The Morning Rant

"Well, the Kamala Harris campaign for president is now officially kaput, and I know we're all brokenhearted about that. So Tucker Carlson had some liberal commentator on his show last night and he was sked, why did she fail?

"His answer may surprise you. Actually, no, it won't.

"He said it was because of racism.

"Yeah, not because Harris' campaign was a disorganized sh*tshow from day 1. Not because she's a miserable POS who treated her staff like dirt. Not because Tulsi Gabbard basically DESTROYED her in one of the early debates. Or, it couldn't have been because she was just a crappy candidate? No, it because evil racists refused to vote for the black lady.

"The liberal guy spun a big sob story about people not wanting to vote for blacks and how the Republicans have hardly any black candidates running for office, and managed to somehow associate Trump with all of it, like he caused it all, and I'm thinking, wait, this is a *Democratic* primary campaign, right? So the question he should be asking is not, why is America so racist, but rather, why are *Democrats* so racist?

"It's not a GOP election. It's a *Democratic* election. So the Democrats have a real problem: how to motivate their pasty white, racist base to vote for their diverse candidates. Because the Democratic candidates leading the pack are (a) very, very rich, and (b) very, very white. Kind of ironic, actually. Witness the party of diversity."

So your guessing tasks today are ranked, kind of like I do with the Saturday chess problems, in the following order:

1. Beginner - identify the guy. (I think he is fairly well-known and thus easily recognizable)
2. Intermediate - identify the gal. (This one's a bit tougher. She might be in the I've-seen-her-before-but-I-don't-know-her-name category)
3. The connection - I expect this one is going to quite challenging.

Swipe your mouse for a hint for #3: Both were in the same movie -- for sufficiently large values of 'same'.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com), as I will be filling in for Fenelon Spoke on the prayer list, for the next 1-2 months while Fenelon recuperates. If you could include the words “prayer request” in the subject of the email, that will help me distinguish it from spam emails.

Update: Good news! Fenelon Spoke will be back and handling the prayer requests after this week. Thank you for allowing me to fill in for her and entrusting me with your prayer requests!

If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, please feel free to copy and paste it and email it to me.

Updates and new requests:

11/5 - Pooky and Pooky’s girl have had a major setback in the process to become adoptive parents. Pooky’s former therapist refused to sign the recommendation form, and now their social worker wants them to withdraw from the program. They ask for prayers as they try to figure out how to move forward.

11/18 - ibguy requests prayers for healing for Jenna, the daughter of a friend and colleague, a wonderful young mother with a very serious case of MS.

11/18 - ibguy also requests prayers for healing and a return to childhood for Elena, the grand-niece of a co-worker. Elena is a 2 ½ year old girl with serious cancer/tumor, who has been in a hospital most of her life.

This morning, he lost his father in a house fire and his two dogs. About 9 years ago while he was in high school, he lost his mother (my wife’s sister) to a lengthy battle with MS.
