  • 12 Drummers Drumming Awful Christmas Songs

    Anyone who has ever worked with me knows that sometime around September fifteenth I begin listening to Christmas music and don’t stop until late January. Anyone who is close to me knows that my Christmas tree goes up on Black Friday and comes down sometime after Valentine’s Day. I have no problem telling everyone that…

  • How Should A Christian Act Under A President He Didn’t Want?

    A lot of Democrats (including those of the Christian persuasion) have been making a lot of noise about Obama winning the Presidency. They haven’t been making as much noise about a Democrat House and Senate but the noise has been there nevertheless. At points some of these same people (Christians included) come up to me…

  • Obama: President of the Harvard Law Review

    This has come up enough times that I thought I should say something about it. Folk like to raise the Obama Harvard Law Review thing to prove scholarly level of intelligence and qualification.

McCain attacked Obama for…

  • Fact Checking the GOP

    Here’s a direct quote from FactCheck.org and you can read the full article over yonder. Is anyone else annoyed that all I’m posting is politics? Anyway: Joe Lieberman and his former Senate colleague Fred Thompson both made misleading claims about Obama in their prime time GOP convention speeches on Tuesday. We’ve heard two of them…

  • This Data Cap is Fully Operational

    I had posted this some days ago. Today the news came in that Comcast’s 250GB data cap is now in effect come October.

  • Begging Which Question?

    Once upon a time, folk would stand in a circle, before an audience, and debate things. No, not Jerry Springer. I’m talking about the Old Days before TV. To establish the grounds for the debate the two folk arguing would first state what they’re arguing for (or against) and then proceed with given statements. The…
