Tuesday Highlights

Good morning.

Wordplay for your morning (or whatever time you read this).
Church and science, one view.
Left vs Right and the extremes.
Diversity and scarfing blood.
Modesty.
al-Qaeda … imploding?
An add regarding Mr Obama and his pro-abortion stance. Also, comparing candidates openness.
Geek-tech … finding guilt.
Fear of God … and its benefits.
In the wake of the recent big bank kerfuffle … “high test hooey” from Mr Obama.
On the banking thing again … why it’s really a good thing.
Kill them? Why not just change the channel? Is that really too difficult?
Being there (a movie I much liked), and words from pilgrimage.
Being bi-partisan.
Zizek hasn’t got it right. I think his objection masks an underlying assumption that there is no God.
Examining ads.
Voting fraud.
Mr Obama and the law of the land.
Very cute.

Super Bowl Thoughts III February 9, 2010
I guess I'm going to turn this into an annual tradition, writing about the Super Bowl. I'm even getting all pretentious about it and marking them with Roman numerals, just as the NFL does. So sue me. First off, it was a terrific game. Congrats to the New Orleans Saints, a true Cinderella story of a team that seemed a perpetual cellar dweller that c […]

Miraculous Healing, Exhibit A: Me (or "The Reason I Fasted") February 9, 2010
I have Multiple Sclerosis, and have had it for a bit over 23 years. The first episode I had numbed the left half of my body from the shoulder to the foot. With medication it went almost entirely away, with just some slight lingering numbness in my left hand that I could handle. Other smaller episodes of it coming and going occurred for some years after th […]

Not Human Rights February 9, 2010
My son (the student, not the soldier) sent me this link, and tells me I should quote Ben Dror Yemini more often than I do. Yemini is a Tel-Aviv lawyer turned centrist pundit with a sharp pen and a regular column in Maariv. The problem is, he writes Hebrew, and even when he gets translated (here's an archive of his translated articles), much of his argum […]

The Development Of The Canon (Part 3) February 9, 2010
Dave Armstrong writes:At the Council of Nicaea, according to Protestant apologist Norman Geisler (How we Got the Bible, with co-author William E. Nix, Chicago: Moody Press, 1974, 109), the books of James, 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, and Jude, were "named as disputed." Geisler seems, however (based on his comments on p. 111), to merely be talking about t […]

Recasting Avatar February 9, 2010
The VC has already brought attention to one property rights interpretation of a tale generally thought to be left-leaning (The Lorax). Today, Ilya Somin points to another example of the genre: David Boaz on Avatar: Conservatives have been very critical of the Golden Globe-winning film “Avatar” for its mystical melange of trite leftist themes. But what they h […]
