  • Eeek! SUV causes Tornado!

    It is no secret that I’m not a giant fan of political cartoons… even when I ‘get it – I generally don’t find them compelling, or advancing ideas.  I don’t like mean-spirited satire enough to avoid most of it.  On the other hand, I love to be proven wrong. To [...]

  • 21st Century Culture and Uncompromised Love

    Tis the season to be jolly… and reflect on the year that has come and gone, with whispers and bangs and magic and reality.  Here is my year and a few reflections on the State of our Union. I am an American. An optimist. An unrepentant Republican. I don’t consider myself [...]

  • Talking to Jesus: Sarah Palin and Naomi Wolf

    Number of comments: 1
    As most folks know, I am not exactly former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s biggest, most ardent fan.  She’s a capable, and welcome, addition to the ‘Culture-warrior’ class (thanks Bill O’Reilly for that catch phrase) and a best selling author.  In that role, I am happy to watch her develop, grow [...]

    Governance is a funny thing.  All campaign promises fade into the history books – to be replaced by new, slightly more realistic promises after the oath of office is administered.  Rare exceptions occur – and they become the “obstacles” on which many a politican has stumbled, bumbled, and flipped over.
