Whoops
This is what happens when you hate first and ask questions later. (H/T Jonah Goldberg)

  1. I have no real horse in this race, but it is odd that things like this happen: "But the Associated Press assigned eleven reporters to “fact-check” her book, while doing nothing like that to fact-check then-candidate Obama’s or current Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s no doubt riveting book." - one of the reasons I'm glad I don't have to pay any attention...
  2. This comment from Jonah Goldberg is priceless: "Indeed, some of us will always be sympathetic to Mrs. Palin if for nothing else than her enemies. The bile she extracts from her critics is almost like a dye marker, illuminating deep pockets of asininity that heretofore were either unnoticed or underappreciated."
  3. What I could never get is why they advertised Obama as an intellectual archetype. To me he reminded me more of a "Boss Tweed's pet"("Hope, Change, Hope, Change, now what in the world does that mean?"). I could get how they managed to advertise Sarah as a Hardy "Jane Wayne" Frontierswoman. I guess what you "get" is what you get.
  4. That is such a hoot! And people get so blinded they can't even see, as they start reading the comments, that Sarah Palin did not write it. Barak Obama did! Great, great lab on how some people get so blinded by preconceptions and - yes - prejudice - that they cannot see the truth of the matter when it is right under their noses!

  • The Horrible Things

    Like Gina, I was struck when I read Mark Earley's BreakPoint commentary today--about doing the right thing no matter what, in the face of horrible things.

  • That's More Like It

    I'm glad to see that the New York Review of Books has a more grown-up take on the pervasive and pernicious practice of prison rape than the Oscars did. (Warning: Disturbing descriptions.)

  • Something's Missing

    Let's play "Terry Mattingly," shall we? The New York Times tells us that Muslim attacks on Christians in Nigeria were "apparently in reprisal for similar attacks on Muslims in January." However, the story doesn't tell us a blessed thing about those alleged "similar attacks." How many did they kill? What were the circumstances? Why did Christian Beroms attack Fulani herders? Nada, zip, bupkes.

  • Millennials Have Lousy Church Attendance

    Sociologist Robert Wuthnow says one in five previously churched (18 to 29 year olds) has stopped attending church. A major reason for the shift is that these adults (or quasi-adults) are marrying later.

    Another problem is that while the church youth groups keep their young parishioners busy doing youthy things, the pastors are neglecting to inculcate them with “in-depth” biblical teaching.

  • The Olfactory and Christianity

    My family assures me that my sense of smell is both a blessing and curse. My olfactory sense is excellent: I can sniff out the smallest hints of things in the air or food. My summation is that a lot of things are stinky. You want to find out what herbs or spices someone used in a dish, call me. You want to know if food is on the cusp of spoiling, I’m the girl for you.

  • Pastoral putdowns

    If it takes at least three examples to make a trend, as the saying goes, I've been noticing a trend lately that disturbs me. I'm speaking of the video clips that keep popping up online of pastors insulting various groups within the Christian church.
