So I’m back.
A number of you have written e-mails ranging from concerned to curious to outright hostile and, it must be said, somewhat paranoid, inquiring as to my whereabouts. Some of you have engaged in rampant, irresponsible speculation. Hey, I appreciate the concern, but honestly.
No cloak and dagger stuff to report, I’m afraid. I’ve been heavily involved in a project that takes up 99.9% of my time. I’d say that the remaining .1% of my day is spent sleeping off the demands of the day, but I’d be lying. No, what remains of my day is spent fretting. But now that the project is underway I’ve finally had the chance to gather my thoughts and return to blogging, which I’ve missed.
So sorry for my absence, and I promise that next time I’ll bring a note.
As a reward to all of you who’ve written, either clamoring for my return or cursing my name, I bring an offering: One of the stupidest conversations ever recorded by humans. Or could it be a punishment? Whatever. Enjoy! More later, I promise.
Ever wonder what dinner-table conversation between Larry King and wife No. 7, country singer Shawn Southwick-King, is like? At the premiere of Walk the Line, they discussed intelligent design with a reporter. Larry: I know the world is more than 5,000 years old. I mean, that’s ridiculous. Shawn: Don’t say ridiculous! Larry: Honey, they’ve found bones 3 million years old. It’s insane. Shawn: But don’t call other people’s beliefs ridiculous. Larry: I’m gonna hit her. How’s this? The thought that the world is only 5,000 years old is hard to conceive. Shawn: There you go! Larry: Now, could there have been intelligent design? Could be. Then we could also say, who designed the intelligent designer? Shawn: All good questions, Larry, but impossible— Larry: —to answer? I’m in the answer business! Shawn: All right, put all of the pieces of a clock into a bag, shake it, and expect it to come out working. That’s the big-bang theory. Larry: But if I shook it up, and it worked, that would not be intelligent, that would be random. Shawn: Yeah . . . Larry: So if intelligent design designed this, who designed the designer? Shawn: A designer! Larry: I’m saving my arguments for the Supreme Court.
