And what the fuck is this doing in my USPS mail? Really...I mean...really? A company is actually...really? Someone dropped out of school around 4th grade and didn't learn how our little American bloodfest turned out. Great, and now I'm all angsty.

This picture is courtesy of Chris "Joe" Obertin. Now if he was just smart enough to have his own blog. Oh, and be sure to ask him where the "Joe" nickname came from...

Official statement: I fully support women's beach volleyball. But only because it provides a positive, strong, empowered image of women. Really.

I was listening to All Things Considered (NPR) on my way home tonight. That's course of habit when it's possible to leave work before 7:00 PM.

So tonight's story was about a gardener that involved, of course, Texass.

Anyway, the person responsible for this story made a comment that led me to the following questions:

1. Why are good but unexplainable events so commonly refered to as miracles?
2. What's the opposite of a miracle?
3. What's the difference between a miracle and "a random event with a positive outcome"?
4. Is it just easier to place the "miracle" label on things we can't explain?
5. Doesn't the Catholic church have a specific definition of a miracle? I believe for sainthood consideration, it's necessary to have been the source of a miracle. True?

P.S. If you answered number two with "George Bush", not only are you right, but you also get an eHug.

"...the people who are impressed by it are not very tech savvy. They just bought into the marketing hype."
