Besides catching up on work and getting some other projects done, I’ve been spending so much energy watching and pondering the political news coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire that I haven’t really given much thought to anything else. I promise I’ll refrain from turning this into another blog of talking points, although I [...]
I’ve been following the political process very closely over the last several months as the caucuses and primaries loom for the selection of the Republican and Democratic nominees for President. I dislike partisan politics and am not particularly happy with how this country has been run on all fronts, but for better or for worse, [...]
In contrast to the abysmal “Christian” response to the open letter from Muslim letters (you can find a link to it in the comments of a previous post), I was overjoyed to read this excellent rebuttal to the letter by the Barnabas Fund. In it, they educate Westerners on the finer points of Islamic outreach [...]
There’s been a lot of hoopla over this CBS News report on the rise of the Millennials in the workforce. I think some of it is just flat out nonsense, written to create controversial talking points and stir up media hype, but some of it warrants closer attention. I’m 24, going on 25 next month, [...]
I’m pretty astonished, frankly, that Mike Huckabee has shot up so high so fast in the polls. Make no mistake, this is a major political feat, considering that Mitt Romney has spend millions of dollars in advertising in Iowa, and Mike has spend…virtually nothing. It’s now looking quite possible that come January, we will see [...]
My thoughts and prayers are with the firefighters, law enforcement, and evacuees in the San Diego region of Southern California right now. The raging wildfires down there are wrecking havok on the landscape and on people’s homes and buildings, and it’s now been declared a federal disaster. What’s worse is that nobody’s quite sure how [...]
I’ve had grave concerns about the subject matter contained in the Harry Potter books for some time now. This latest news regarding the sexuality of Dumbledore doesn’t exactly boost my opinion.
I am extremely distressed over hearing this news about an open letter from Muslim leaders around the world which will soon be presented to leaders in the global Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant churches. In this letter, these leaders — respected names in the Islamic world — will reportedly entreat Christians to join with them to [...]
Mike Huckabee is a Republican presidential candidate who I find more exciting and in line with my personal political views than any of the other candidates, and while early this year he may have looked like just one of the many second-tier candidates with little chance of success, now he is starting to look like [...]
I very rarely comment on politics on this blog, and I hope to remain that way. However, it’s inevitable that as this year heads to a close and 2008 looms, the question of who will be the next President of the United States increasingly becomes a matter of great importance (and for many, great concern).
