Shadowy Figures and the Cookies they Sell

In Durango, CO Taylor Ostergaard and Lindsey Jo Zellitti, 17 and 18 years old, left homemade cookies at the house of Wanita Renea Young (49).

Ms. Young couldn’t sleep all night, and went to the hospital the next day with an upset stomach.

The girls had to pay her 900 bucks.

What has this world come to? I guess they didn’t have any business scaring the woman half do death, but the woman said she saw ’shadowy figures’ and, I guess cookies excluded, she thought they were terrorists or folks out to malign her somehow…

Point being — it’s sad that the media (and the government) has worked everybody up into a frenzy, ‘keep on the lookout’ — you never know when anthrax might be in those cookies.

The poor woman had a terrible night — I know what that’s like — but really, aren’t we all afraid right now — we lefties are afraid of the righties, and the righties are afraid of the terr’rists, and they think that all the lefties are terr’rists too. And the media has us all mixed up as to who’s who.

Check out Jim Wallis’ new book, God’s Politics — which talks about all of this brilliantly, and honestly. (Not about the cookies or the two poor girls who had to pay the woman’s hospital bills, though, not to mention the cost of the cookies). Here is a link to the first chapter on the NY Times website — if you don’t have access to it — you can suscribe for free…
