Odd, Garfield without Garfield

Garfield without the cat, makes for one lonely Jon.
I wonder what would happen to Calvin and Hobbes if Hobbes was eliminated?

Luther-proof texting or falling in love?

As I sit here writing an essay "Why Does Christ Show Up in the Supper," while finishing off a Sam Adams, I wonder to myself. On one hand getting the opportunity to read a lot of good Lutheran theology and study under someone who knows what the heck Luther is all about is wonderful, I would unashamedly describe Confessions as "Falling in love with Luther again for the first time." At the same time the more I enmesh myself in Luther's arguments the more I find myself resorting to "proof texting" essentially just citing Luther and moving on.
No grand point here, just thought I'm mention that this style of discourse going against my own better judgement, I'm all about discovering things on my own terms. Yeah, I guess I might just be on the wrong side of the Enlightenment. My parents didn't raise no stinkin' proof texter!

William F. Buckley is dead

A conservative to the bone. I knew him first through his son, Christopher Buckley, the satirical author. Later in reading his own National Review. He was a thinker if nothing else.

Dodd endorses Obama... Now if Biden does too Obama seals up the white haired old man vote!

In other words the establishment candidates are starting to back Obama, not Clinton. Interesting. I think they want this contest done, so the two fighting don't give too much ammo to McCain.
