A Facebook Conversation – Ongoing
Yesterday was a good day. I mingled online with my Facebook friends and with Wayne’s World as well. Here are some highlights and thoughts from both forums as history unfolded before our eyes. Catherine is ready to celebrate – is it too early for champagne? Catherine is always impressed with the peaceful transfer of power. [...]
What This Morning Means to Me
Watching HBO the other night, I caught some of the musical guests who were performing with exuberance in front of the Lincoln Memorial. My heart soared while legends like Stevie Wonder and Pete Seeger teamed up with Usher and Bruce Springsteen, all of them looking and sounding better than ever. Their optimism and love for this country [...]
I Wouldn’t Consider Myself a Fan of the Heritage Foundation
A few years ago, I signed up for email notifications from The Heritage Foundation because 1) I wasn’t thinking properly, 2) they were giving away free copies of The Declaration of Independence and pocket-size copies of The Constitution of the United States and 3) you never know when you’ll have to bust out the law of land [...]
Low IQs, Chewing Tobacco and Death at Monster Truck Show
During a Monster Truck Show in Tacoma, Washington, some debris flew into the stands and killed a 6 year-old boy. One would think that the medics responded right away, the show came to a grinding halt, and people hurried out of the Tacoma Dome in horror. One would be wrong. Fans alerted the medics by [...]
What is it About Football?
Ridiculous statements or actions would earn scorn from anyone else. But such nonsense is often ignored when the rhetoric or behavior comes from someone who can handle a pigskin real well. Tony Dungy had most of the media singing his praises recently when he retired from his job as head coach in Indianapolis. (He’s coming back [...]
What Does This Mean?
Driving home the other day and trying desperately to avoid the Schnitt Show, I heard a few studies being discussed on Top Forty radio. Apparently some scientists, with a whole lot of time on their hands, fed steroids to a few cats. We’ll call them Group A. Group A freaked and acted crazy, aggressive, loud. [...]
Another Company to Boycott
Driving behind this holy-roller bothered me on several levels – 1) Those who really glorify Christ, don’t usually feel the need to broadcast it. 2) This company doesn’t hire any Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Agnostics, or Atheists? Only Christ glorifiers need apply? 3) It’s quite cynical to advertise for your business using the Christ card. And cynical isn’t Christlike. [...]
Some People Are Determined to Ruin Gainesville
And no, I’m not talking about Gator fans. The Gainesville Charter Amendment is going on the March 24th ballot and is sponsored by a group calling itself “Citizens for Good Public Policy.” This amendment will repeal protections in housing, employment, and public accommodations for homosexuals. If you are worried about the erosion of tolerance and seek [...]
Where Do You Stand?
House Democrats in Washington are trying to push through legislation calling for $825 billion in federal spending. This plan also includes tax cuts and the hope is to see a sluggish economy finally get turned around. Our elected officials are promising the money will go toward energy, education, health care and highway construction jobs. Already, [...]
Thought For the Day
Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman’s toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.
Disproportionately blessed...
