Hubris Post… hrumpf!

Posted by teejtc on October 2nd, 2008 filed in Religious, misc., Politics, Kevetching

I had a wonderfully observant and well-written post all ready to publish right here on this blog just a few days ago and the horrors of dial-up internet leveled their curses at me and the post was exorcised somewhere into the irretrievable world of hyperspace.  Now that a few days have passed and I’m no […]

Matthew 25 Network: Check it Out!

Posted by teejtc on September 27th, 2008 filed in Religious, Websites, Politics

I just saw the Matthew 25 Network on Facebook - Looks great so I thought I’d pass it on…

Especially interesting is the section called “Put Away Falsehood” which I find particularly helpful since so many of them are things I’ve actually heard people I know parroting.
Grace and Peace,

The Last Nail in the Coffin

Posted by teejtc on September 18th, 2008 filed in Religious, Politics

I’ll admit, I dislike Dr. Dobson and his social/religious/political drivel.  Sure, some of his parenting stuff is decent (some of it, however is horrifying [and illegal in some situations] - like  using hot sauce as discipline on small children!)  Some of his relational advice is even pretty good (although his views on gender roles, relationships […]

Meanness isn’t a virtue.

Oh come on… we’re not that stupid….

Ok, Let me be clear, first, I don’t think Palin was a brilliant choice for McCain.  Whatever.  It doesn’t really matter what I think (and I really don’t care, I don’t think McCain’s going to win anyhow).  Secondly, I agree with both candidates that (in general) candidates’ children should be off limits.  Children shouldn’t be […]

NBC - You Ought to be Ashamed

Posted by teejtc on August 8th, 2008 filed in misc., Politics

Even as I write this, I may be witnessing China’s triumph over western commercialism.  The opening ceremonies of the Olympics are being broadcast with near-constant interruption by NBC — it’s jarring.  The commercials are not well balanced and they are dramatically NOT beautiful, especially when compared to the opening ceremonies.
The opening ceremonies, on the other […]

Finally, some sense!

Posted by teejtc on August 7th, 2008 filed in Politics

Imagine what would happen if you or I were involved in a legal case and instructed (on bond) that any kind of travel for business required 48-hour notice to a court representative.  Of course, it wouldn’t happen.  For mere mortals like us, there would be no travel… Not with 48-hour notice… not at all.
The dear […]
