The Rubber Spam Man

Friday, April 28th, 2006

I have achieved some odd level of notoriety, at least on the internet.  No, I have not made someone's list of top 10 sites (though I once got a reference on the Monday Morning Insights blog).  Nor have I been featured in my local newspaper as the blogger par excelance.  I haven’t even been found [...]

Good Night and Good Luck

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

Serving as bookends for George Clooney's marvelous film, Good Night and Good Luck, was Edward R. Morrow's 1958 speech on the lost promise of television.
I do not advocate that we turn television into a 27-inch wailing wall, where longhairs constantly moan about the state of our culture and our defense. But I would [...]

Joshua’s People 4/26/06

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

This cartoon was inspired by a real event. Over a quarter century ago, when I was still pre-married or even pre-engaged, I went on a date with very pretty lady.  Since I was eager to please, I asked her what she wanted to do for the evening. She suggested we go see a new, scary [...]

And Where is Our Ship?

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

My in-laws went on a cruise to celebrate one of their landmark anniversaries.  They went to a vantage point and watched all the other cruise ships as they left dock for ports unknown. It was a very emotional time and it overtook my mother-in-law with its drama as she watched the ships leave.  Finally she [...]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

I will submit [...]

Suffering is Meaningless

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

My father is dying from cancer.  I have mentioned it in the past .  I repeat it not for your benefit, but to keep me from lying to myself.  I do it quite easily. I catch the lies that course through my brain even as I write these lines.  The man who fathered and raised [...]

Genesis: A Poetic Manifesto

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

About three churches ago, the Elders of that august institution asked me  if I would teach the Sunday School for Teens.  Apparently, the teachers who previously performed the task had burned out and needed an extended break.  I asked the Elders what they would like me to teach.  They basically said, "Teach what you want.  [...]
