How I know things are going poorly, part umpteen

"By the end of the trip, [Karen] Hughes had so annoyed a group of Saudi women, they barked at her."

That's how.

Talking in Tongues

When I was in high school, there was a guy one grade below me named Crosby. He was the cool kid of his class, easy sunny California disposition, great hair, soccer player. His senior year he became a born-again, and word filtered through the high school that at church he would often go into trances and talk in tongues. Through college he became more devout, living with seven other born-again men, who wouldn't let unmarried females into their house for fear of being tempted by them. The last time I saw him, he seemed otherworldly, and would often simply pause in the middle of a sentence to say "I hear you Jesus." He and his housemates got into a spirited discussion of how awesome it was going to be to fight on the side of the angels during the apocalypse. Yeah, he freaked me out, and when I watched this video I thought of him.
