What is More Boring Than American TV?

I watch only a bit of television.  I’d prefer to read a book or bang at the computer or just about anything else but watch the boob-tube.  My son, Joe, is teaching in Taiwan for a year and has a posting on his blog a narrated video of his TV experience there.  Here’s the link.

Iraq is Vietnam, or Not

In perhaps one of his better speeches on the Iraq war, President Bush reviewed the history of previous American foes and wars including the war against Japan, the Korean War and Vietnam.  And of course the Democrats, who have already compared Iraq to Vietnam, are outraged that the President would make such an analogy.  From [...]

The depths to which the liberal elites will descend in the name of religious “tolerance” is truly breathtaking. Oh, I don’t mean tolerance to religion generally. Rather selective “tolerance” to those oppressed minorities. In Scotland, doctors and health workers are now forbidden to eat at their desks during the month of Ramadan so as not [...]

“Politically Incorrect” Benedict XVI

Something was strange at a recent meeting.  She just had that look as if I had done something wrong.  She is my partner, a very very nice Evangelical Christian, with whom I have had several discussions about religion over the past several years.  After the meeting, she pulled out a newspaper clipping “reporting” Pope Benedict’s recent comments [...]
