Everyone should read and assimilate. For the ill informed - this should be enlightening! For the willfully ignorant unwashed anti science anti vaxxers- when you fall ill and go to the hospitals- thoughts and prayers should be enough to cure you. @SamHarrisOrg @SarahMerrittMD

God woke up with an unholy hangover.

He was rubbing His temples as one of His angels knocked gently on the door.

“Enter if you must!” God shouted.

"Sorry to disturb You, Sir," the angel said hesitantly. "But I wanted to congratulate you on yesterday's creations. For the most part, they were spectacular!"

"What…?" God mumbled blearily. The angel held up a clipboard.

"This majestic creature you named ferret! It's as if a rodent became a dog!" The angel manifested one for the Lord to behold. "So cute!”

God groaned.

The angel disintegrated the ferret and hastily flipped the page.

"And this one was graced with the name 'kangaroo,” said the angel. “Anf look here! You put a little pocket on its belly so it could hold its baby on the outside!"

God grunted and snatched the clipboard, flipping several pages before stopping suddenly, frozen in shock.

“And what in My name do We have here...?"

The angel glanced over his shoulder. "Oh, um...."

He shuffled uncomfortably. "This was just before You passed out, and we were worried You'd be upset about its creation. But You seemed to like it! You were very adamant about naming it--"

"I WASN'T NAMING IT!" God bellowed in disgust. "I saw a duck fucking a beaver and I told it to stop!!"

The angel's eyes widened. "OHH, that makes much more sense now," he said, glancing at the clipboard. "All You kept shouting was “Pulloutapuss! Pulloutapuss!”

Carl was always really cranky at work in the morning.
"Carl, you should really do something about your bad mood,” said his boss as Carl entered office with
a long face once again.

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it, boss,” Carl replied.

"You know how I prevent this?" said his boss, "I make sure to have sex with my wife every morning before I go to work. It's a great way to start off the day. Perhaps you should try this yourself."

The next day when Carl got to the office he was he very upbeat.

"Good day Carl, I see you're doing much better. Did you take my advice?" asked his boss.

"Sure did, boss! It really helped," answered Carl. "By the way, I didn't know you lived in such a nice place!"

At a state dinner in Moscow dozens of high ranking officials died after eating cream of mushroom soup.

Generals started falling to the floor left and right.

The investigation was quick: the official cause was mushroom poisoning.

Members of the press were invited to the scene of the tragedy.

"As you can see by the foaming and throat scratching it is clear that some poisonous mushrooms accidentally made it into the soup,” said an official.

One brave reporter pointed out that two of the generals seemed to have gunshot wounds to the head.

"What happened here?"
he asked.

The official replied,
“These two wouldn't eat their soup.”

white noise

i wake to the clang of metal on metal
as ploughshares are beaten into swords
my alarm clocks sulks
a superfluous knickknack on the bedside table

behind my eyes i see gleaming sparks
soaring to the sky
with every kiss of iron on steel

the noise never stops though it's dampened
by the usual commerce that fuels
the business of living such as it is
in this brandnew incarnation of the everyday

the voices of those with nothing to say
speak the loudest
great waves drowning the best humanity has to offer

with no reason to rise i lie in a cold hard bed
in a cold hard room
in a cold hard life
and whisper words to the dead

who answer in soft voices
never stilled by the shouting of those
who wish to forget

Contemplating the Lighthouse

Standing in moonlight under a starry sky
I saw the lighthouse, that symbol of safety, 
beacon of hope, shining its message
to the sleeping world.
But my thoughts turned to neither; 
I have abandoned expectations of rescue.

Instead, Virginia, I thought of you, 
and your knife-edged balance
of legacy and the moment.
You split them as opposing forces, 
each embodied, separate, into single spheres.
But my heart struggles with both, 
and I waver, indecisive, 
between despair at what I shall leave
and living daily the life I have not built but,
by the workings of fate, inherited.

I spend days buried in my work,
oblivious to the ordinary joys and tasks
of the everyday;
then, craving immersion in that
which occupies the majority,
throw myself into the here and now,
trying to salvage some small gaiety
from the meager table set before me.
And then I remember your conclusion
and am comforted.
For if one believes that art and words never die, 
I shall live on, for a time at least, 
before I am buried in the dust of history.
And while that comfort does not erase
the dichotomy between thinking and feeling, 
I will not lash myself with guilt
for time spent creating what I must,
nor regret my small indulgences
in the company I perforce must keep.

Brava Bishop Budde for speaking truth to power and upholding your beliefs. You have nothing to apologize for, you are living your beliefs. Not many do that these days.

Jimmy and Billy were off at the fishing hole talking of this and that when Jimmy said, "My grampa died yesterday."

"Wow, sorry, man," said Billy. "What happened?"

"He hit his thumb with a hammer,” answered Jimmy.

“Jimmy, nobody dies from something like that!" Billy said disgustedly.

"Oh, I know" said Jimmy. "But he wouldn't stop screaming and cussing so Granny shot him."
