I applaud the well-organized team who must have been working for weeks to craft meticulously the "acceptance speech" of our bishop-elect. I had no idea that he was fluent in Tagalog and Mandarin.
Ahh, spontaneity!

I'm a California native, born in San Diego. I was a Republican until the elder Bush joined forces with so-called Christians who would prefer that I be dead.
I registered as a Democrat in 2001.
I'm feeling better about our country thus evening.

Good things can come from the exchanges on this site: I'm at enmity with a dear friend. He insulted and cursed me by voice online, and now I think what I must do is write him in cursive, on paper, and try to make things be.
