Hubris Post… hrumpf!
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 […]
Read More..>>Matthew 25 Network: Check it Out!
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.

The Last Nail in the Coffin
I’ll admit, I dislike Dr. Dobson and his social/religious/political drivel.

Secondly, I agree with both candidates that (in general) candidates’ children should be off limits. Children shouldn’t be […]

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!
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.
