The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States' Capital this Christmas season.
This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol.
A search for a Virgin continues.
There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.

Think on this
"America is not perfect," says Dr Singh, a refugee from Burma, from whence he fled with his family because "there are no human rights in Myanmar, no human rights."
"But to my mind," he continues with genuine feeling, "it [America] is the best place, bar none, the best place to live in the world."

And Why Not?
I wonder if sales of pepper spray have jumped in the last week.
Everybody's using it of late. Campus police, Black Friday shoppers, off-duty policemen.
Maybe I need to get some.

Sickened
The Penn State mess breaks a person's heart. It is truly sickening to know there are people like that. No need to go into detail here. Details are everywhere just now. Turn on your TV or radio or internet.
Three scriptures have come to mind, all saying the same thing, and they echo what has been circulating in my brain.
Romans 3:10, Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53:1-3. In essence, there is none that doeth good, none righteous; no, not one.
That's how I'm feeling, looking at college football today, wondering, worrying. Thinking of my boys and my girls and their boys and girls, with their sweetness and innocence. Yes, I pray for a shelter over all of them.

Proud of him? Not
Sarkozy and Obama in private conversation about Israel's Netanyahu:
Sarkozy: I cannot bear Netanyahu. He's a liar.
Obama: You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you.
Only, turns out the mikes were on.
Beyond awkward, beyond unwise, beyond stupid.
These are our world's leaders.

Libya
Why must we see pictures of Ghaddafi's death face on every online news source? One site offered a slide show of 31 shots of it.
Heavens.
And Secretary Clinton's assurance to those folks over there a few days ago (before we knew of Gadhafi's death) that "We're on your side" scares the heck out of me.
How can we know that? What is their side? Democracy maybe? Along with what?
How do you spell Qadhafi?
