A picture I took of a crappy tourist-trap store near Disney World Orlando. I’ll post newer pictures soon.
Ann Coulter has proposed her “final solution” for the Jewish question. She says it would be best if all the Jews in America converted to Christianity. Hmmm. Apparently she, like her fellow-thinker Adolph Hitler, perceived a problem where none exists: the Jewish Problem. I am unaware of any such problem in our country. To my way of thinking and observing, there is no difficulty being faced by our nation which is being caused by our Jewish population, or by conflicts between our Jewish and Christian populations. True, there are ugly anti-Semitic actions here and there, but these acts by cowardly nincompoops can hardly be blamed on the religion/culture they victimize. Anyway, Ms. Coulter, are these conversions to be “voluntary” or coerced? You probably forgot for a moment–while seeking the front pages for yourself–the Spanish experience with forced conversions to Christianity, and the methods used. I can only surmise from her position here that she styles herself a Christian, but I don’t know which particular species of Christianity she adheres to. Is there a branch which basically patterns itself after the Spanish Inquisition?
It seems that every time I don’t hear about this execrable pseudo-intellectual fascist for a while (meaning Ms. Coulter), she pops up with some views more vile than her previous “conservative” diatribes. Like most (maybe all) “celebrities”, the thing she apparently wants the most, cannot live without, is the limelight. I have never heard an utterance by her which would have the tendency to make the world a better, more peaceful, more tolerant place. I tried to read one of her books, but gave it up because of lack of worthwhile content (the blather about the “victimization” of poor Joe McCarthy just didn’t hold my attention).
On a brighter note, Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize.
I’m safely back in Florida, in the bosom of my family here, and settling in nicely. My little car got 50 miles per gallon driving from Peoria to Knoxville (where I visited with my sister), and 51.8 miles per gallon from Knoxville to Sanford. I’m getting, on the highway, better than double the mileage I got with my Element, thus halving my fuel bill for these long trips. The car is comfy, and has all the luxuries I desire (air conditioning, satellite radio, nav system). I have in the past pooh-pooed car GPS systems, but I have found it useful.
