The weather is worsening-too damp to paint, so I’m home early working on bids-

If Hillary looses the race
To be the anointed nominee
Will she try to steal it
Even though it won’t be free?

The atmosphere is so stygian
In certain parts of her camp
I’m sure her minions wish
Someone would light a lamp

How many of those millions
X42 supposedly earned
Will he pay for a third term
And seeing Obama get burned

thankfully HP didn't edge out the Bible. i don't know about some of those choices. Angels and Demons? I read it, i can't even recall what it was about. i know it's Dan Brown, i guess it was an ok read, but obv not memorable. and as far as Da Vinci Code, other than being anti-religion, i have read better books with plot twists and turns etc. than that. Gone with the Wind? nah.

“Angels and Demons” was a prequel to “Da Vinci Code” and involved a murdered Pope who had fathered a child and rogue Illuminati murdering Cardinals who were replacement Papal candidates.

I thought it was a good read but very anti-Catholic.

antiCatholic and even anti-organized religion. i read all of his books and pretty much found them all that way.

From Dan Brown's Website:

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? Yes. Interestingly, if you ask three people what it means to be Christian, you will get three different answers. Some feel being baptized is sufficient. Others feel you must accept the Bible as absolute historical fact. Still others require a belief that all those who do not accept Christ as their personal savior are doomed to hell. Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious--that is, that we are all trying to decipher life's big mysteries, and we're each following our own paths of enlightenment. I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.

Sounds like a Unitarian to me.
