Dammit, God's gonna blow stuff up again....
In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson predicted Tuesday that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in "mass killing" late in 2007.
"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network. "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."
If God is going to the trouble of talking to Pat Robertson, you'd think He could at least specify nuclear or not....

Well, now I want a pistachio cupcake.
I want a Red Velvet cupcake.
My mom made a pretty good Red Velvet cake for Christmas Eve dinner. The 10-y.o. nephew was rather suspicious of it at first, but was convinced to try it after Mom told him it was chocolate cake colored red, and he loved it after he tasted it.
If you can't find it, Lee, it's fine. I should probably get a subscription to CI one of these days.
Hmm. I could hit the Gourmet Cupcake Bakery on the way home from work with a small detour...
I want that espresso/caramel one.
Are those the cupcakes you brought to Denver, Brenda? They were really very good.
I love red velvet cake. But dang, that's a lot of food coloring.
Oh, and speaking about shoes! Who was it that gave the link to Ian's shoelace site, was it tommyrot? Changed my life! Turns out I've been tying my shoes wrong my whole life (knot and bow in the same direction, resultin in a flop-eared bow that comes untied easily). I have adopted the double helix lacing style which is much quicker and easier to tie tightly and loosen, and Ian's shoe tying method which is so fast and stays tied firmly all day long! For years I have been wearing slip on shoes (that don't fit as well) because I hate the saga of shoe-tying so much. And it turns out there was a really simple solution.
So thanks!
