“Until the dead are buried they change somewhat in appearance each day. The color change in Caucasian races is from white to yellow, to yellow-green, to black. If left long enough in the heat the flesh comes to resemble coal-tar, especially where it has been broken or torn, and it has quite a visible tarlike iridescence. The dead grow larger each day until sometimes they become quite too big for their uniforms, filling these until they seem blown tight enough to burst. The individual members may increase in girth to an unbelievable extent and faces fill as taut and globular as balloons.”

I wrote instead 'Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President,' in 1999, and I've splitting rails with Mr. Lincoln ever since. If there's a twelve-step process for this somewhere, I haven't found it yet.”

When I am old and grey
Almost on my way to the grave
As the smile begins to fade
And I find myself alone
Not necessarily lonely
For God will be with me
Will not fear to face tomorrow
Because I know that today
And every other day
My Lord still reigns
I believe in His power
Which transforms lives
Yes, I will hold on
No matter what, I will not let go
Until the end of time”

We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed”

And the Left has removed God and dress codes from schools - with socially disastrous results.”
