Well a friend wrote the other day to suggest that we’ll know the true “Rapture” is coming when pigs have wings. I wrote back and said that since I live in Iowa–though only for a short remaining time–I can attest that I recently saw Newt Gingrich fly
over my neighborhood. My friend replied that this vision, as it were, might really have been Tim Pawlenty. And I thought: that’s a great title for a children’s book! “Pawlenty Pig”! Super hero!
Meantime, wouldn’t it be great if Pawlenty said that he doesn’t believe in the Rapture? I mean, let’s suppose we are electing people to manage our nation’s future. Shouldn’t the electorate demand a “rapture test”?
Even a winged pig could get behind that.

I haven’t been blogging much lately. I’m trying to sell my house. This means that I’ve been attempting the near impossible art of making it appear as though no one lives in the house. I feel like a Mafioso. Always picking up my mattress and running out the back door.

I’m off now to speak on Iowa Public Radio about what it was like to be on The Oprah Winfrey Show. See my post on that topic here: Here
