The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

A lack of verbosity

I'm not feeling very chatty today. Just stuff going on, and with the holiday from work I've gotten a late start.

I missed Gene Robinson's prayer yesterday, but I've read the text, and I've seen the youtube. I found some comments on a episcopal website denigrating the prayer as depressing. Myself I thought it was rather Catholic. They were all i thought of while Robinson was talking. It seemed a glass half empty prayer, and though I'm sure Robinson meant well, and that most people didn't notice, he came off as not very hopeful.

Myself I'm reserving judgement about our new President until he actually does something and hopefully before it's too late. I can't see that anyone really gets how dire our economic circumstances are.

George Bush and Co through their audacious and selfish behaviors have weakened this country to the point that it is more vulnerable than ever before. And I hope the history books see that. If this thing goes to hell I hope that it is noted that he alone is responsible.

Mr. Bush, on this the eve of your long awaited departure from office may I offer you this heartfelt wish for your future.

Rot.
