Sarah and I were at the grocery store, where she demanded a cookie (they have free cookies for kids; she wanted two) and had other tasty free samples. On the way out, I passed the Salvation Army bell-ringer -- the vanguard of a vast armada of invaders from Salvatia, apparently. I pulled over and got out to give a donation, and Sarah asked me what he was doing. "He's helping the poor, honey. People who don't have money and need food." She thought a moment and said, "I no like help the poor."

Our daughter's already got compassion fatigue -- she's going to be a Republican! Oh boy, she'll be on the winning team, and she will be able to look at what's happening in our country and express her delight in comfort. Lucky, lucky child.

Hooray.
