The 11th Commandment is, "Thou shalt not blog."
P.J. O'Rourke has his own update of the 7 Deadly Sins.
3. Youth. Talk about worshiping false gods; why would anyone pray--or pay!--for youthfulness? The young are spotty, sweaty, chowder-headed, and woefully lacking in wisdom, experience, or control over anything, especially themselves. Yet we bear witness to the eternally babyish baby boom. Men in their sixties are on Harleys and snowboards and basketball courts, from which they will proceed to damnation by way of the emergency room. The women go to and fro in the earth, mutton dressed as lamb, with liposuction well-applied to tummy, butt, and brain. And they all come to Mass, when at all, in shorts, T-shirts, and shower flip-flops.
Very funny. Very profound. Except for the blog part. And, heaven forbid it would be changed to "Thou shall not blog at work." Like Luther in the loo, I do some of my best thinking while on 'the clock.'
