Starting the New Year with a Good Deed

[attackfish]

To all my coreligionists out there, L’shana tova!  I hope the new year brings with it joy and blessings, and many helpings of fried chicken livers

Can you tell I’ve been exiled from Whole Foods?  Since last year, just being in the same store with the pumpkins and the bakery cooking pumpkin pies did horrible things to me, I’m staying away until they’re gone.  But they sell fried chicken livers for the High Holy Days, and I want some.

Anyway, the Quakers have a petition in support of the Islamic Cultural Center near Ground Zero.  I have just signed it, and I urge anyone who stands for religious freedom and justice and kindness for all human beings, whatever their beliefs to do the same.

I was reduced to tears at one meeting. Cordoba Project will be two blocks from me, and I'm looking forward to having my pool, library and theatre, darn it. (Kidding)

But seriously, stop ruining my neighborhood, people. I'm afraid to walk home on Saturday.

I'm so far away from the action. But the Quran burnings are going to happen in my home state, and it makes me want to kill something. *shakes head* What is going on with this country?

I keep wanting to write something that says "to all you non-Americans out there, I hope you don't think all Americans are this idiotic and bigoted" but I haven't been able to phrase anything, either.

Dear world: Please understand, many of us are watching in horrified despair. We're sorry.

That's perfect.

BTW, I'm having trouble accessing the petition link, could you tell me the http address?
