I’ve been sitting on some of these (yes, it’s uncomfortable) for a couple of weeks, so they might be a bit stale.
This might not be very nice of me, but few (trivial) things would give this non-sportsfan more pleasure than to see the Packers vs. the Vikings in the playoffs, and then to watch Brett Favre lead the Vikings to their first Superbowl victory. On second thought, the state that sent Al Franken to the Senate deserves no such victory.
Speaking of Franken, I know I’ve said some negative things about him. However, he does have one skill that impresses me. Really, it does.
And speaking of politicians, take heart — according to Tim Hawkins, The Government Can!
You’ve likely seen this by now, but it’s a good analysis of the American medical industry: How American Health Care Killed My Father. It’s disappointing to see that the author still tips his hat to socialism near the end (“For lower-income Americans who can’t fund all of their catastrophic premiums or minimum HSA contributions, the government should fill the gap—in some cases, providing all the funding.”), but it’s an otherwise good look at the problem and its solution.
Are you a parent, or just another pathetic, spineless weenie?
In the news: Star NFL player goes to prison for dog fighting. Meanwhile, a basketball coach murders his child in cold blood. We are assured that he will take no leave of absence, and will coach next season. Whew, that’s a relief.
Walter Cronkite is still popping up in the headlines here and there, but I wonder how many have read about The Man Who Wasn’t Cronkite.
Gene Veith: The new new-NIV may be even more gender-inclusive. Well, that’s good to know. Now I can still not buy one.
Albert Mohler has a message American “evangelicals” desperately need: Why Moralism Is Not the Gospel — And Why So Many Christians Think It Is.
Before you complain about the outdated language in hymns, make sure you know what you’re talking about.
In the “Not Hymns” category, the “worst worship ever.” I hope “worship” isn’t another word we’ll have to throw out as meaningless, along with “fundamentalist” and “evangelical.” As one YouTube commenter wrote, “i [sic] feel bad for jesus [sic]. all [sic] his friends are idiots.”
And then there’s this: Fratello Metallo.
On Twitter: Doug Groothius (The Constructive Curmudgeon) is a man after my own heart.
Just for fun: make your own Silly Putty or get your own custom bobblehead.
After my post on Monday, I’m sure you’ve been thinking, “Man I’ve got to see Jaws again (or perhaps for the first time).” Well, here you go: Jaws in 30 Seconds, re-enacted by bunnies.
