some curly leaf parsley. You don’t usually find commercially-minded folks planting herbs, unless they’re in the plant business. But curly leaf parsley makes a wonderfully bright green foil to flowers like pansies. (And here I thought common sense had already died!)

As we admired the different variations of a favorite flower, my 3 year old shouted, “Ha-lel-lew-yah!” in her excitement over the flowers. It was hard not to burst out laughing at her eager wide eyes, rounded mouth and cheeks flushed with pleasure at the sweet faces of those pansies.

“Ha-lel-lew-yah! That means somefing’s pwetty!”

I have no idea where she picked up her now favorite word of exclamation. But I agree with her. Pansies are worthy of a “Ha-lel-lew-yah!”

Fasten Your Seatbelts

Wow. It has been only 10 days since The One has been elected and already, our America is changing faster than maybe ever in its history. You’d better fasten your seatbelts as it looks like it is not coming to a complete and safe stop anytime soon:

Bashing Back at Church.

“The Education of Young Catherine Vogt.”

“Thought police are now political donation police.”

Requiring national service to “give people a sense of what it means to be an American.“

We can be thankful that on the financial front, at least, some congressmen are starting to figure out that giving Sec. Hank Paulson carte blanche to “fix” our finances as he sees fit was not a good idea. (snort!)

In the Meloff family, we just wonder where all of this will lead. We’ve read too much of ancient, medieval, renaissance and current history to believe that anything good will come.

Save Christ, Himself.
