Someone really liked my unconventional methods for interrogation/torture for terrorists. Just read the "Slightly cruel but certainly unusual post." Only for terrorists mind you, not for Yankees or Red Sox fans-though that is tempting. And he suggested I run for president; I assumed of the U.S., since I'm a citizen here. Have been since birth.Well, apparently word has spread quickly and now it looks like it might not be a simple McCain vs. Obama race. Now it's a three-way race with "Henderson" smack dab in the middle of it. A news channel 3 out of New York has already run a special report. Click on the picture below to check it out. I've got work to do for sure.

Geoff,
You really shouldn't waste your time trying to run for president. It will only be a waste of money.

OT. . . Love the new header pic with baby and laptop. . .
Thanks,
I found it apropos since I was blogging that day with my baby in my lap.
Blogging with baby. . . *grin* Reminds me of what Martin Luther wrote:
"Now observe that when that clever harlot, our natural reason… , takes a look at married life, she turns up her nose and says, “Alas, must I rock the baby, wash its diapers, make its bed, smell its stench, stay up nights with it, take care of it when it cries, heal its rashes and sores… ?
What then does Christian faith say to this?
It opens its eyes, looks upon all these insignificant, distasteful, and despised duties in the Spirit, and is aware that they are all adorned with divine approval as with the costliest gold and jewels.
It says, O God, because I am certain that thou hast created me as a man and hast from my body begotten this child, I also know for a certainty that it meets with thy perfect pleasure.
I confess to thee that I am not worthy to rock the little babe or wash its diapers, or to be entrusted with the care of the child and its mother. How is it that I, without any merit, have come to this distinction of being certain that I am serving thy creature and thy most precious will?
O how gladly will I do so, though the duties should be even more insignificant and despised. Neither frost nor heat, neither drudgery nor labor, will distress or dissuade me, for I am certain that it is thus pleasing in thy sight…
God, with all his angels and creatures is smiling–not because the father is washing diapers, but because he is doing so in Christian faith.
–Martin Luther
Whoah. Great quote. Thanks.
