Today is the last day to take advantage of the early-bird registration discount for Together for the Gospel 2010. I know the only reason you’re going is to meet me, and you won’t want to pay too much for that.
Once upon a time, the civilizing influence of the fairer sex was highly valued. Now, among the lofty goals of feminism is one woman’s dream: “One day, a late-night writer's room will be filled with poop jokes and fart jokes . . . and everyone will laugh, including men and women of all creeds and colors.”
A syndrome for all occasions: If you should find yourself a curious, but passive, onlooker to a horrendous violent crime, don’t be concerned; it’s normal, and even expected, now that everything can be explained in terms of syndromes.
Disturbing, but no longer surprising: “It’s just not normal to look over and see your wife with another man. I know a lot of people would have a real problem with that. I really don’t.”
I’ve wondered what the origin of the “Al Gore invented the internet” joke was. Thanks to Dan Phillips, now I know. What caught my attention in the Late Edition interview was the typical politician’s commandeering of Scripture when convenient. Pro-abortion rights Gore can ignore the Bible on murder, socialist Gore can ignore the Bible on theft, and climate-change crisis Gore can ignore the Bible on lying, but he can quote Matthew 7:20 in reference to the alleged good fruit of the Clinton administration. The “inconvenient truth,” of course, is that when Jesus said “by their fruits ye shall know them,” he was speaking of judging false prophets.
’Tis the season for Halloween posts. I’ve contributed my two cents, haven’t changed my mind, so here you go: have an encore presentation from three years ago.
Speaking of Halloween, although this goes against everything I believe, it’s too much fun not to pass on.
