Oh, the irony

From Reason Magazine's Daily Brickbat for November 8th:

The Ayatollah Mohsen Mujtahed Shabestari, who is supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's personal representative to Iran's Azerbaijan province, is upset with three U.S. religious figures: Jerry Falwell, who has called the prophet Mohammed "a terrorist"; Pat Robertson, who claims Islam is a religion of violence seeking to "dominate and destroy"; and Franklin Graham, the son of televangelist Billy Graham, who says Islam is "a very evil and wicked religion." Shabestari is seeking to disprove these false notions by calling for the three to be killed.
I'm not a big fan of any of these three, but the irony of the call to have them killed by the "religion of peace" struck me.

We're supposed to get over a foot of snow over the next 48 hours. It should make for some fun sledding conditions for the kids this weekend.

I got a small chuckle the other day. Michelle sat down on the couch with a cup of coffee to take a small break. She was able to rest the mug on her pregnancy extended abdomen. It was cute!

Scott,
Mom & I both enjoyed the top-less dancers at the bar! Enjoy all of the snow this weekend with the kids.
Dad
