Was yesterday a prelude to war in Madison County?

What is a fool? The late Dr. Frank Pollard recounted how Satan deceived Adam and Eve: "God doesn't want you to be as smart.  He doesn't want you to know how smart you really are.  You'll be like God is the oldest lie and it's got more people into more problems.  But a fool is someone who looks all too much to themselves and says because it's in my gut, because it's in my heart, because I believe it deeply, then it must be so. Proverbs says he who despises instruction is a fool.  When people look to all too much to themselves, they don't want to be instructed."  How apropos today.

 Looking for something good to watch? There is a real treat on Youtube: Something the Lord Made, starring Alan Rickman and Mos Def.  The movie tells the story of how the Great Depression cheated Thomas Vivien out of his chance at medical school.  Adept with his hands, he became the lab assistant for the legendary Dr. Alfred Blalock.  The two men combined to perform the first successful open heart operation on a blue baby. Mr. Thomas eventually earned his place on the wall at Johns Hopkins Hospital.  No f bombs, no sex scenes, no gore, just good ole fashioned story-telling.  Enjoy.

Political divisiveness is the name of the game this year. I suppose that’s always been the case in election years. Nevertheless, it’s still the economy, stupid (thanks James). Voters ask themselves whether they want change or whether they can endure one more term hoping nothing more stupid happens.
