Egregious to be sure. At the same time, there are those who hold quite sincerely that belief that the universe was designed or created by an outside intelligence is not only repugnant in itself but shows the one holding said belief to be stupid, superstitious and incapable of logical thought.

Yes, you were right about the typographical error, listener; it came from rewriting and not checking the sentence. The Inner Tube is very slow here now, and I figured you all would understand.

Well, I hope that Pence declaring the war with the Islamic State OVER three hours AFTER 4 Americans were killed by IS will help make him either suspect or utterly lame. But I definitely want DT O.U.T.. We can deal with P when we cross that bridge. I imagine Mueller may have a surprise or two for him as well.

ReplyDeleteI'm imagining that "having" was intended as "being." Otherwise your dear wife may have a question or two. 😄
DeleteOhhhhh myyyyyy! I just read the article.
Delete"In 2015, Grove courted controversy after she was quoted suggesting that a withering drought was God’s punishment for abortion."
There are just so many layers of things wrong with that view...!

DeleteWell, I hear you, Cat. Only, I wouldn't refer to the Creator as "outside." ;-)
