- A study Bible wins Christian Book of the Year. Should any other book beat out the Bible in a Christian Book of the Year award?
- With the economy in turmoil you don’t hear a lot of “privatizing Social Security” talk.
- On my drive to work the other morning I saw a truck that had a back windshield sticker of a cowboy and his horse on one knee in front of a cross. I then looked down at the trailer hitch where a pair of rubber testicles were hanging. I was almost tempted to provide a link to that product, but I’ll leave it up to yourself to Google it.
- I remember back in the day when you could only buy seeded grapes – at least I think I do.
- I really like what President Obama did yesterday with his online town hall, and I hope future presidents do the same. In short, people could submit questions via the web they would like the president to answer, and other viewers to WhiteHouse.gov had the opportunity to rank the questions. It’s great that the public gets to ask questions in a public forum rather than just have the journalists ask the questions for us. And props to him for not dodging the most popular question that dealt with legalizing marijuana.
- In terms of being an affective communicator, he has to work on that, but in terms of effort of trying to communicate with the public I have to give him a high mark.
- I think he’s going to start some sort or expand on the whole get your student loans paid off by doing public service stuff. I hated that feeling of coming out of college with so much in student loan debt, that I would have loved the opportunity to take advantage of that, rather than the alternative of joining the military or border patrol.
- Here’s an interesting Hong Kong picture, be sure to move your mouse up and down the picture.
- WifeGeeding made the following statement during a conversation last night that made me chuckle, ” Would a protein shake be good for me, because I don’t work out that long, just an hour?” And here I am struggling working our for half an hour. But hey, she’s got the abs to prove it.
- D Magazine sent a reporter to 42 used car dealerships and to write and rank them.
- So when I heard that the Red River was flooding way up north, I had to research to see if that’s the same Red River that’s about an hour north of me . . . turns out there’s more than one Red River. Thank you Wikipedia.
- Metroplex Atheists are trying to raise funds for billboards, in their words: This billboard message challenges the accepted social status quo without coming across as deliberately offensive. It has a message of inclusiveness (“You are not alone.”) vs. the divisiveness of religion.
- Kim Kardashian’s un-photoshoped photo.
- I’m not a fan of when the local news put comments from viewers that drop little comments on their website and then put them on TV. It just seems silly. You see something like “CowboyFan75 thinks that Dallas police chief is a coward for not backing his boys in blue.” And they always like throwing the two most oppossing and extreme comments out there – blerg. Just report the news, please, pretty please. I don’t need to see the news sensationalize and turn into a local tabloid blog.
- And now a few Lost thoughts . . . you know the drill:
- So Sayid popped a cap in Little Ben . . . but that doesn’t men Ben’s dead. Remember how Locke was shot a season or two back and lived? This might just be what’s happening with Little Ben – the Island doesn’t want him to die.
- But I have a feeling we’ll see Workman Jack turn into Dr Jack and save his life, which will mean that’s twice he’s saved Ben.
- So Sayid killed the last of Widmore’s clan, can that war actually be over?
- It’s going to be a matter of time until we learn more and see scenes from Ann Arbor.
- Didn’t Sayid’s flashback with his brother and chicken killing remind you of Mr Eko’s flashback with his brother? Remember, Yemi couldn’t kill an unarmed man, so Eko stepped in and did the deed to save his brother.
