Terrorists Still Hate Us
Even though the title of this article says, “Muslim world rejecting violence, says poll,” that’s not the conclusion I get from reading the results. The survey found that in Turkey, Morocco and Indonesia 15% or fewer said that suicide bombings and other acts of violence against civilian targets in defence of Islam could be justified; [...]

What happened to all the Karl Rove stories? Karl Rove go *poof* as the news media gears up to oppose John Roberts for the Supreme Court. The Karl Rove stories were just like the Tom DeLay stories. There was no meat to them, no substance, just media frenzy looking for something to damage Bush. The [...]

I finally finished I don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist. I was slow at reading the full book only because there was so much to provoke thought, especially in the first half of the book. Essentially, IDHEFTBAA (pardon the abbreviation; it’s a long title) gives a step-by-step apologetics approach to Christianity, all the [...]

Stuff I’m not likely to blog about this week: – The latest Harry Potter book. It sold a lot of copies apparently. – The Karl Rove kerfuffle. Like the Tom DeLay witch-hunt of last year, it’s just partisan yelping trying to find something, anything, that’ll burn the conservatives. I think “kerfuffle” is a silly word. [...]

I was fortunate enough over the weekend to hear Harbor Lights sing. Harbor Lights is a ministry of the Salvation Army, composed entirely of men who have successfully battled substance abuse and are actively working to return to being a productive member of society. Man, the singing was fantastic. They sang a combination of old [...]

I have trouble sympathizing with Bill Clinton. WASHINGTON (AP) – Former President Clinton, defending his senator-wife’s statements on abortion, said Wednesday that Democrats are held to a double standard. The comment came during remarks to Campus Progress, a left-leaning student group. He said young people in his party should speak directly to conservative voters. He [...]

Who screens the screeners? HOUSTON — When Bassam Khalaf raps, he’s the Arabic Assassin. His unreleased CD, “Terror Alert,” includes rhymes about flying a plane into a building and descriptions of himself as a “crazy, suicidal Arabic … equipped with bombs.” Until last week, Khalaf also worked as a baggage screener at George Bush Intercontinental [...]

In case you wondered if our children are being given an ultra-liberal education using your tax dollars, wonder no more. The National Education Association (NEA) – or as they’re known in Texas, the Texas Classroom Teachers Association (TCTA) – has called on Bush to withdraw from Iraq, give up on the Central American Free Trade [...]
