How do I Get a Bailout?
Come on, I’m looking at the credit card statements, the current value of our house, the gas prices and the utility bills, and I’m thinking that if Mr. Bush wants us to contribute to the rescue efforts for Insurance and Banking, he should be sending a little our way, too. After all, we didn’t [...]
Drinking the Sarah Palin Kool-Aid
I haven’t been astonished at the reactions I’ve been seeing among certain people to the nomination of Sarah Palin. Honestly, there are still people out there who think that Saddam Hussein engineered the 9/11 attacks, that we need to fight terrorists over there so we don’t have to fight them over here, and that [...]
The Power of Prayer. . .
Not too long ago, I passed on a story about a young girl who died because her parents were treating her diabetes with prayer. A different church attempted the same thing with young Ava Worthington, with equal success, and now Ava’s cousin has had the same results.
Fortunately, Oregon, unlike Wisconsin, has laws that hold [...]
Holiday Display Controversies
In Racine, Vernon, CT, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, atheist groups have put up their own displays alongside Christmas themed ones, and it has raised at least as much ire as the legal insistence of menorahs and kwanzaa decorations on public property.
For the most part, Christians are quite willing to share the secular part of [...]
Plus Some Regular Trackbacks
Turns out E. J. Dionne isn’t the only wingnut writing for the Washington Post. I don’t need to write a post about this, just check the article commentary and reader comments on William Kristol’s Bush-Worship Can you say “sycophant”, kids?
Plus, we get some news today on Vitter, as well. Seems he had [...]
Why Defend Vitter?
I was a bit stunned by E. J. Dionne’s defense of David Vitter. In his syndicated Washington Post column, he said:
My defense of Vitter is qualified because I believe that married guys have a moral obligation not to seek the pleasures of “escort services.”
Nor do I like hypocrisy. During the battle over the impeachment [...]
Paul Hill
OK, this is an appalling thing, but it’s been suggested that a blogswarm will bring attention to it. As tiny as this blog is, it’ll be a contribution. July 27-29th this year, a group of sick individuals will be holding Paul Hill Days in Milwaukee. In case you don’t recall, Paul Hill [...]
Sam Brownback, Off Course to the White House
There’s a lively discussion over at Crooks and Liars about Senator Brownback’s latest moral declaration. All I can say (besides what I said on the comments thread) is that I’m glad he’s making so many theocratic statements now, so we don’t have to worry about him becoming president and surprising us. I wish [...]
It Must be Stupid Rays from Outer Space.
I’m blown away. Bush’s approval rating is down the toilet because of Iraq. The Iraq Study Group (paid for by us, ladies and gents) says we should get out. Our professional military leaders, seeing it firsthand, say we can’t “win”. The death toll is climbing, hatred against the US is growing, and that is causing [...]
