Imitatio Christi

A True Beleiver No Longer

    There are limits to the cognitive dissonance we can tolerate, I suppose:>)

Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel

or lower.  Did you ever wonder why groups develop "awards" to give to people who agree with them?  What's that old song, "people marchin' and acarryin' signs, mostly say "Hurray for our side"?

Iran and the British

    Well, there seems to be on-going escalation in this crisis.  It's too early to tell where this leads, though I am grateful that it has not escalated even more.  I suppose the longer we go without major escalation, the more likely tings are to cool off.....

Car Bombs in Iraq

    I saw a recent article that asked the question: is the car bomb the invincible weapon?  Whether it is or not, it seems they are becoming increasingly popular, as this piece shows.

Andrew Greeley

    On the gang that couldn't shoot straight because, well, they just aren't shooters to start with.

Saturday's Political Cartoons

    Bob Geiger has quite a collection on his site today.

Embryonic Stem Cell Research

    It looks there will be a couple of votes on stem cell research in April.  Take a look at these alternatives, and let me know what you think.  Should these be passed?  On what grounds should decisions on this be made?

Logging the National Forests

    Seems a judge recently intervened in the administration's attempt to open national forests to logging without appropriate environmental impact reviews.  Kudos to that judge!

Supporting the Troops

    Well, this administration sent too few troops, sent them under-prepared, and has consistently fallen short on medical care when they return.  But, as long as they are good photo op props, they like 'em just fine.  Except, now some generals are pointing out troops are for that.

Time on Bible in School

    Surprise, surprise, surprise, the folks at Time seem to think the Bible should be taught in public schools.  What say ye?
