i should be writing about gaza

I try to keep this blog fairly light, but sometimes there are things on my mind that are far from light and it's hard to know how to balance.  Once in a while, I need to say how disgusted with the world I am -- in particular right now:  both sides in the fighting in Gaza;  the U.S. House of Representatives; the "stand your ground" gun nuts; and the people in the supposed name of "Christianity" who hate Obama and want him dead.  You can fill in the blanks:  you know where I stand on each of those issues.
