Is it that, or is he trolling the media to get their attention off of what he's really doing? Like the magician's distracting other hand?Rich wrote:Government by tweet, Oh Joy.

Sometimes, I just randomly think about how allegedly, Dubya tried to convince Chirac to invade Iraq with the US and UK because "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East. Biblical prophecies are being fulfilled. This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase His people’s enemies before a new age begins."

I could tell my brother and his wife this story and they'd believe every word because Christians are just Muslims who haven't strapped on the vest yet.Vonz90 wrote:.... you do realize that never happened right?Jericho941 wrote:Sometimes, I just randomly think about how allegedly, Dubya tried to convince Chirac to invade Iraq with the US and UK because "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East.

The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

re: Gog and Magog
Look further north. Like north to Russia.
Ezekiel 38-39 and in Revelation 20:7-8.
Gog: leader of army that attacks the land of Israel. Described as “of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal” (Ezekiel 38:2-3).
Rosh = Russia. Meshech and Tubal are believed by some to be predecessors of Moscow and Tubolsk.
Depending on your view of eschatology, Ezekiel's battle of Gog and Magog will occur in the tribulation period (in the peaceful first 3 1/2 years).

Trying to lose weight by cutting out wheat, potatoes, rice, sugar, etc. The first three are easy, because I never strongly needed them.
But life without dessert feels strangely pale and dialed back.
BTW, faking frozen yogurt by mixing Greek yogurt, splenda, and orange extract, then putting it in the freezer and stirring every 10 minutes was curiously disappointing.

Amazon's free shipping is increasingly worth less than you pay for it... Latest batch of stuff that has yet to ship, was ordered on the 17th. Good thing I don't need any of it soon. That said, there's no real advantage to paying extra for the standard shipping to get an order here faster. The last time I tried that, they still sat on the order for a week before shipping.
