Judge Orders Polygamist Kids Freed – I Told Ya’ It Wasn’t Right

Judge Orders Polygamist Kids Freed – I Told Ya’ It Wasn’t Right

I had blogged that I was bothered by the Texas police raid on that polygamist compound, where it seemed ludicrous that the People’s Republic of Texas could go into these private citizens’ homes on an anonymous tip and take their children away with no evidence… and even the “tip” implied that it was only the [...]

They Destroyed My Reputation Says Hooker (!?)

They Destroyed My Reputation Says Hooker (!?)

According to a story today, New York’s darling-est whore, Ashley Alexandra Dupré, is suing Joe Francis, the maker of “Girls Gone Wild” (GGW). If you don’t remember, I blogged about Ashley Dupré in March when she took down Eliot Spitzer… in the political sense. Now, that GGW guy Joe Francis is scum for sure… but [...]

Compassion, Poverty, and Politics

Compassion, Poverty, and Politics

The following is a discussion snippet from Compassion International’s blog. They recently had a blog post debating transparency versus marketing with respect to the best direction for the content of their blog. During the conversation I ran into Ashleigh, a 21-yr-old schoolgirl who seemed full of inexperience and strong opinions. For example, she touted environmental [...]

Iron Man – Great Movie (with just a few gripes by me)

Iron Man – Great Movie (with just a few gripes by me)

I just saw Iron Man at the theater. You’ll read some of my criticisms here, but all in all it was a fun and exhilarating cinematic ride. Oh yeah… minimal spoilers, so relax (in case you don’t read comic books)! The Acting This was a pure gem for Robert Downey Jr. as he masterfully filled [...]

Earth Day 2008 – What can you do?

Earth Day 2008 – What can you do?

It’s Earth Day 2008 and everyone is talking green – despite the ridiculously hypocritical nature [pun] of it all. I’m not big on the greenies or their leftist propaganda… but I do like this big rock we’re living on. I like it because the chances of a rock just like this to support any complex [...]

Why I’m Bothered By the Texas Polygamist Police Raid

Why I’m Bothered By the Texas Polygamist Police Raid

It’s been a few weeks since the April 3 police raid on a Mormon breakaway sect that had a Texas ranch (called Yearning for Zion) where several families lived and worked in societal seclusion. They were also practicing polygamy and pubescent marriage – both of which are Biblical (in historicity) and fit with these people’s [...]

Charlton Heston, RIP

Charlton Heston, RIP

Charlton Heston, famed actor, constitutional rights advocate, and patriot, died Saturday night at the age of 84. Heston was the quintessential iconic male… using his rugged face and deep voice to play all manner of heroes and leaders – Marc Antony, John the Baptist, Moses, Ben-Hur to name a few. Of course, Heston was better [...]

FITNA Video Shows Islamic Appeasement Means NO MORE FREE SPEECH

FITNA Video Shows Islamic Appeasement Means NO MORE FREE SPEECH

As an American I love Europe. I love Europe because they’re on point. They’re on the cutting edge of “Oh crap, our land is filled with Muslim extremists!” They’re a sadistic social experiment that gives us in the States an idea of what will happen to us if when we let it. So the Dutch [...]

Eliot Spitzer Goes Bye-bye

Eliot Spitzer Goes Bye-bye

Eliot Spitzer resigned his post as Governor of New York State in the wake allegations surrounding his involvement in a prostitution ring. [wikipedia - may be graphic] [AP] This scandal has really rocked New York politics, and living in Albany it’s all we’ve heard on the news this week. Here’s the short version: Spitzer serves [...]

Freedom and Obesity

Freedom and Obesity

So I was at the grocery store in the frozen food aisle picking up some vegetables. I catch a glimpse of this grossly obese man down the aisle a ways, with ridiculously over-sized sweats hugging his mammoth torso. He was over 400 pounds for sure. He was holding the the door open (pet peeve of [...]
