Counting Sheep at Bedtime
So, I’m lying in bed last night reading before going to sleep. I still have the police scanner on.
I hear:
“Station 40, respond to the Turnpike mile marker xx.x northbound on an overturned vehicle with possible entrapment. Use caution for sheep running around on the highway.”
And suddenly my head pops up. They repeat the dispatch identically.

Morals and the Right Wing
I’ve been meaning to write a post on morals, and the right-wing’s attempt to control them since Bush’s re-election. About how the ultra-right “bring back Puritanism” folks feel that they have a mandate after the very close election to turn us all into Bible-thumpers.
However, Michele of A Small Victory said it better in her post “Check your Morals at my Door”.
Michele has it right. The basic difference between the rational left (not the loony left) and the rational right is this: The right wants to control your behavior, and the left doesn’t want anybody to control anybody’s behavior. That’s a simplification, but correct in basic premise.
I prefer the left.
