• Tebow and the (All)Mighty

    1) Tebow and Faith The theology of GOD on our side against other people who claim GOD is on their side is the height of insanity.  And to see strange coincidence as proof of that is ridiculous.  GOD sends signs rather than proofs of already held beliefs.  If anything, I’m willing to see that as a sign,…

  • Mark Sanchez and the Handling of Quarterbacks

    The world of sports, like religion, is often treated as black and white.  Fans often think of players and coaches as either “good” or “lousy” and tactics as “right” and “wrong”.  In this world, when a coach’s approach is different from how others might go about it, most are quick to offer criticism.  It goes…

  • TN Congressman Would Violently Attack Transgendered Person For Using Bathroom

    In one of the sickest things I’ve read in a while, Tennessee congressperson Richard Floyd says he would “just try to stomp a mudhole in him and then stomp him dry” if a transgendered individual used a bathroom with his wife or daughter.  That is why he is sponsoring a bill that would fine transgendered…

  • We Need a 21-Hour Work Week

    We Need a 21-Hour Work Week

    I’ve always supported causes directed at more time off, such as Take Back Your Time and efforts to increase and strengthen family leave because of their health benefits.  A new effort is underway to encourage the world to move toward a 21-hour work week.  This effort makes the most sense.  I’ll read the paper by…

  • I’m a Barnes & Noble Man

    Here’s one of the reasons I have a Nook.  Because it is from Barnes & Noble and not Amazon.

  • Ranting Grammarians

    I really like Lynne Truss. Her book Eats, Shoots & Leaves is one of my favorite books ever. I’d like to think that would be so even if I hadn’t majored in English. The book itself is one big rant on behalf of better grammar. She is militant, persuasive, and funny. And that seems to…

  • Good Enough Isn’t

    My wife and I don’t watch home improvement shows that often, but occasionally, we’ll have HGTV on for most the afternoon, forgetting that it isn’t really our cup of tea.  I got sucked into a couple of episodes of a show about flipping houses.  Again, not my thing, but at the time it was strangely…

  • Screw the Pope

    Seriously.  Maybe that’s the problem.  Any takers? No?  I don’t blame you.  It would be one thing if he looked like Sean Connery, but the man really does look like his given name was Ratzinger. You’ve already heard about his circular logic that homosexuality is destroying marriage, an argument that seems lifted directly from the…
