random thought of the moment:
The state — or, to make matters more concrete, the government — consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can’t get, and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time it is made good by looting ‘A’ to satisfy ‘B’. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advanced auction on stolen goods.

The Catholic Blog Awards voting is over and apparently I'm neither the most bizarre nor the most creative blogger in St.. Blog's. 
Oh well, there's alway's next year. Maybe this year's content will earn me a 2007 nomination in a more substantial category. Anyhow, thank you to all who voted for me. Leave a comment so I know who you are. 
Be sure to visit all the other nominees. You'll make their day.

I haven't been here in ages — LOVE the make-over! Seriously, Funky, I never read your blog on a regular basis before because it was so hard on the eyes. This new look is a treat. Well done!
