Good morning. Again chilly here, -5 F but it’s expected to get to a balmy 20, hoohah! Break out the sunscreen, goggles, and shorts?
- An old draft (not mine!) finally posted, on Dawkin’s little book. This is interesting for the notion, I hadn’t seen, that one of Mr Dawkin’s primary criticisms of religion of the divisions in the Church, i.e., the idea that Church separates not brings together.
- Yon, with a little more epistemic weight than the ordinary Joe (or newsman or pundit for that matter), on Petraeus reassignment.
- Cranmer lays out
the, err, his case for conservatism. - Fun with captions, heh.
- A 4th century ecumenical poem.
- More poetry, modern?
- Anti-catholic intimations and the pro-life march. In this the slogan “rosaries off my ovaries”. As a slogan, while this rhymes … I don’t think it makes sense.
- Kansas and grace.
- TV and time. TV as idiot-box.
- Iraq noted (a briefing) and an article and cautionary note from Yon. I think the safest assumption is that the Conventional Wisdom of both “sides” is fraught with error and simplistic sloganizing.
- The Lucifer effect. One thing noted at the bottom of this piece, there is a reverse Lucifer effect that the experiment can be recast prompting heroism not evil from us. One wonders if that could be used to good effect regarding the Pontius Pilate pro-choice argument.
- An endorsement, well that and a buck can buy you a soda.
- Blood transplant.
- A hack.
- An empatic rejection and/or reaction.
- Saul to Paul and the wolf and the Lamb.
- Reading and method, some suggestions.
- Two interesting graphic treatments, one silly, one not.
- Finally, a book release.
