Atheist: Thank [ ] for small favors
April 15, 2006

I READ with great interest that now Christians can eat a healthy diet by eating what Jesus would eat ('' Believers diet for soul and waistline," Spiritual Life, City & Region, April 8 ). I have somehow managed to do this for many years by reading up on secular nutrition.
But copying our historical leaders sounds clever. As an atheist, I decided to copy the ritual of nightly sleep promoted by the great intellectual and questioning minds of Mark Twain, Albert Einstein, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Bertrand Russell, and Emma Goldman. Following in their paths, I lie down and close my eyes every night and it seems to work wonders for my well-being. I am grateful to these great thinkers who have shown me the value of nightly rejuvenation.

Bushisms

The Bushisms just keep coming, thanks Dub. If he weren't the president, but instead the court jester his ratings would be through the roof.

I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense.—George W. Bush

Immigrants in America Gwynne Dyer

It's not that native-born American high-school drop-outs "won't do those jobs." They just won't do them for five or eight dollars an hour -- or at least, a lot of them won't. Many poor Americans simply have no choice, however, and end up working long hours in miserable jobs for half the money that an unskilled French or German worker would earn for doing the same work.
