Month: October 2004

  • Halloween Mushroom

    While I really don’t care much for Halloween, I thought this was a pretty cool design. Combine pumpkin carving with classic video games, and you get… 1upkin!

  • Voices from the Desert

    I could understand former Congressman Bob Barr’s thinking when he wrote the following recently: Voting for president used to be so easy, at least for a conservative. There was the Republican candidate. You knew he generally stood for lower taxes, less government spending, giving fewer powers to the government, lower deficits and a zealous regard […]

  • Gospel of Grace

    10.30.2004 Gentlemen, A friend gave me a copy of the bulletin, and let me know that they have missed our family in our church recently and had been praying for our children to get over their chest colds. They wanted to make sure that in our absence, we were still kept abreast of the announcements […]

  • Can You Admit When You’re Wrong?

    I think one of my bigger gripes is that so many excuses that are coming from Bush Administration about the whole Iraq war, and no one can just admit “We were wrong…”. As blogger Al Nye writes, “President Bush and his Administration never acknowledge making mistakes. In fact, Bush admits that even with hindsight, he […]

  • Truly Mighter Than the Sword

    As I start to reach middle age, I’m starting to take notice of life’s smaller pleasures. Take, for instance, my Zebra Sarasa gel pen. Before I can explain the goodness that is this pen, I must first make sure you, the dear reader, can understand the history of my frustration with pens, mostly stemming from […]

  • One Major Point for Peroutka

    Just received this email from an associate of mine on the Reformed Theology Discussion List. In a previous post, I asked to see “just see one person in the Constitution Party find fault with the Constitution on Biblical principle”. Well, ask and ye shall receive: Tom, I’m your man for that. I’m a registered member […]

  • Doug Wilson Seems to Agree With Me

    As a matter of settled policy, Bush has observed Ramadan in the White House, conducted a polytheistic worship service in the National Cathedral, offered reverence in a Shinto shrine in Japan, and so on. Many of these things, if done by a liberal Democrat, would (rightly) have had Christians up in arms. But with Bush, they go along.

  • Hold Your Nose When You Vote

    The election looms ever closer, and I’m realizing that I need to make a decision who I’m going to vote for in the upcoming presidential election. For those of you not paying attention, my available choices follow: George W. Bush – Republican John Kerry – Democrat Ralph Nader – Independent Michael Peroutka – Constitution Michael […]

  • On a Rice kick

    I’m currently on a Damien Rice kick and you should be, too. And while you’re copying me, have a mug of Double Spice Chai Tea with milk and plenty of sugar. Accept no substitutes for Stash.

  • Peace

    Recent personal study on Peace: ——————————— Why do believers have a spirit of peace? Because they are reconciled through Christ’s blood:

  • The void filled by Rick Warren

    This is a recent online post I made to the Reformed Theology Discussion List. It took me more than five minutes to write, so I thought I’d stick it in my blog to keep it in webspace a little closer to home 😉

  • Jon Stewart on Crossfire

    You need to see Jon Stewart on Crossfire. Tucker Carlson looked like his head was going to explode. You can download the BitTorrent here. You can also read the transcript here, but it really doesn’t do it justice.

  • Limited Scope?

    How many times have we heard that the “insurgent/terrorist” attacks in Iraq are limited to particular areas of Iraq (i.e. Fallujah, Sadr City, Ramadi, etc.)? This graph seems to differ with that assessment.

  • Voices from Prison

    Amazing words from an inmate down in out in America’s prison. It will truly bring a tear to your eye.

  • Why Kerry Can’t Afford New Programs

    “A plan is not a litany of complaints, and it’s not laying out programs you can’t pay for,” Bush said during the last debate. I wonder why it is that Kerry can’t afford his proposed plans? Could it be because the federal government is already up against the legal deficit limit?
