Three years ago, some friends of mine where having a discussion about Las Vegas in which I learned that each of these individuals, who I would consider generally above the grain in terms of intelligence, have fallen for the gamblers fallacy.

I sent this sloppily penned email to the NRSC and to John Cornyn just now.  Total idiots. You folks just don’t get it, do you?

Guess you heard that 68% of the youth vote went to Obama. My granddaughter called this morning to tell me she was one of them. I replied with this e-mail:

Dear Susan,

I have 4 extra tickets for the Robbie Knievel (son of Evel Knievel)event at the Philips Arena in Atlanta if anybody wants them. He’s going to try to jump 1000 Obama supporters with a bulldozer. It should be a good time.

Awesome!! We complain about the cross we bear but don’t realize it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we cannot. Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine, after the rain…. Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall; But God’s always ready, to answer [...]
