About Me

"But aren't you going to run and help her?" Alice asked.
"No use, no use!" said the King. "She runs so fearfully quick, you might as well try to catch a Bandersnatch!"
You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. It's staggering how you jump straight the hell into the heart of the matter. I'm goosebumps all over... By God, you inspire me. You inflame me, Bessie. Do you know what you've done? You've given the whole goddam issue a fresh, new, Biblical slant. I wrote four papers in college about the Crucifixion--five, really--and every one of them worried me half crazy because I thought something was missing. Now I know what it was. Now it's clear to me. I see Christ in an entirely different light. His unhealthy fantaticism. His rudeness to those nice, sane, conservative, tax-paying Pharisees. Oh, this is exciting! In your simple, straightforward, bigoted way, Bessie, you've sounded the missing keynote in the whole New Testament. Improper diet. Christ lived on cheeseburgers and Cokes.
When you go Rwanda Congo
Take me on a genocide tour
Take me on a truck to Darfur
Take me where you would go
