Deep Sadness

I picked up today’s edition of Rumbo, a nationwide Spanish-language circular, to read on my way to work this morning. There was a picture from the Israeli airstrike in Qana, Lebanon. I had heard about the incident at Qana, where 56 people were killed, 34 of them being children but had not seen [...]

Donald Duck Moments

Remember watching the old school Disney cartoons back in the day?  The real ones not these computer animated things we have nowadays.  The ones with Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pluto, with Chip and Dale thrown in to spice things up.
I remember watching them and my favorite scenes would be the ones where something would set [...]

A Reluctance to Grow Up?

OK, I admit it, guilty as charged: I refuse to grow up. I still dress (at age 2 more or less the same way I did 10 years ago. I don’t like to dress up, but would rather walk around in my beat up sneakers. I only own one suit [...]

My Photographic Ode to David Crowder

Big Tobacco: the Perfect Business Model

A co-worker and I were taking about sales today and I for some reason or another thought of companies like Philip Morris, yeah the cigarette people.  These guys are making money hand over fist even though their product are detrimental to one’s health.

Wow… As Olasky points out, some elements within the political apparatus accuse religious [...]

The French saved Western Civilization

As shocking as that is to some, it’s true. The French have gotten a bad rap after doing their best “Soldier of Love” impersonation and laying down their arms when faced with the German Blitzkrieg.
Western Civ owes the French a debt of gratitude. It was they, under the leadership of Charles Martel, who [...]

No Mary it is not the Lord

Much to my chagrin the person who commented in this post below turned out not to be Messiah. I was truly disappointed upon finding this out. I had figured, with all this stuff going on in the Middle East that maybe the Lord had come back (for the sole purpose [...]

Psalm 19:1

I took this picture today as the sun was descending behind this big block of clouds.  My wife and I were awed by the beauty of this masterpiece, but this awe pales in comparison to the praise which the Painter deserves.
“The heavens are telling of the glory of God;  And their expanse is declaring the [...]

The British Open, brought to you by Roundup

In today’s “there are more important things to worry about” category there is the cholorophyllophobia on display at the British Open to consider.
I realize that the UK is where the game got its start but can someone please water those courses.  The course the tourney is being played on looks like someone is not only [...]
