Dear God - Please Stop Talking To George (OpEd Hartford Courant)

[WePurrsevere]

Dear God:

As I write this on Thursday, it's been raining in Connecticut for six straight days, so I'm broaching this somewhat cautiously, in the event that you're trying to tell us something.

What the heck - I'm a journalist and a professor and just an all-around curious kind of guy, so I gotta ask.

But do understand that in my asking, it's not like I'm questioning your judgment or your infinite wisdom or your right to hold a conversation with whomever you choose. But dear God, the word here on Earth is you have been holding one-on-one conversations with our president, George W. Bush. In fact, it's been said you and George are on a first-name basis.

So dear God, I gotta ask: Is it true? Have you been talking to George? If so, how is it that of all the people, of all the places in this whole wide world, you happened to pick George?

"Dear God" Continued here....

14. I love your profile.

It describes just how I feel. Cats. And a world full of stuff that I can only touch as it wisks by.

One more espresso and it's time for the Daily Show. And then we wait for verdicts... :)
