Life in the Banana Patch

A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.

"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell

Announcing the winners of the Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton award for Empathy and Compassion! This week's winners are:

THE BUFFALO BILLS!

In an increasingly rare example of compassion for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, the Buffalo Bills allowed the New Orleans Saints to win, 19-7. This puts the Saints one step closer to their Super Bowl Victory in Super Bowl XL.

The other NFL teams need to take a lesson from the Bills, and Let the Saints Win!

Congratulations to the Bills for putting Justice ahead of profits! And for demonstrating to the Bush Administration what true Patriotism is!
