    The idea that there is always someone worse off leads to the logical conclusion that somewhere in the world there is a person who is in worse shape than everybody else. Some guy who has almost six billion people doing better than he is.

    In honor of the Halloween season:

    Candy Corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.

    Life giveth and life taketh away.

    I was so happy that NBC scheduled Medium for Wednesday night starting 11/15 only to find out they had schedule some crappy game show for 7 pm on Friday night, bumping out Crossing Jordan, which is now up in the air. At least there is a crossover episode with Las Vegas 11/10.

    In a Sunday, December 17, 2006, Holiday Worship Guide of the Capital Times newspaper an article appeared called "Has Christmas been hijacked?" Notice the comment by the JW contingency.

    JEHOVAH ABOVE ALL

    Of course, not all Christian dominations celebrate Christmas. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the holiday actually has pagan roots and is historically inaccurate.

    "Because of the connection that Christmas has with false religion, those who truly wish to please God avoid celebration as well as other pagan-rooted holidays," says Duane Reed, a congregatoin elder in the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on Buckeye Road. Jehovah's Witnesses' "ultimate goal is to avoid contamination of their precious relationship with the Most High God, whom they solemnly serve, Jehovah."

    Where is Jesus in this statement? Do you think people reading it will think that Christ has a place in the JWs life?
