Russia Will Get Away With It
Russia invades Georgia, and we’ll make mewing-like complaints. Russia will conquer our ally Georgia and we will do nothing useful to stop it. Georgia, once part of the Soviet Union, has become a strong ally of the US. Three quarters of their country voted to join Nato. That must gall Russia. So they weighed their [...]

Image via WikipediaThe newscasters failed to get us into a tizzy over the weather. Tropical Storm Edouard never grew up into a hurricane. Actually, I think it’s a himmicane, not a hurricane. And he seems to have swerved a bit east and is coming ashore around Beaumont this morning. As one Houston newscast put it, [...]

When the US Government funds anything remotely Christian in nature, all sorts of “separation of church and state” groups get upset. The ACLU files a lawsuit and the “offensive” Christian material is removed. So why is it ok for US tax dollars to be used to oppose Christianity? Shouldn’t the same standard be used? PBS, [...]

I haven’t posted much this week. Perhaps it’s because I’m not thinking much this week. Here’s a little scrimpet of stuff that has passed by my noggin but is too little to write about – I haven’t given much thoughts to the electrion so far this year; it bores me already. I don’t like any [...]

The Houston Chronicle has a story about the “tradition” of regifting Christmas presents – Scrambling to find the perfect, last-minute Christmas gift? Then put down that bottle of wine. And please — back away from the blender. Chances are the person you give them to will slap new bows on the boxes and pass them [...]

Yes, the market ha been topsy-turvy (isn’t it always?), but some of the 6/3 options from a couple of weeks back have done well. When they hit about 400% return, these options begin to move like the underlying stock, so it’s time to sell the option and but something further out of the market. One [...]

Topics I’m not blogging about: Don Imus (who? never heard of him before this last week). Duke rugby team (old news, media hype, blah blah blah. If the boys hadn’t been a drunken frat party with strippers, they’d have never been in a position they had to defend themselves). That picture going around with the [...]

But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an [...]
