Harry Reid Hits Bottom, Digs
It's the smell. Harry Reid says the Iraq War is still lost, and said he and General Petraeus were in agreement back when he said it - they just, uh, worded it differently. Oh, and there’s still a civil war in Iraq, and now there’s one in Israel because of Iraq.... [Read more...]

We got our new keyless locks, so not only is our home better secured from the lunatic who hates us, we have the added convenience of remote controls to get in. So if I’m bringing in groceries, it’s nice to just hit a remote control button to release the deadbolt. That was worth a couple hundred bucks, frankly. [Read more...]
A Day Late, Bible Reading Plans
A day late but not a dollar short, given that they’re all free… here are a variety of bible study reading plans. My husband and I are reading together (out loud!) the chronological bible. (Amazing, the things you have time for when you don’t have cable TV.) This is an actual printed bible like this one
2008
Everybody’s doing year-end wrapups and posting resolutions. I got nothin’. I did check to see how the year at Pursuing Holiness went - what did I write about the most? It’s one way to spot-check my spiritual life; I write about what I think about, and what I think about reveals my spiritual condition. So I listed my top-level categories and number of posts in Excel where charts are a click away and here’s the result:
Praying For My Enemy
The end of that twenty - actually when I did the math it was 26 - year friendship I mentioned has had an ugly twist. [Read more...]
Only Idiots Trash Their Spouses
Julie Baumgardner is surprised by the fact that people attack their spouses to their friends. I first noticed it when Roseanne was a popular television show, but attacks, blameshifting, and failure to take responsibility been going on since marriage began:
The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” (Genesis 3:12)
It’s not my fault - the problem is my spouse! But only a self-centered, thoughtless idiot will trash their spouse to other people. That kind of behavior indicates phenomenally bad judgment on several levels:
- If your complaints are 100% accurate, what kind of idiot are you for marrying that person? Should you be calling attention to that fact?
What I’m reading instead of working…
The Phenomenally Bad Judgment Award goes, once again, to Rick Warren.
More on the bad judgment front - What happens if NY and CA go bust? Remember the Cloward-Piven strategy? Something to think about, especially given that it’s been painfully obvious for some time that (absent some radical changes in fiscal behavior) this is inevitable.
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
I Need A Silent Night
I’ve had a fairly stress-free time Christmas shopping this year, largely because we’re not buying many presents. I got a few things online, and went to three stores. Done! But I still like this song a lot.

Harry Reid Hits Bottom, Digs

Harry Reid says the Iraq War is still lost, and said he and General Petraeus were in agreement back when he said it - they just, uh, worded it differently. Oh, and there’s still a civil war in Iraq, and now there’s one in Israel because of Iraq. And Lebanon. Iraq destabilized the middle east, you see. (Hamas and Hezbollah? Who’re they?) Iran’s “thumbing their nose” at “everybody.” If by “thumbing their nose” Reid means, supporting terrorists, then yes. But I don’t think that’s what he meant.
Gateway Pundit has video, transcripts, charty goodness and blistering commentary. Oh, and Reid referred to himself in the third person, the twit. Now if he could just drop out of sight to the extent that Bob Dole has… surely there’s more shady land deals in Nevada he could go conduct.

Another year of global warming?
Well, 2008 was another year of global warming, err, cooling. Watts Up With That has covered it extensively. The ice in Greenland is growing.

The left, as always, has a rather nuanced view of a just war where Israel is concerned. History is selective, actions when performed by one side are understandable, but retaliation completely out of bounds, and some people’s word is adequate - no verification needed; instant conventional wisdom!
No, what is interesting about the collective opinion of the Juicebox Mafia is the proposed rule of just war: Whoever kills more is the guilty party. This amounts to a total rejection of the distinction between aggression and self-defense and indeed the entire concept of deterrence. Taken to its logical conclusion, moral victory becomes impossible, because the moment one side has dispatched with a greater number of enemy than casualties have been suffered, justice has been forfeited. The only means of ethical conduct is pure immolation — which is indeed the prescription for Israel, which is expected to behave as the only true Christian nation on earth, responding to attacks by endlessly turning the other cheek.
Why does he call the left the The Juicebox Mafia? No idea. But it’s certainly funny. Read it all.

Rick Warren’s Buddies Bringing Back Crucifixion
Crucifixion is now legal. What’s this have to do with Rick Warren? His buddies at Islamic Society of North America, recent guests at his church, are unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial. And the group they support, Hamas, just made crucifixion legal, along with a whole lot more - sharia will be implemented by the Palestinian Authority.
Give yourself a big pat on the back for building that unity, Pastor Warren!
The media thinks Obama is hawt!
“The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games.”
Tawdry romance novel? No. The Washington Post. The media’s Tiger Beat coverage of Obama is more sickening by the day. All that’s lacking is a Jonas Brothers soundtrack. And this article, lauding his workout routines, is especially nauseating in contrast to media coverage of President Bush’s fitness regimen. They have no shame.
I was going to photoshop Obama’s head onto a Fabio romance novel cover, but then I figured it wasn’t worth the effort - the media coverage is too close to what the photoshop would look like to make it funny.
