a G. K Chesterton quote

"I never in my life said anything merely because I thought it funny; though, of course, I have had ordinary human vain-glory, and may have thought it funny because I had said it. It is one thing to describe an interview with a gorgon or a griffin, a creature who does not exist. It is another thing to discover that the rhinoceros does exist and then take pleasure in the fact that he looks as if he didn't."

from Chapter One-Introduction in Defence of Everything Else
from his book Orthodoxy.

Sporatic publishing can be debilitating to communication

So I am publishing that my wife and I are currently looking for a new fellowship of Christian believers.  Thank you for your prayers!

In the Cain thing on harassment

someone is not hearing.  Mostly what Herman Cain has said and intimated and intended to be understood is that while and as  long as people are vague and gemneral in their accusations he is not recollective of the obtuse inuendos to which they are referring. 

So, first we have Cain not hearing in defense.  A defense built in the snake bite and back biting  world of Big Business, and secondly the press is not hearing in the rabid world of political press paranoia of missing the scoop and the selective hearing that engenders, or perhaps just in downright mean press politics.

It is very possible, even probable that Cain the innocent would not have on his cuff a well crafted response to these allegations for the very reason it seems a non issue.  That he would consider the payment of a severance for termination of employment as just that and not a payoff for silence to an un-offended wannabe victim seems to fall right in line with the apparent facts of the case as we have tried to haear them so far...
