From Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale

People disappear when they die. Their voices, their laughter, the warmth of their breath. Their flesh. Eventually their bones. All living mempry of them ceases. This is both dreadful and natural. Yet for some there is an exception to this annihilation. For in the books they write they continut to exist. We can rediscover them. Their humour, their tone of voice, their moods. Through the written word they can anger you or make you happy. They can comfort you. They can perplex you. They can alter you. All this, even though they are dead. Like flies in amber, like corpses frozen in ice, that which according to the laws of nature should pass away is, by the miracle of ink on paper, preserved. It is a kind of magic.

"Dude, just play the gig...never get invoved in politics..."

That's a quote from the great "Muppet Treasure Island".
Right after the drummer guy says this, Monster says "Politics! Politics!"

Just thought you should know.

I have been noticing an increase in the number of politically minded blog posts lately. Perhaps that is because of the coming Presidential elections, but who am I to say...

Here are two of my favorite posts:

From my brother-in-law, Quinn Kuzmich

and from a guy in my grade and Sunday school class, Daniel Woolston (listen to the show, I think Daniel did a great job.. and that's not just because I know him...)

I couldn't see the Wolston one, but your brother-in-law's was powerful. Thanks for sharing.
