Pelosi, showing how many Sunday School classes she skipped

September 28th, 2006 ~ Political circus

Here’s Nancy Pelosi’s version of the Golden Rule, given yesterday in a speech:
“This is a time when the Golden Rule really should be in affect[sic]. Do not do unto others, what you would not have them do unto your troops, your CIA agents, your people in the field.”
Right. The next time I’m about to commit […]

Late September

September 27th, 2006 ~ Just a slice of heaven

It’s this time of year again. So nice for the temperatures to drop. And Juliet to start chasing Romeo around the tree again. And trees to just start changing out of the summer colors. And I picked up a couple to show the range you’ve got right now. Most of the trees are still green, […]

My spam avatar

September 26th, 2006 ~ Just a slice of heaven

I get slammed with spam e-mail, like everyone does these days, but I was a little intrigued to find that my spam had created a new person to send spam to. In the course of throwing out random names — anything to get past a spam filter, right? — one of the spams generated the […]

Christian graves to face Mecca

September 23rd, 2006 ~ Current events

Boy, it gets harder and harder all the time to be an Anglophile.
This bit of voluntary sharia law comes to us from Nottingham, England (link HERE):
A multi-faith cemetery will have all its graves aligned with Mecca, despite Christian burials traditionally facing east. …
In today’s secular society you could be forgiven for not knowing […]

NDG/JJ R: Wrap-up

September 23rd, 2006 ~ Travel blogging

I really hadn’t planned to add anything else, but I find that it feels unfinished to leave the odds and ends floating. So just like the end of a movie, let’s just find out where everyone landed, including yours truly

Jesse James was 34 when he died. He was buried at the James Farm, within […]

NDG/JJ R: Day Two

September 22nd, 2006 ~ Travel blogging

And the No-Dang-Good Jesse James Revue finishes up with today’s sights including a bank he held up and a house where straightening a picture turned out to be the last thing he ever did.

Woke up: at the same time as always. Blast.
Breakfast: A couple plums and Sugar Frosted Flakes. Now we’re talking. I haven’t had […]

NDG/JJ R: Day One

September 22nd, 2006 ~ Travel blogging

Hit the ground running with the No-Dang-Good Jesse James Revue (NDG/JJ R) …

Woke up at the usual time: shoot. Sometimes a person can’t sleep in for spit!

Did some reading and planning, and tried to get into the spirit of being as bad as I wanna be (see yesterday’s entry for The Rules). Took a shower […]

The No-Dang-Good Jesse James Revue

September 21st, 2006 ~ Travel blogging

Greg is off on a business trip till Monday, and it occurred to me that this might be the right opportunity to put together the roadtrip I’d been thinking of. So I moved work and other responsibilities around and gained myself two days and three nights for the rip-roarin’ No-Dang-Good Jesse James Revue (NDG/JJ R)!

The […]

“We will break up the cross …”

September 18th, 2006 ~ Current events, La Vida Iglesia

CAIRO, Egypt - An al-Qaida-linked extremist group warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday that he and the West were “doomed,” as protesters raged across the Muslim world to demand more of an apology from the pontiff for his remarks about Islam and violence. …
The group said Muslims would be victorious and addressed the pope as […]

Victory of the Cross

September 17th, 2006 ~ Orthodox perspective

O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance, granting to Thy people victory over all their enemies, and by Thy cross protect Thy community.

You can almost hear the melody when you see the words, can’t you? You do this song so often for the different feasts of the cross during the year that it […]
