The New Abolitionists
I’m not sure why I’ve been exposed to this talking point so often in the last few days, but once again I’m hearing and reading people calling Obama voters pro-abortion voters. ?Some leave the sentence enthymemic, but others go ahead … Continue reading

Product Review: Sansa Connect 4GB
Sansa Connect 4GB I got this little gem in the worst of circumstances: I had acquired for very little money its more expensive cousin, the Sansa View 8GB, and one day, the hold switch (which is built into the power … Continue reading

I’ve written here before that I enjoy the Theos-Seekers, our younger-adult Sunday school class at Athens Christian Church, and that hasn’t changed. ?Two weeks ago, while reading Phillip Yancey’s The Jesus I Never Knew as a class, we read one … Continue reading

Miriam in Motion
Did Daddy get a new toy when we got news of Miriam’s advent? Yes Daddy did. Incidentally, those of you who saw Micah’s baby pics back in 2005 might be suspicious that I’ve just photoshopped some pink clothes onto those … Continue reading

Baby Pictures to Come
Well, I was going to upload one of Miriam’s less-than-an-hour-old pictures so that everybody could see, but the hospital’s wireless connection is kind of slow the way the Pope is kind of German.? My website provider disconnected twice, assuming that … Continue reading

My Puerile Office Stunt
I thought I’d become immune to such things, but looking back, I realize now that some parts of me have not outgrown my Milligan petulance. I’ve liked Picasso’s Guernica ever since I became aware of it in college, and the … Continue reading

On Respect for the Office
I’ll admit that, at this point, nothing about cable-news-era American partisan shenanigans should surprise me.? I’ve seen push polls and astroturf organizing, free speech zones and major party convention speeches involving the word “spitballs.”? And I’ll also admit that, since … Continue reading
