Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi is going to Syria, with Keith Ellison!

You've gotta read it to believe it!

I also note this morning that the female reporter in Tehran is wearing a hijab while giving on-the-air updates.

The world is spinning out of control.

Unbelievable! Quite unbelievable! To go to Syria is bad enough; but to go there with Keith Ellison, the Muslim Congressman who obviously hasn't taken on a Muslim name for political reasons, takes the biscuit!

The world is spinning out of control.

The world is indeed spinning out of control; and it's very disturbing to watch it happening, too.

All day long--despite giving piano lessons and going to the ballet--I've been thinking about these two stories (the one you posted and the one for which I left a link).

Damned depressing! I'm in a down mood.

It is damned depressing! No wonder you feel that way. Any sane person would. Add this to all that depressing stuff: I have just learned that a cathedral in the north of England is going to employ a Muslimah for interfaith purposes! Beat that!
