Arrived in Colorado safely, despite screaming children and icy roads.
McCain’s InTrade numbers are at 89; Huck is at 11. Looks like my endorsement will not be enough to keep Beavis down in South Carolina.
Richard Dutcher read my blog – welcome, sir! – posted a comment, and was offended, primarily by one of the anonymous comments to my preceding post. For the record, I do not know and have never met Mr. Dutcher, and I’m always surprised – and even a little embarrassed – when something like this happens to remind me that I don’t write this blog in a vacuum. (I once wrote about a high school classmate who is now a convicted murderer and was somewhat surprised when I received an e-mail from said classmate almost immediately thereafter. It seems people are capable of Googling their own names. Who would have thought?)
Upon rereading it, I realize that my previous post was snarkier than it should have been and used Mr. Dutcher solely as an object lesson to illustrate a principle: i.e. artistic talent does not exempt anyone from church service. I wrote this without ample consideration for Mr. Dutcher as a person. I am in no position to judge Mr. Dutcher’s character, and I apologize for treating him like an abstraction rather than a human being. I wish him and his family well.
In my own defense, I have bowel issues.
That is all for today.
P.S. My comment about the convicted murderer was not supposed to be a reflection on Richard Dutcher. Richard Dutcher, to the best of my knowledge, is not a murderer, convicted or otherwise. In fact, all indications are that he’s a law-abiding citizen with a cool beard. He may or may not have some infractions on his driving record, but that’s between him and his insurance provider.
