Jerry Falwell RIP.

Hey, he made a lot of Christians look like fools. He put a face on Christianity that liberals fear more than Islam. I’m sure Jesus is having a discussion with him about the nature of His Word.

But all that aside, he was a Christian. Maybe not a very good one, maybe a miserable one. The worst Christian on earth is better than the best muslim. Or Clinton, for that matter.

Where do they come from?

And why do I end up working with them?

In the kitchen at the office with someone today who said “We need a social medicine system- like Canada.” She said this with a straight face. She believed this bullshit.

What kind of an idiot do you have to be to put faith in these pretty little lies?

Art and artists

mrs D is showing off some of the artwork done by her daughter Wendy.

it’s good work. it shows talent and skill. And something else: the ability to do good work even at a young age and not be a goddamned drama queen about it.

Mr Alger and i have had this discussion before. The “tortured artist” types who invent their own drama so they can “suffer for their art” drive you nuts.

Sure, there were artists whose private lives were full of trouble and it affected their art- but it’s like Charlie Parker’s heroin addiction. Heroin wasn’t what made Charlie great. imitating Charlie by shooting heroin didn’t make you a great Jazz musician. And creating suffering for yourself doesn’t make you a great artist. It just makes you an asshole.

Good for you, Wendy. Nicely done.
