OK -- so I've been watching the opening ceremonies of the Turin Olympic Games and I'm wondering... are the wingnuts now going to go into another set of collective convulsions because Yoko Ono, Peter Gabriel, et al had the ugly...
This is the first Olympiad that has caused chronological disorientation. The last Olympics were in Greece, only a year and a half ago, not that long according to the calendar. The Olympics before that were the Salt Lake...

If any clergy actually preach the gospel, will they be ostracized or unemployed? I am not sure but I would guess very quickly. Indeed he or she might not have an opportunity to finish the sermon.I am including the portions...
At the risk of alarmism, I feel compelled to note the rapid rate at which international newspapers and governments are acknowledging that God is indeed great. The capitulation isn't terribly surprising; nor is the reluctance of American and British newspapers to...
Thanks in part to an early birthday present from my madre for mi wifey, we are now in Savannah. Concerned and My Madre teamed up to sort of give us a last hurrah before our bundle of joy wreaks havoc...
Context: the release of iTunes U, and a subsequent discussion of the suitability of Digital Rights Management applied to educational content. Remember people, I slog throught these wastelands to bring you gold! [Continued after break due to suitably adult language]...
Google does it again. Genius. Of course students/alumni will have to suffer the little targeted ads on the right, but it is Gmail after all, the best web based e-mail tool around....

Did I miss something ? Are we playing Wag the Dog? HHS did the bad stuff, I was fooled? Spare me please. If we just need some fill in for Cspan..How about we rerun Micheal Moore's Canadian Bacon that was at least...
I haven't posted to this blog in a year. I haven't the time or inclination to write blog posts when I have to write all the time for my graduate program, but it was fun while it lasted. ...
Every four years since 1896 the nations of the world have met to participate in the most remarkable forum for furthering individual skill through competition man has ever known! This event is the Olympics Games! But rarely has the contest...
Republicans -- and espeically Bush -- have a huge problem with the American black community and if possible, it's getting worse. So, what genius thought that Mary Matilin's tone deaf attacks on civil rights leaders (which smacked of a pre-Katrina...
The latest Battlestar episode introduces a group of sympathizers whose motto is "demand peace". Their thesis is that it isn't the Cylons that are the true enemy, but the military and government which refuses to negotiate. I'd like...
Just finished watching the second new episode of Battlestar Galactica. I don't think I've ever seen a show get so intense. Lost can't hold a candle to it....
[Cross-posted from the Pulse.] Partisan Pendulum There will be major changes to the Tennessee General Assembly in 2006. Unfortunately, I’m not referring to any that might be brought about by the new ethics bill. (More on that below.) These changes will likely...

David Gray is crooning to me from my little computer speakers: Please forgive me If I act a little strange For I know not what I do. Feels like lightning running through my veins Everytime I look at you Everytime I look at you Help me out...
...my morning coffee is too sweet. Every sip makes my eyebrows raise a little, makes me swallow and think Did I get that at a gas station? That's not the taste I was going for. However, it's...
Friend from college visiting this weekend. Activities: drinking coffee, watching winter Olympics opening ceremony, one more viewing of Rent which is now at the cheap movies, talking, a little bit of weekend errand running, possibly working out together, making...
Sometimes these birds seem to look right at me. It's possible this cardinal is wondering who turned the heat off -- we're going into our second week of winter here in Chattanooga and there's no end in sight!TGIF! TGI friday...
today I rose from the wrong side of the floor, and my body reminded me how much it hates me sometimes. Then ontop of my body being unhappy with me, the house here in Savannah had only a...
