signs of impending idiocracy

There was a VERY large group of people congregated in my neighborhood this morning, which piqued my interest, so I wandered by to see if I could figure out what was going on.

I thought maybe it would be some kind of protest, or neighborhood solidarity march. But no... it was this...


DOG BLESSING DAY.
Seriously? This is what we're spending our time on? Making sure Fido's sins are absolved? No, it's probably not that. It's probably something that makes PERFECT sense, like casting the demons out of Sir Vincent Wobblylegs (we just call him Wobbles for short).

This is the important work being done by the church in my neighborhood.
Yes, unemployment is currently at 8.7% in Chicago, and nearby, people line up around the block for the food pantry at the American Indian Center. But, lets get real. None of us are going to do anything about that.
This is a WAY better use of our time.
