Calming Effect

November 14, 2006

Just as I’ve decided to stop complaining about illegal “immigration” from a burdened-American perspective, I may do the same with race preferences. I’m only one person, and though I’ve probably influenced a few readers with my unorthodox opinions about so-called affirmative action, black people in general will always support it, just as they will continue [...]

Christians Parking Illegally

November 12, 2006

Photo: A news crew films a segment about illegally parked churchgoers. The tension between white “newcomers” and illegally parking black churchgoers is so high in Washington, D.C., that the city abandoned its plan to crackdown on double-parkers to come up with a “solution” to the problem. In my experience, getting a parking ticket was always [...]

Headed Back to MSNBC

November 11, 2006

Sunday, November 12: In today’s must-read column, Mark Steyn writes about America’s impending impeasement stance with global enemies, thanks to our new Democratic Congress: The enemy [terrorists] aren’t a bunch of simpleton Pushtun yakherds, but relatively sophisticated at least in their understanding of us. We’re all infidels, but not all infidels crack the same way. [...]

U.S. Marine Corps Celebrates Birthday; Veterans Day

November 10, 2006

One more for the weekend road… The U.S. Marine Corps is 231 years old today. (Also see The magic of “a few good men”) Happy birthday! You make us proud. I know of at least one former marine who reads this blog regularly. Are there other former and current marines (or relatives of marines) reading [...]

Christian Landscapers: ‘We choose not to work for homosexuals.’

November 10, 2006

Update II: I like this from commenter and blogger Jerry McClellan: “You know, it is strange how so called tolerant homosexuals and their supporters want government to get out of their bedrooms, yet they want that same government to force others to not only refrain from verbally disagreeing with them but also to force them [...]

Republicans Rebuked; Democrats Directionless

November 9, 2006

Let’s speak plainly. Republicans got their bleep kicked Tuesday night. It was ugly. As I sat in a downtown D.C. coffeehouse on a cramped couch surrounded by bloggers blogging, I knew there’d be little good news for Republicans when the sun came up. The people spoke loudly and clearly: “You guys stink.” In “Another Campaign [...]

Third Blogiversary: Public Ranting and Raving Pays Off

November 8, 2006

Three years ago this week, I decided to start a weird-sounding web site called a “blog” because I didn’t think enough people were reading my opinions. You’ve heard this story before. Three years later, I can’t believe public ranting and raving has been so good to me. Other bloggers travel to hear me speak, and [...]

Blogging and Partying with CNN

November 7, 2006

Wednesday, November 8 @ 12:00 p.m.: I hope you conservatives didn’t spend the morning crying in your porridge. If anyone deserves to cry, it’s me. I stayed up too late last night and was reminded why I gave up drinking. I feel hung over (I’m usually in bed before 10:00 p.m. because I get up [...]

Along with [...]

Burdens and Blessings

November 5, 2006

Tuesday, November 7: Thank you for the wonderful e-mail and comments, everyone. I must clear up a few things about why I wrote this post. First, I have no intention of changing my writing style in any way. I say what I believe needs saying in a manner that I uniquely express it. There will [...]

Christians Can Be Perverts, Too

November 3, 2006

Update III: Haggard cops to buying drugs and receiving a “massage,” but not sex. OK. Later…You’re welcome, Bob. Update II: Remember this, public bloggers: YOU CAN’T PLEASE EVERYONE, so don’t even try. So far I’ve read on a Christian blog that I’m “bad-mouthing” Haggard (the blogger apparently ignored the second half of the post), while [...]

GodBlogCon: Wrap-Up

November 3, 2006

Update (5:02 p.m.): I really could get used to this blogging stuff. Tomorrow I’m speaking on a panel about how blogging has affected the news business. The Leadership Institute invited a New York Times reporter to talk about it from the mainstream media perspective, and two other bloggers and myself will discuss the topic as [...]

Advice From An Anonymous Reader

November 2, 2006

“UNK” e-mailed: I assume you have a lot of people checking out your blog from the Kerry post and link. While nothing is wrong with today’s topic on weather and bible, I don’t think it would entice many people to keep checking out your blog. I think one is supposed to follow up a hot [...]

Renewal and Rebirth

November 2, 2006

Autumn is my favorite season. I don’t like summer, and I look forward to “sweater weather.” As a kid, I eagerly joined in the school clothes-shopping ritual, determined to out-do my classmates with the latest fashions. In the 1980s, the preppie look dominated the halls of my junior and senior high schools, and I rode [...]

November 1, 2006

Wednesday, November 2: Howard Kurtz has a Kerry reaction round-up. Thanks for the shout out! ———————————————————————- Update: From the horse’s mouth. Commenter Larry says: “I very seldom agree with you but I come back to your blog because I think essentially you’re an honest person. Your response to the Kerry situation is the same as [...]
