An everyday kind of miracle

I was out by the San Francisco bay taking photos the other day. There wasn't much to take photos of, I've been to the same place many times, though there had been a nice low flying turkey vulture.

I spotted a blue heron by one of the ponds. This in itself was unusual, I've never seen a blue heron at that pond before, so I maneuvered to get a better shot. As I walked around to get a better shot I mentioned to the Lord--I try and pray a bit when I'm wandering around taking photos--that it would be great if the heron would catch a big fish because I'd never managed to get a photo of a bird with a big fish.

Lo and behold just when I got fairly close to the bird it darted its head underwater and came up with a big fish. To me this is one of the examples of how Christ is really here for us every second of every day. Here's the picture.

The liberals are in a tizzy because a high priced lawyer who has previously used false information to trash a republican before an election says that Meg Whitman, running for the governor of California, knowingly employed an illegal alien.

Any idiot can tell that the charge is bogus. Why? Well Whitman paid this person $48k/year. Who knowingly hires an illegal and then pays them as much as you'd pay a legal worker.

Interestingly enough Whitman did fire the person when Whitman discovered that the person had used a false social security number.

The Dems are saying that they have a smoking gun. A doc from the government saying there is some question about the workers social security number. On that document Whitmans husband apparently wrote a note asking the worker to clear up the confusion. In reality what that shows is that Mr. Whitman was confused and naturally assumed that the person who they'd been employing was not a liar. So in the Dems world assuming people you know and who've been working for you aren't liars is evil. Of course Dems object to checking the papers of people stopped by the police to see if they're citizens.

Once again we see that the only sin liberals recognize is hypocrisy. If Jerry Brown was found to be employing an illegal alien there would have been no uproar since he's a fan of illegals. Similarly none of the Dems who are attacking Whitman was upset when Collin Powell said he employes illegals.
