Blair's Xmas 2007 E-letter (Part Two)
"When the Western Standard magazine printed the Danish cartoons of Mohammed two years ago, I was the publisher. It was the proudest moment of my public life. I would do it again today. In fact, I did do it again today." - Ezra Levant, defending himself in Canadian court, against charges abusing the human rights of Muslims.
"When psychologists say 'most people' they usually mean 'most of the two dozen sophomores who filled out a questionnaire for beer money.'" - Steven Pinker from The Moral Instinct (Which I highly recommend that you read)
Our story so far: Blair has outsourced chunks of her Xmas 2007 E-letter to her family. Nothing you ever witnessed on Reading Rainbow can prepare for what follows...
Steve - In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches us to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread." I think I finally get why He said that. God wants us to depend on Him moment-by-moment. Between our ongoing financial foibles and Lisa not signing another book contract, we have had to trust Him on this one. Honestly, I would much rather live independently. In 2007, I've learned that eating multiple smaller meals with Jesus is healthier and more enjoyable than expecting a feast to sustain our tomorrows.
Listen up you broke-ass bitches, 'cuz I'm only going to say this once: STOP RELYING ON A INVISABLE MAN TO PAY YOUR BILLS. Fuck, if I counted on the Tooth Fairy to pay my goddamn cable bill, I'd never get to watch JDMA
Tucker - I've been putting off writing this for days now and I guess I'm just going to have to do this. It might look strange if there was a paragraph from my sisters but none from me. So what's new this year? I've been in and out of the same relationship for about a year now but I guess that just comes with the territory. Still working out how to really walk with God and not just stumble along bumping into things and constantly falling down. Still playing music in my spare time. As a matter of fact if anyone owns a Fender Jazzmaster and feels the need to give it to me. Actually, I was talking to God last night and he told me to tell you to give it to me.
Wow, you've been in the same relationship for about a year now . So, what's his name? I don't have a Fender Jazzmaster, but I think my friend Joe might have a spare one lying around someplace. Of course, you'd need to sand off the swastika and beer and blood stains.
Well, that's all from the "men" in Blair's life. Next time we'll hear from Haven and Clancy. And then we'll hug and weep openly.
