- Take that James Dobson!
Tired of judges being attacked, retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor has created a video game to teach children how the justice system works.
“In recent years I’ve become increasingly concerned about vitriolic attacks by some members of Congress, some members of state legislatures and various private interest groups … on judges,” O’Connor told the [...]
- What do you do with a dead moose?
Last night I got hooked on a Discovery Channel show called The Alaska Experiment. I found it fascinating that they could take a few people from all over the lower 48 and they would not only survive in the wild of Alaska, some of them did quite well.
Then this morning Kristen sent me a link [...]
- Figure Skating vs. Ice Hockey
In nearby Plymouth, Michigan the local government is discriminating against figure skating. That is, according to some angry moms. The story is that the local government has decided that since hockey pays 300% what figure skating pays for ice time, they are creating more time for ice hockey. [news story]
A couple of thoughts. (Feel free [...]
- Happy Birthday Megan
It’s hard to believe but my oldest child turns 7 today. Six was a good year to her. She has finished most of first grade. She is learning like crazy. She just got baptized. She has a lot of friends. She is in love with Webkinz.
Megan loves animals, especially her cat Lovely. While Lovely is [...]
- What is Billy Ray Thinking?
Like a Nascar race we’ve all watched Hannah Montana and asked the same question: Will this girl be able to survive the weight of pressure she’ll face? Will her Christian upbringing be enough to keep her out of the tabloids? Will her famous daddy help her avoid doing something really, really stupid? Or will she [...]
- “My Dad is Pretty Beast-Like”
When Allen Kieta’s dog wouldn’t stop barking he knew something was wrong. So Allen, armed with a phone, went to check out his house he knew something was seriously wrong. This is scary for anyone. But put yourself in Allen’s shoes… he’s blind!
The intruder knew Allen was blind but the intruder didn’t know that he [...]
- Shout to the Lord on AI
I missed this, but there is plenty of talk about it today on blogs. During American Idol last night the cast sang Darlene Zschech’s classic modern worship song, Shout to the Lord. (The song has it’s own Wikipedia page, you know it’s big!)
Here’s the video for those who missed it.Share and Enjoy:
- Boycott the Olympics?
In the next few weeks there will be a growing public outcry for the United States and many other major nations to boycott the Olympic Games in Beijing.
It bears refreshing our memory that China is, indeed, one of the worst human rights violators on the planet. Up until 2008 China was on the State Departments [...]
- Mike Wallace interviews Margaret Sanger
Recently, the University of Texas in Austin released a video collection of interviews between Mike Wallace and various people during the late 1950s. These are truly fascinating to watch!
But I wanted to point you to an interview he did with Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger. You may remember I spoke about her a few weeks [...]
- “A-Bomb” at FSU
This story cracked me up. A 17 year old visiting the campus of Florida State University accidentally shut down parts of the campus as a briefcase left on or near his car was mistaken for an explosive device.
The area was cordoned off, buildings evacuated, a command post set up, local fire departments and bomb squads [...]
