Three Unconnected Things

Mostly, anyway.

1. Echidne of the Snakes examines further a seriously dishonest survey (different questions to the groups being surveyed?  I took statistics on Saturdays and barely passed, and I know better than that) which not surprisingly has a not-so-hidden agenda.  
2. Helen Philpot on religion and politics:

   Those fools can keep on mixing politics with religion. I’ll stick to mixing gin with tonic. Ten bucks says my way is better.

3. Tomorrow is National Night Out.  My block has a block party.  I make a dish, usually at the last minute, involving mushrooms, pasta, and a vegetable.  This year, I have already sautéed the mushrooms and measured out the pasta.  The vegetable is in the fridge.  Something else will have to delay me this year...
