Jumping the gun
I saw a bumber sticker that said : “Don’t blame me , I voted for McCain”.  How utterly ridiculous,  and somewhat of a revealing of the hand,  as the clear message is that nothing Obama does will result in anything but...

Rick Warren and Barack Obama's Inauguration
Like many in the blogosphere, I've been mulling over President-elect Obama's choice of Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration in January. I've read lots of posts about it, with a wide range of views, with the main point...

Still here
It’s been nearly three weeks since I last posted. That might be a record for me.  I’ve not even been thinking much at all about posting in that period.  I’ve all but withdrawn from the politics going on.  I voted early (last week), ...

Border’s Books "From the Left"
I was somewhat amused that Borders considers Scott McClellan a liberal. His book appears in their list of books “From the Left” that I saw  in a Borders Rewards email,  under Politics. “Books from a Liberal Perspective”...

Another Summer Vacation
The four of us spent 5 days up in Cincinnati at Janet’s parent’s house,  and did a day of King’s Island,  a couple of Reds games ,  and I spent a little time helping out remotely at work (maybe 4 hours or so).  It...

slacktivist: Obama and McCain on Religion, Politics, and Separation of Church and State
Slacktivist has two great video clips up on his blog showing Obama and McCain speaking on the themes of religion and politics, particularly the separation of church and state. Fascinating.

Last Best Hope?
This country is still the last best hope on earth—Barack Obama on Letterman in 2007. Things like this provide me with the distance I need from the mania of the impressive campaign of Barack Obama,  and the “excitement” he has injected...

This Impresses Me A Lot
As one might tell from my posts today,  I was impressed with Obama’s political courage today.  He refused to REJECT OR REPUDIATE Rev. Wright,  but rather testified to his being “like family”.  This upsets some Democrats...

Change I Can REALLY Believe In
I think that I am perhaps putting a dog in this (political)  fight because I have been depressed and disappointed with the church in my life these past couple of years to an extent unmatched in my lifetime.  The fact that I have been reading...

Dear Remaining SuperDelegates
You MUST vote Obama,  if you value the morale of the Democratic party into the foreseeable future.  Hillary is the nightmare fulfillment of all of Obama’s calls to end the politics of cynicism and attacks.  I am beginning to question...

Was Jesus a Democrat or a Republican?
Here's a good response: This is of course an impossible question, like 'If the sun were to rise in the west, would it be green or blue?' In other words, by agreeing to the terms of the question you make it impossible to give an answer based...
