Claudia found this article about 'church and state' and controversy at churches.


And if you don't get Consumer Reports they have a website and send out email updates. The latest email had a good intro line -
The scariest fright this Halloween is probably your real life. The economic crisis hurts everyone -- lost homes, lost jobs, lost retirement, lost faith.


Then my daughter sent me this link to a David Sedaris article in the New Yorker about undecided voters.

"I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. 'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks. 'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?' To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."


(OK 4)
And I found this quote in an Anne Quindlen article in Newsweek.

"Obama was unshakable, almost preternaturally so, considering that his opponent interrupted him repeatedly, smirked at his answers and grimaced so oddly that at times he seemed deranged."

I've been deranged for a long time, and I resent the implied comparison to Senator McCain. And I WILL take the chicken, thank you very much.

Last quote is priceless.

I picked the chicken long before the flight attendant arrived.

P.S. You can spell my name Ckaudia any time you want, Mick. I know what you meant.
