#1 Johnson said he's not fearful, but taking appropriate measures.

As should we all.

#6 I've been keeping an informal count of the number of incidents involving shooting. So far, I've found two. One against a man with a McCain-Palin sign in his yard. The other against a McCain-Pallin campaign bus in N. M. Whodda thunk? With all that right-wing wacko racist rage out there you'd think that they would pop off a few rounds from their vast right-wing armaments. Instead, the few incidents we have seem to come from peace-loving, gun-hating Lefties. Hard to figure.

#7 On the bright side, if The Messiah (TM) wins, there will be no more need for polls.....

#9 Those words were written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer just days before he was executed by the Nazis for his complicity in the plot to assassinate Hitler. Surrounded by evil of a terrifying degree, with genocide as his environment and torture as his companion in word dark, dark, dark and with despair and good reason for it, Dietrich Bonhoeffer could sing:

By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
and confidently waiting come what may,
we know that God is with us night and morning,
and never fails to greet us each new day.

Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented,
still evil days bring burdens hard to bear;
Oh, give our frightened souls the sure salvation
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.

And when this cup you give is filled to brimming
with bitter suffering, hard to understand,
we take it thankfully and without trembling,
out of so good and so beloved a hand.

Yet when again in this same world you give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your Sun,
we shall remember all the days we lived through,
and our whole life shall then be yours alone.
