An Open Letter From the President
Dear Presidential Debate Commission: I did not like this experience at all. It was scary. I have instructed Karl Rove to look into whether debates are un-American. Or maybe they threaten national security because they make me look weak. In any event, please stop calling me for these things. Very truly yours, President George Bush

A Letter from Iraq
I heard an educated Iraqi say today that if Saddam Hussein were allowed to run for elections he would get the majority of the vote. This is truly sad.

The 2004 Presidential Drinking Game
Stole this from the Chicago Tribune By David Martin. September 29, 2004 Let’s face it. The presidential debates are a nuisance. But for whatever reason, most television networks feel obliged to carry them. So stop your whining and make the best of a bad situation with the Official 2004 Presidential Debate Drinking Game. All you […]

Uneducated and Docile
You gotta love The Memory Hole. While many of us realize that the design of the public school creates an assembly line type of “education” system, where conformity to the standard is more important that growing in true knowledge, it’s nice to find research where we can hear this sort of thinking straight from their […]

Surgery Tomorrow
Sigh…. don’t read this post while you’re eating. I’m going in for surgery tomorrow. For the last nine years, I’ve been living with a pilonidal cyst in my more… um… nether regions. After the initial infection my senior year of high school, it’s been pretty benign, with the occasional flareup. It’s always been a pain, […]

Advice for Church Leaders
Recently, historians have discovered an old letter from Presbyterian Elder Screwtape to a young elder, Wormwood. It’s a short letter, and provides a lot of interesting observations from an experienced elder to the young man.

Cuban Cigars May Not Be What They Once Were
As any cigar affectianado knows, Cuban cigars are considered the ultimate in forbidden fruit. Since the embargo was enacted on Cuba in the 1960’s, their cigars have been severely restricted from entering the United States. Since then, many people have done backflips and risked felony conviction to smuggle bundles back into the U.S. Since that’s […]

Amazing! Simply amazing. The French obviously have too much time on their hands.

In case you were curious, a horse is not a vehicle
To the tune of the Mr. Ed theme song: ————————————— “A horse is a horse, of course, of course, but the Vehicle Code does not divorce its application from, perforce, a steed as my colleagues said. “‘It’s not vague,’ I’ll say until I’m hoarse, and whether a car, a truck or horse this law applies […]

Compassion or Guilt?
I would hope that as Christians consider the issues, they truly consider their Christian brothers around the world, and the solutions to the poverty that exists worldwide. The solution lies not in Messianic government programs, or in “fair value” coffee beans, but in trusting in the principles that God places in his Word, “Thou Shalt Not Steal”.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
A gang of us went to see Innocence last night, and, well, I wasn’t too impressed. The visual imagery was incredible, and the story was pretty involved, but as with any Mamoru Oshii movie, the story gets bogged down in a bunch of existentialist mumbo-jumbo. Of course, you can’t really expect much more from a […]

What is RSS?
You may have noticed the RSS links at the bottom-right side of this website, linking to some weird XML data. These links contain the feed data for our website. Hacking Netflix has written up a summary on what RSS is, how it works, and how it can be useful to you. I highly recommend taking […]

Death and Burial
There are many aspects of life that we often take for granted, culturally, without considering them from a Biblical perspective. I take a certain pleasure in challenging those cultural assumptions, especially when challenged by our postmodern culture. The question becomes, why do we do things the way we do, and even more importantly, is there […]

Cigars at Midnight
Wow… I am smoking the strongest cigar ever. “Buzzing” is too weak a word for what I’m going through right now. It’s called a “La Aroma De Cuba“, which, with even my broken spanish, is “The Smell of Cuba”. Now, my understanding is that, under it’s current dictatorial regime, Cuba really stinks. This cigar, however, […]
