37

Sanford told me that god didn’t have his email address. Or, if god did, he wasn’t letting on. Sanford realized that god’s email, though requested in prayer, might seem unsolicited. After all, the email server couldn’t hear our prayers. He was worried that god might accidentally get filtered in with his spam. So, he started checking his spam each and every day. He was worried that god might not send email in English, so he used Babelfish to translate the foreign spam. But he stopped when he realized he was using a translation service that ultimately derived its name from a tower that angered god. If god sent him a message in a foreign language, he had a reason.

About Me

Even to those without Marxist sympathies, LJ was a dashing, charismatic figure: the asthmatic son of an aristocratic Argentine family whose sympathy for the world's oppressed turned him into a socialist revolutionary, the valued comrade-in-arms of Cuba's Fidel Castro and a leader of guerilla warfare in Latin America and Africa.
