America Hated Abroad

I’m always entertained by the criticisms levied upon America by our neighbors in other countries or overseas. But that’s all I ever derive out of their opinions; Entertainment. However, it disturbs me when Americans seem to place some sort of importance on what the rest of the world thinks about us. Recently, with Barack “The […]

Still alive!

Just a quick note to say that I remain alive, unkilt by the heathen. I’m in the middle of a mad two months, finishing up course work and taking the comprehensive exams for my M.A. I’ll be back to blogging tomorrow, but frequency will be down a bit for a few more weeks. […]

Gratitude.

This is one of those late-night posts I’ll probably feel sheepish about in the morning.
After a long spiritual dry spell, God has been doing some neat things in my life lately. The ‘theme’ seems to be gratitude — I keep realizing just how blessed my life really is, despite my complete unworthiness […]

Checking in!

Just wanted to say that this has been a crazy week, and is about to get even crazier. My old Army buddy Frank is flying in today for a weekend visit. While I dig the blogging, I think beaches and pubcrawls may take precedence on our agenda. I’ll be back to a […]

setting the scene: a college festival in Japan

Our gracious host has been after me to do a Japan post for a while, but I keep getting bogged down in cultural criticism and other topics that must be making y’all crazy. Even trebuchets probably don’t entirely ease your pain.
Let’s see what we can do about that, shall we?  If possible, I’ll do […]

Need this like a hole in the head — Bob Barr jumps in the race.

Normally, this would be […]

Stuff You Should Know

While still dropping knowledge with us, our friend PG Epps has himself some new digs — inkanblot. It’s a quieter, less gonzo blog than Conservative Intelligencer. (And undoubtedly a good bit wiser, too. . .)

can I be a quietistic, hawkish, creedal Fundamentalist evangelical of unimpeachable catholicity?

A Herd of Unicorns:The Myth of Evangelical Political Engagement - the evangelical outpost
Boy, did The Conservative Intelligencer’s true self (I am certainly more alter than idem) ever jump into the middle of a good one, this time!
When Joe Carter begins detecting “echoes of neo-Fundamentalism” in the words of Phil Johnson, it’s time to get out […]

So much for drowning polar bears

Perhaps nowhere are the totalitarian instincts of the Left more apparent than in the global warming debate. In truth, there really isn’t a debate. Global warming skeptics perform their own research and critique the research of warming believers. Warming believers, on the other hand, refuse to engage the evidence presented […]

Seriously?!

It probably shouldn’t surprise me, but people actually waste time and resources on the most inconsequential things (other than this blog, of course).
Case in point.
