I guess we aren’t going back to Kansas. A pair of the ruby slippers Judy Garland wore in "Wizard of Oz" were stolen last weekend from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minn. The shoes were one of four pairs used in the movie and were insured for $1 Million. It is amazing, isn’t it, how much movies affect some people. I cannot imagine wanting to buy the shoes. I cannot imagine wanting to steal the shoes. Then again, I cannot imagine having a Judy Garland museum.

I probably would not go to the museum to see the shoes, except to humor the Little Woman. Please don’t tell her there is a Judy Garland Museum in Minnesota.

2. Homosexuality is a sin against God.
3. Abortion is murder.
4. Islam is wicked, violent, and not of the same God.
5. "President Clinton has the charisma, personality and communication skills, but an evangelist has to have the call of God, which President Clinton obviously does not have, and my father understands that."
