pursuing holiness, following politics
Another view of the PC – Mac wars – enjoy these videos:
I love my PC. We always build our own so we get exactly what we want – nothing proprietary anymore like the old Packard Bells, and we can replace/upgrade parts at will. My PC may not be as pretty as a Mac, but the insides more than make up for it.

The Pigeon on Junk Mail and Spam
I hate unsolicited advertising. Like most people, I shred credit card apps by the truckload. I used to send them back with hate literature included in the envelope, until one company STILL opened an account in my name despite the
A Greener Country [Weekend Open Trackback]
Pressure groups from around Naples protested in Rome last Wednesday against the illegal dumping by Mafia-controlled businesses of millions of tons of toxic waste that they say is to blame for a rise in the number of tumours among local residents. Envir…

The (retarded) Conservative Solution To Illegal I
Another “Conservative” chimes in helpfully. Tom Nugent, presumably no relation to Ted Nugent, writes a piece comparing our illegal immigration woes to the movie Terminal with Ton Hanks. After a number of inapt, bordering on embarrassing suggestions h…
Troops ‘Dissent’ and ‘Protest’ to Congress
Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha and Harry Reid have put our soldiers between Iraq and a hard place. The soldiers have a war to win and victory is the goal. Pelosi, Murtha, Reid, the Democrat Presidential contenders, and the Democrat majority, have an elect…

Senate Democrat Fecklessness Continues
Not a single Senator who supports this nonsense can defend it on grounds of national security. Not a single one. How does limiting the President’s capabilities as commander in chief improve national security? How does limiting the military’s capabili…
Tasty, er, Hasty Pudding Award for Scarlett Johansson
In contrast to recent celebrity train-wrecks that don’t know how to handle pot, a grateful Scarlett is seen here lovingly holding the golden pudding pot. She was playfully subjected to a series of light-hearted jibes about her age, her curvaceous figu…

Today’s Iraq News
It starts out with the al-AP telling us we are stoopid for understimating and not thinking about how many civilians have died during Operation Iraqi Freedom. A subtle way to remind us that we as Americans are jerks, occupiers, terrible people, and shou…
Obama Wants Focused Political Attacks
Borat [now that is just funny] Obama has been locked in a battle with Hillary Clinton and he says that this has got to stop. He has vowed not to get involved in dirty politics and the back and forth that he believes does no good. That is, of course, …

Cao has already done a splendid job of covering that which I’m discovering on my own from Pelty’s newest book. But let me add a few observations. It’s hard to say if the eyepatch that Gerry Blackwood was wearing at the screening of…

Interesting review of Eat, Pray, Love:
“But warning bells about her spiritual sincerity start to go off when she admits she is willing to look everywhere (apparently in the whole wide world) for God, except in anything resembling orthodox Christianity.”
From WSJ, a probe to see whether Congress is misusing travel stipends:
“Some lawmakers said it has been a longstanding custom of lawmakers in both parties to keep any extra money. If lawmakers weren’t allowed to keep leftover travel funds, “you could never get many members traveling,” said Mr. Ortiz, the Texas Democrat, in an interview earlier this year.”
And the problem with that would be… ?
I had to laugh when I read Henry’s post, Five Sites I Read Because I Disagree. That’s the same reason I read Henry’s site – we’re generally on the same page, faith-wise, but Henry offers thoughtful, cogent defenses of politics a good deal more liberal than my own. (Though he’s much closer to the center than I am.) Mind you, I still disagree. But as iron sharpens iron, so an opposing blogger sharpens another. 
there would be liberal heads exploding and demands for the raaaaacist’s immediate resignation.
Wesley Snipes as Geordi in ST: TNG? Denise Crosby as Troi instead of Tasha Yar?
That’s unimaginable, even in a J.J. Abrams alternate universe.
Just give me my PC. We also build our own, replace parts, upgrade anytime we want. PC’s are getting nicer looking. My friend just got the new 19″ flat wide screen and the display is gorgeous! And, her new PC has Vista, and it is nice.
I haven’t tried Vista yet – I’m not willing to rock the boat.
Probably next year after a service pack or two.
