Mad Bomber Caught? Interesting development -- my daughter and I had just left the Olympic Square and were at the subway station when the bomb went off -- we were fine but it was nerve-racking for my wife watching on TV waiting for us to get home. I want to see the proof on this. I hope they got the right guy.
Dear Diary. Two quick notes: (1) Last night Debbie and I helped our oldest daughter and her friends plant lawn flamingos at a neighbor boy's house. (2) Spent most of the day yesterday fixing the book shelves that inexplicably fell off the wall -- still not sure how that happened.

Don't Censor Me. It's late spring and time for the censors to arise again -- you know Barry Lynn and the thugs at the ACLU. Today it's the government telling a senior she has to delete "God" from her graduation solo.

I'm an old geezer, so let me go with an old song (1994) -- I wouldn't do hers, I'd do one from Audio A:
You can take God out of my school
you can make me listen to you
You can take God out of the pledge
but you can't take God out of my head
Listen to me closely, lend me your ear
the substance of my statemnet lets you know I'm sincere
Government officials, shapers of the land
I've to to tell you something you need to understand

You can't take God away from me
you can take my life, my land, my liberty
Lock me up, I'll still be free
'cause you can't take God from me

You can take God out of the law
you can make me listen to ya'll
You can take God out of the start
but you can't take God out of my heart

Listen to me closely, lend me your ear
the substance of my statemnet lets you know I'm sincere
Government officials, shapers of the land
I've to to tell you something you need to understand

You can't take God away from me
you can take my life, my land, my liberty
Lock me up, I'll still be free
'cause you can't take God from me

You can't take God, you can't take God away
You can't take God, you can't take God away
You can't take God, you can't take God away
You can't take God, you can't take God away

You can't take God away from me
you can take my life, my land, my liberty
Lock me up, I'll still be free
'cause you can't take God from me

Chortle. It's not nice, but it is funny to think if Kyoto Protocol passes, Enron lives and prospers. By opposing Kyoto, Bush dooms Enron. Story here.
