When I want to know where the GOP's head is at, I shudder first and then do a quick look at DrudgeReport.com.

Right now, when every news outlet is laser focused on the debacle in DC, the debt ceiling and the House impasse unfolding right now, what does Drudge say "above the fold"?

"FOR SALE: HAIR, BREAST MILK, EGGS"

For reals. That's really what he's got up as the lead. A story about how us womenfolk are chopping off our hair for money. Um, what???

The other lead is a nose-thumb at Arianna Huffington "only" getting $21M from the HuffPo Sale. 'Cause that's critical, time sensitive information to all the people hurting from the shutdown.

Way over on the right is one link about Fitch potentially downgrading US credit, but that's immediately followed by a link to Palin running her mouth about impeaching Obama. Also.

Earlier today FoxNews.com went with tried-and-true GOP pablum by putting that dead horse ACORN in their lead.

They. Are. Flailing. When Matt Drudge is out of even slightly plausible spin, The World as the GOP Knows It is hurtling completely out of control.

Charlie is the son a dear friend, and was doing a senior year Kairos Retreat. His mother asked me to write him a letter, to be read during the weekend, and at first, I thought I had no idea what to say. Then, in the writing, twenty years of retreats and seeking of my own found voice. I received such positive comments on the letter, I thought perhaps it would speak to a wider audience than one 18 year old boy.
