Some jottings about the news

.يا رب يسوع المسيح ابن اللّه الحيّ إرحمني أنا الخاطئ


Sunday, September 19, 2010  

I just got the news: Ford’s discontinuing the Crown Vic in 2011
Which partly explains why American police are switching to cool Dodge Chargers.

In a few years it’ll be the end of an era for drivers. No more white-taxicab panics/fake-outs when speeders et al. see that awful, familiar silhouette at a distance, more so recently after the cops wised up and put in low-profile light bars on the roof.

Psych!

I wonder what taxi companies will switch to.


Old-school.

what is ‘tolerant conservatism’?
Charity and discretion about people’s failings while at the same time not making excuses for those vices either.

Don’t ask, don’t tell, we give you your space and God forgives but we don’t teach that it’s not a sin.
