Yet Another New Testament Hijacking

by Smitty Frank Schaeffer, “a survivor of both polio and an evangelical/ fundamentalist childhood” in the PuffHo, in a post entitled At Last [A] Book That Asks: What Would Jesus Do About “Illegal” Immigrants? concerning the recent release: Neighbor: Christian Encounters With ‘Illegal’ Immigration by Ben Daniels. FS opines: Using a blend of travel narrative, […]

The Blogging Equivalent Of Being Whisked Off To The Cornfield

by Smitty #UPDATE `wp_comments` SET `comment_approved` = 0 WHERE comment_author=’gg’; #522 row(s) affected. ( Query took 0.1370 sec ) So, that was a trifle drastic. I had hoped an earlier comment hint I left about opening his own shop on Blogger would have been enough. Then there was this email from Stacy: GG has just […]

What Do You Mean, ‘WE’?

by Smitty In the post on the GZM as an election issue, I had said: “I’m all for seeing ecumenical centers at all sorts of hallowed sites, like Mecca, Medina, and Ground Zero. Because if ‘tolerance’ and ’sensitivity’ are not omni-directional, then they may just be cheap talking points proffered by the nefarious.” And our […]

Conspicuously Absent Words

by Smitty Reading Lefties can be a source of sad amusement. Curtis Valentine at PuffHo has a piece trying to find the ointment on the economic fly.

Ron Miller Question And Answer Part 2

The last clip is going to hurt a few people in their business model. Growing up in an apolitical family An interestig Condi Rice fact. […]

Ground Zero Mosque As An Election Issue

by Smitty (h/t Libertarian Republican) John Gomez floats the obvious question: He has Sarah Palin’s endorsement. I’m all for seeing ecumenical centers at all sorts of hallowed sites, like Mecca, Medina, and Ground Zero. Because if ‘tolerance’ and ‘sensitivity’ are not omni-directional, then they may just be cheap talking points proffered by the nefarious. On […]

Toomey GOP Weekly Address: C+

by Smitty Toomey speaks clearly and plainly. As a relative new guy, he’s beholden to the party line: Democrats are irresponsible. The complaint seems more one of style than substance, however. I can’t foresee any long-term improvement until a more Tea Party attitude of limited, Constitutional, Federalist government takes hold. This Democrat-lite talk is rather […]

Big Furt Hat Boils Keynesian Economics Down To A Graphic

by Smitty Simplicity is a treasure. Sure, you can trundle over to The Classic Liberal for a more full treatment, but BFH deploys Mr. BFD to devastating effect: While we need to have a detailed refutation on hand for serious discussion, the straight-ahead, crayon-level belly laugh is also crucial. Thanks, Big Fur Hat! Update, via […]
