Susan notes: someone sent me this "news release from God" several years ago by email. It was originally published on September 28, 2001, on The Onion, in the aftermath of the events of 9/11.

More than a decade has passed and we don't seem to have made much progress in abiding by God's will for peace. In fact, things seem to have gotten worse, making this message even more timely than ever...

I like to put crazy avatars like this one my Twitter and Facebook accounts. It reminds me not to take myself seriously. Thanks to the Daily Om for this reminder...

Money can buy:

a house, but not a home;
a clock, but not time;
a bed, but not sleep...
a book, but not knowledge;
a position, but not respect;
a doctor’s appointment, but not good health;
blood, but not life;

sex, but not love....

When I stand up for
myself and my beliefs,
they call me a
bitch.

When I stand up for
those I love,
they call me a
bitch.
