Do you ever feel like everything is spinning so fast that you’re stuck to the wall with no possibility of moving until it slows down? That’s me for the past week or so. So here are some fast random things that I wanted to say better but don’t want to forget or not blog while I’m stuck to the wall.
- Thank you, Shelley. I’m flattered.
- A new post on the political blog, which sucked up the last unstuck brain cell.
- Should it ever be too late to stop the execution of an quite-possibly innocent man? Evidently not, because he has received a 90-day stay of execution after a clemency hearing. Kudos to the State Board of Pardons and Paroles for stating that they would not allow an execution to proceed until its members are convinced that there is no doubt as to the guilt of the accused. The only thing better would be the abolition of the death penalty entirely.
- Oops! A closet racist ‘just slipped out‘…there are so many like this — thinking with this attitude every day, whether it ’slips out’ or not. It’s scarily pervasive. Will we ever overcome the need to view ourselves in terms of race, color or gender?
Enough for tonight. Here’s hoping for a little less ’sticky’ and a little more coherent thought.
