And Extremely Not Racist!

And extremely missing the point of everything Bonhoeffer wrote: (No, not Mr. French; and you have to click through to find out what he’s talking about). Wait, Jesus doesn’t appear in the “Old Testament”? No, don’t go there. I was just starting to like you. Much better. There was a British sitcom (some time ago now, I realize), “Outnumbered,” about a family with young children. One episode, at a gift shop, the father tries to get Ben (his young son) to leave. Ben refuses to the point the father picks him up and carries him out, with Ben shouting: “My name’s not Ben! Stranger danger!” The people in the shop just look perplexed. Never thought I’d see it in real life. Appropriare. Not appropriate. Weirdly appropriate. "The enemy of my enemy...." but, yeah.

And the final word goes to the Junior Senator from Texas:
Touché.
