U.S. Rep. Allen West, a Florida Republican, has never been any great fan of President Barack Obama, but took to Facebook today to answer the question of what, if anything, he could praise about the president. His answer included a complaint that thanks to rising gas prices, it now costs $70 to fill up his 2008 Hummer H3. Is it really a good idea to use your Hummer to argue gas prices are too high?




Hm.  I admit I do find it a bit difficult to feel sorry for Mr. Rep. West.

A thought I appreciated from listening to Keith's funeral.

Mary said in Luke 1 - "He that is mighty hath done to me great things."  There are many thousands of people praying, sometimes many times a day, that God would do great things for them.  But how often are we praying that he would do great things /to/ us?

My scrabble app is clearly not North Dakotan.  It refuses to admit 'OOFDA' is a word!  The nerve.

"One of the main problems with communication is the illusion that it has taken place."

I think that goes along pretty well with "I know that you believe you understood what you think I said, but I'm pretty sure that what you heard was not what I meant."
