Review: Rock Band’s Motley Crue vs. Guitar Hero’s Def Leppard
This guy didn’t think so but I would LOVE to get those Def Leppard songs for Rock Band. (My GH games on stranded on the island named PS2.)

Representative Walks the Talk; Doesn’t Abort Her Down Syndrome Son

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

Consistently good stuff from the FRC. (Why couldn’t the GOP be more like the FRC? Heck, why stop there? Why couldn’t the DEMs?)
If anyone can relate to the struggles of raising a special needs child in this unforgiving world, it’s Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R). Last week, she and her husband welcomed their fifth child, [...]

Role of Religion in Politics

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

How’s that for a broad post topic? Well, I’ve got too much to do today to spend extra time “crafting” it. *wink*
I read this article today—Some young religious voters focus on social justice—and found it lacking in so many ways. Some the fault of the author, others either ignorance or deceit on the part of [...]

Rondo Shouldn’t Be Overlooked In Celts Return

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Kentucky fans have known that Rondo was talented from Day 1. Heading into the NBA, the question always was, “Could Rondo develop consistency in his jump shot so that defenders wouldn’t just play off him all day long?”
Looks like that’s exactly what he’s done. Now Simmons can’t contain his superlatives. (Mostly about the veteran’s [...]

Innovative Architecture Examples Abound Abroad

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

While America is not wholly devoid of innovative architecture, take Museum Plaza for example, most leading designs are coming from Western Europe or places like Dubai where billionaires build skyscrapers like little boys build toy towers.
(BTW, how about that title for some tongue-twister alliteration?)

World’s Hardest Online Flash Game

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I love the braggadocio but c’mon, it needs to be fun too! Right?
I made it the 6th level then took this screen shot. After having the music drone directly into my cerebellum I was hunting for the sound mute and accidentally started the game over. Argh! Maybe that was part of their ploy?
Well played sirs.

It’s not too tough to figure out who Simmons thinks is the MVP.

Heart-Pounding Dr. Visit

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Well, let me catch my breath. Can’t say I enjoy visiting doctors these days. Who does?
So… we’re already leery heading into the patient room awaiting the Doppler test. We just want to hear the baby’s heartbeat. The 12 week visit is the scariest because it was at this point that we lost two babies [...]

Homosexual Marriage Failing in Canada

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

More solid info from the FRC:
In the three years since Canadians legalized gay “marriage,” a majority of our neighbors have gotten cold feet. Although the number of foreigners who apply for same-sex marriage licenses is still strong, few of the locals are rushing to the altar. In Toronto, home of the “million-strong” Gay Pride March, [...]
