Just Swingin'

Really tasteless title for this blog, making fun of the destiny of Saddam Hussein. The people in his home town are furious and threatening more violence in Iraq (what else is new?) The Iranians are actually glad about his death sentence-considering the 8 year war with them he started, and assorted commentators are claiming that Bush ordered the Iraqis to sentence him to death to get votes for the Republicans in the Tuesday elections.
It had to happen some time--the BEARS finally lost a game this afternoon--getting pounded by the Dolphins 31-13! I will be grown up and accept that everybody loses an NFL game sometime, but the Bears have been on a roll after 25 years of being dishrags, and maybe next week they will Win again; we have a Super to win in February in Miami.
This seems to be a very slow moving ritual of typing a blog entry; I have been droopy all weekend. Nothing emotional hampering living this weekend, but I have a cold and a sore back and leg, and even with wonderful weather I have sagged around for 3 days, and have tomorrow off from work, and have a lot of cleaning up in the apartment I need to do and some money matters at the bank I need to take care of, so the stuff should get done before the day the snow actually begins falling and winter begins.
The election campaign has one day to go, and then we will be rid of the mean political ads trying to convince us that the Other Guy is the most evil creature ever born. I am going to vote a straight ticket for my party.
Some thoughts on the TV preacher (Haggard)who got caught with drugs and a boyfriend, and like Jimmy Swaggart confessed his sins to his followers. That is what you are supposed to do as a Christian, but if he had not been caught he would have just kept on sinning and trying to keep getting away with what he was doing. Whatever you are doing, stop it, and do not wait to get caught.
With that somewhat haughty and smug opinion, which I need to get rid of myself and with prayer, I am going going to put this blog to bed, and should have more to send into cyberspace next time I appear. Di di mau!
