Image via WikipediaFirst, there was Beat Mor Chiken. The Chick-Fil-A cow was mugged. Then, McGruff the Crime Dog, savagely beaten by a Metro bus driver. Was that all? Rats, no it isn't. Chuck-E-Cheese was curdled. If you are a big fuzzy lovable mascot, be afraid. Be vewy, vewy afwaid. The citizenry has had enough of … Continue reading Mascots Under Attack

The Fine Print of the Immigration Bill
Fortunately, the Senate gagged on ramrodding (which is different than "Hillary Ramrodding") the immigration bill down The People's Throat. It'll give us more time to hoot and hollar and threaten to vote for the other party. James Lileks offers these highlights of the immigration bill this morning, and it's amazing what they thought they could … Continue reading The Fine Print of the Immigration Bill
Pope Must Die, Says Muslim
That's what a London Muslim says. The Pope must die. 1 - Pope says Muslims can be violent. 2 - Muslims riot, burn the pope in effigy, and say the Pope must die. Have I misunderstood? I keep looking for quotes from leading Muslim leaders denouncing the violence, but if quotes like that exist, I … Continue reading Pope Must Die, Says Muslim
Pink Panther Returns
I wrote last month about how I'm having trouble enjoying Hollywood movies and critiqued the latest Pink Panther movie as an example. Needless sexual entendre and poorly implemented slapstick spoiled what could have been a funny movie. The American Spectator today agrees: In addition to that first tedious scene of Clouseau trying to park a … Continue reading Pink Panther Returns
Kenya Mission, Day 4
December 30, 2005 Goodness, can it be Friday already? We left Houston Tuesday afternoon and we're still not at our final destination. It's like Africa is on the other side of the world or something. 😛 We woke up in the Methodist Guest House in Nairobi, and in the light we could see how quaint … Continue reading Kenya Mission, Day 4
Cartoon Violence Continues
I'm amazed at the violence from the Muslim world. I don't think they're convincing me they're not a violent religion. I certainly understand their anger. When Christians get upset, we write letters. Storming an embassy looking for infidels to kill? I don't recall Christians doing that. But for goodness sake, they're cartoons. There is hypocrasy … Continue reading Cartoon Violence Continues
American Values Awards for Movies and Television
Apparently I'm not the only person irritated by the Oscars this year, dominated by sexual immorality and politically controversial left wing movies. Michael Class has started a new awards program, American Values Awards for Movies and Television, to reward those movies that are more family friendly. LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A conservative US filmmaker, angered … Continue reading American Values Awards for Movies and Television

Intelligent Design in Public Schools
Andrew Coulson at the Cato Institute has a question - why are we fighting over Intelligent Deisgn vs Evolution? Does it matter to one parent if another parent teaches their child about God? Supporters of the theory of human origins known as "intelligent design" want it taught alongside the theory of evolution. Opponents will do … Continue reading Intelligent Design in Public Schools

Her next book, "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt," will tell the story of … Continue reading Ann Rice Now Writes for the Lord

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; … Continue reading Terrorists Still Hate Us

Religious Wars
A recent poster wrote: I am not sure I buy the claim that atheism is in decline, and I certainly question the statement that it is losing its scientific basis. Religious belief has no scientific evidence to support it and a long and bloody history of violence, cruelty, and intolerance. If you don't "buy that … Continue reading Religious Wars
Angelina & Christina Redux
Ok, ok already... next time I post something even slightly off-color, I'll give myself 24 hours first, *then* decide if I should post it. I agree it wasn't fair to post something and then yank it. So here's my strategy: I'm going to repost it now and then try to post a lot of things … Continue reading Angelina & Christina Redux
Chernobyl and the Weekend
The Bleat, as usual, was excellent today. He turned his daughter's playhouse into Chernobyl. Go read it now or I shall taunt you unmercifully. I shall taunt Sean twice and include snide comments like, "Oh, so you were home schooled? I couldn't tell." I'm waiting for Alex to magically appear from college. He'll either want … Continue reading Chernobyl and the Weekend
