White Christians are now a minority of the U.S. population[Click] Considerable food for thought. But of course there are different opinions of who is Christian, and not everyone now white always was; Italians, for instance, were not white.
We might be hearing the death rattle of white supremacy, but it can still cause a great deal of trouble.
And I see that Hurricane Jose has kicked up to Category 4. Looks like it is tracking north of Irma, maybe heading toward North Carolina and Virginia? Or further north? Or ???
But I have to tell you, as one who has followed weather blogs for years, including the tropical weather blog that is all about hurricanes, the fact that Irma went from Cat 4 back up to Cat 5 WHILE the eye is grating the very tall mountains of Cuba is just plain freaking scary and weird! Mountains usually shred hurricanes! HOW could one get stronger over them??!! WOW!!
Dumb as a box of rocks; dumb as a bag of hair; not the brightest crayon in the box; not the sharpest tool in the shed; one card short of a full deck, one floor short of the penthouse. More, anyone?
puddle--I meant so say earlier that "boxofrocks stupid" is a new-to-me expression.

It's going to be blown out to sea along with Irma when a front comes across the US. No worries there at least.

DeleteWait, wait...
DeleteIt turns to that where Irma made brief landfall on Cuba it is a very low-lying, marshy area of the coast. Okay.

ReplyDeleteMaybe you're just a nicer person than I am Alan. . . .
