Under God
Today’s Washington birthday:
Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona).
“… maybe it was McCain’s role as ‘movie-teller’ that he cherishes most– the man who used to narrate the plots of films to his fellow PoWs in the compound. ‘I must have told a hundred movies,’ says McCain. ‘Of course I don’t know a hundred movies– I made them up.’”

this God of yours?

It’s funny Lieutenant Dan
said that, ’cause right then,
God showed up.
One year ago today:
Part I
Part II
