Talk Over Pizza
Over dinner tonight, my parents started discussing the Pope's remarks about Islam and how out of line it was. The reactions apparently only help prove the point (death threats again?), but then most people wouldn't take any of that well. You shouldn't kick the underdogs. Of course, it's dangerous to kick the ones on top, as well, but...
Dad said that most people at work agree, but there's the one Catholic who defends the Pope no matter what, just as there's the one Republican who defends Bush no matter what. Loyal to the title and all. I commented, "It's the hat that counts" (as opposed to the person holding the station). Mom commented on how Bush has one hat and no cattle, while the Pope has another hat and is slaughtering the cattle. Me, I spent the rest of the meal snickering to myself.
...I'm sure this is already a running joke somewhere. But whatever.
On another subject, there's a kid in my drawing class who is disgustingly full of himself. This wouldn't be so bad if he could draw even half as well as he seems to think he can. Arg. His ego needs to be taken down a few notches, but if he keeps not following the rules for the assignments, that shouldn't take too terribly long.
