Cindy Crawford will be within a few miles of my house this Saturday, I wonder if she’ll stop by for a visit.
As you enter this church’s website, a video plays. It’s very Blue Man Group-ish and a bit long for an intro video.
I know a lot people of faith are going to be offended by Bill Maher’s new movie or documentary called Religulous, but I also think people of faith can learn something from the perception of their faith from unbelievers and perhaps a way to address that perception from the movie, as painful as it may be to watch. Movie trailer here if you are interested
In case you are wondering, she’ll be at the Rooms To Go in Grapevine.
This story about Jacksonville Jaguar Richard Collier breaks my heart. Here’s the gist of it, he and a friend were waiting outside an apartment when bullets started flying. I have no idea the reason why the shooting occurred, but to me that’s not important. Fast forward a few days and you find that not only is he paralyzed below the waist, but his left leg was removed. Imagine the overall dedication of conditioning your body day after day to reach the goal of playing in the NFL and then at a split second it’s all gone, and there’s no hope of going back. Heartbreaking.
I had a very productive meeting with the Southwest blog staff, and you will soon see some of my material appear on their blog. Developing.
I was a bit surprised to discover that this staff member knew of this little website before I even made that silly little video.
Worst job in the U.S. right now might just be that of Treasury Secretary.
I wonder what it will take for the Bailout Bill to pass. I can understand not voting for the bill if you disagree with its substance, but to disagree with it because the Speaker of the House made some remarks about the current administration sure does sound selfish.
If you are interested in who voted yes and no on the bill, I thought this map from the New York Times was interesting.
The woman running against Joe Biden for his Senate seat is a bit of a Palin look-a-like. Link
I wonder why Palin wouldn’t just name one newspaper. Link
I was too lazy to get up from my Lazy Boy to find the remote and change the channel when Dancing With The Stars came on, and then it got worst, Jessica Simpson started to sing. Not only do I think she was lip-synching, but she “over sings” wayyyyy too much.
I’m not surprised about the “Bacon and Burgers”. This Summer I went to Europe and literally EVERY city I went to, there were people packing into the McDonalds. It was shocking.
But honestly, its the only cheap food in Europe. Everywhere else, you end up spending way more than you wanted to.
However, it’s a little disconcerting being in Germany, just having gone to a Concentration Camp, then seeing a McDonalds sign in the plains less than a mile away.
1) I agree about the Mahler movie. There have been a number of books out lately making the atheism argument. I don’t think they should be ignored. Their most serious complaints don’t seem to be so much about a belief in God as they are about the dangers of promoting one particular religion over another to the point it creates discrimination and conflict.
2) Congrats on your progress with the Southwest blog…your efforts may pay off after all.
3) The Secretary of Treasury job wouldn’t be so bad if Paulson had gotten his original plan approved, which gave him the personal authority to spend the $700 billion without any review by any agency or any court, to include the Supreme Court. Now that’s chutzpah.
4) According to the WSJ, The Big Three banks now have 30% of all U.S. deposits.
5) The Republicans didn’t do themselves any favors (or McCain) by giving a press conference after the failure to pass the Bailout Bill and claiming that they defected because their feelings were bruised by Pelosi’s speech.
tons of Mickey D’s and Burger King’s are all over here in Germany. they loooove going to these fast food chains. every gas stations have either or, even, both of these chains. in our city, alone, it’s always packed. another runners-up are pizza hut, KFC and subway.
