Today’s Minutemen Working to Secure Our Borders

Friday, March 31st, 2006

It’s a shame that our government is failing us in this area. But it’s great that men and women all over the country are working together to help fix this problem.
The following comes from the Minutemen HQ email alert:
Beginning this Saturday, April 1 st, thousands of Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (“MCDC”) volunteers will take to [...]

South Carolina Wins Back-to-Back NIT Titles

Friday, March 31st, 2006

Sure it’s not the NCAA, but don’t tell South Carolina. They’re on Cloud 9 after winning their second straight NIT by beating Michigan 76-64 last night. Michigan, by the way, won the NIT two years ago.
Clearly, South Carolina deserved an NCAA bid but made the best of it. Not many experts were talking about [...]

TVC Chairman Holds Marriage Summit At Prominent African-American Church
Rev. Jeffrey Brown said, “I’m upset by the characterization of this as a civil rights movement. We fought too long and too hard to have any kind of comparison. Rather than a civil right, marriage is a social regulation that has always had restrictions. … You can’t [...]

Unan1mous: Show 2

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

Just in case you didn’t think Jonathan was evil personified, now you know. Of course, he is just playing the game. But it’s one heck of a game. Lying seems to come natural to the guy. Is it just me, or does anyone else think he sounds like a politician?
Steve, the recipient of all the [...]

The Juvenile Adult

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

Big story on New York Metro site focusing on how today’s generation is hitting middle age, but we’re still immersed in the stuff of our youth. The author titled his piece, Up With Grups. I think it’s an incredibly interesting piece as I myself have been unable to eject my inner child in favor of [...]

Traditional Marriage Is Best for Children, Period

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

It isn’t about politics. It isn’t about being politically correct or incorrect. It isn’t even about choice, or freedom or any of the other basic tenants of our country. The issue of marriage is truly about, what’s best for society.
As the world diminishes the value and role of marriage, the building block of society [...]

A Moment of Zen 3/29/06

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

My first impulse upon seeing this amazing photo was that it was computer-generated. I’m not sure whether that’s more of a compliment to the power and proficiency of the new computer systems or a slight to the amazing photography skills of Mr. Duran?

America Says ‘Feel Free to Break Our Laws’

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

Question: When is a law not a law?
Answer: When the government doesn’t enforce it.
Oh yeah, also when the government caves in to political pressure to change a law already broken. It’s called “amnesty” not a “guest worker program.”

My TV Life

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

If I were a stronger person, I’d follow Ned’s advice to Kill Your Television. But alas, my willpower can’t stand up against the following lineup.
Sundays
Extreme Makeovers: Home Edition: Sundays @ 8:00, ABC
Feel good TV. More please!
Mondays
King of Queens: 8:00, CBS
Consistently great stuff from Kevin James.
Miracle Workers: 10:00, ABC
One of the few, “good for you” shows [...]

Miracle Workers Is Supremely Healthy

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

How could I have known before, that Miracle Workers (Mondays at 10 EST) would be so good for me? It’s not the kind of show that you really look forward to. No action, no laughs, no pre-fab drama, just inspiring stories about people striving for help and the doctors efforts to help them.
I think Congress [...]

Case Against Rahman Dropped

Monday, March 27th, 2006

Word today comes that the case against Rahman has been dropped (for now) due to lack of evidence. That’s a sham, because Abdul went on record saying he had become a Christian. What actually happened is that the Afghan government decided it wasn’t worth the damage to their image.
This is wonderful news but the [...]

h-haus: Energy Efficient and Stellar

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

h-haus asks this question: “Can an energy-efficient house also be aesthetically pleasing?” Then they answered it. Of course. Personally, I didn’t think it was that tough of a question to begin with. 8^)

Abdul Rahman Speaks

Friday, March 24th, 2006

More common sense talk from Tony Perkins:
Reports from Kabul quote Afghan officials saying a Christian convert might not be sentenced to death. Abdul Rahman must be insane, they say, and Islam is compassionate toward the mentally ill. Such talk is itself unbalanced. Contrast it with the quiet dignity of Rahman himself. He told BBC: “I [...]
