Steve Driehaus

Ok listen up...

I don't care what side of the health care brouhaha you fall on. For it, against it, indifferent, it doesn't matter. But you are flat out WRONG if you are advocating violence or making threats against Steve Driehaus and his family in any way, shape or form.

YOU ARE WRONG. It's that simple. You are wrong.

I read this morning where a blog published Steve Driehaus's home address and encouraged people to show up there - now his wife, Denise, is afraid to let their kids out of the house; she fears for their safety. Can you blame her? In the just the past few days, there have been death threats toward members of congress, windows broken, and obscene phone calls to Driehaus' office. The Cincinnati Democratic party had a brick thrown through its window!

Another blog, this one a Catholic voice, is calling for Driehaus to be excommunicated from the Catholic church. John Boehner called out Driehaus, saying he "may be a dead man" and "can’t go home to the west side of Cincinnati because the Catholics will run him out of town." Seriously? That's a fantastic idea... let's show God's love by kicking out someone who we don't agree with. That's exactly what Jesus would have done. With all the other problems the Catholic church is facing, Driehaus is the least of their issues.

I don't have an answer to all of this, but I know it's not violence or kicking a man and his family out of their church. And Steve, if you get wind of this post, I know you'd be welcomed at my church, Vineyard Westside, the church where Love Wins.

CVS!

We haven't done one of these in a while, so...

Carol and I headed out to CVS to get a few things. We live in an area seemingly surrounded by CVS and Walgreens, there are 3 Walgreens and 2 CVS' within 2 miles of us. It's like Starbucks, only with more adult diapers.

This one is at the intersection of Harrison and Bridgetown, right on the cusp of Cheviot and Green Township.

Right away, Carol spotted something for my co-worker Rick.



I'm sure he'll appreciate it...

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?



Do you think these work with my eyes?



Carol offered to attach them with this. Then said it would work well on my mouth as well.



The first place I look for gummy worms is always with the contact solutions. It just makes sense.



My, what a big eye I have.



We knew we wanted this, but we couldn't remember why.



Note to kids: I am a trained professional, do not try this at home.



Her face says it all. These things are disgusting, unless you happen to like chalk with a vague fruit flavor.



We weren't quite sure why this little guy was hanging out here, but he looks happy.



Apparently, the heart on here means "Eat this if you want your heart to stop." Since it has about 18 quadrillion grams of fat in one serving.



What? I was keeping Carol from getting at them. Yeah, that's what I was doing.



BEEF JERKY TIME!



I think she likes this...





And thus concludes our trip to CVS. We found a few good deals, and had a little fun. Next up, one of the nearby dollar stores.
