A professor and friend of mine does an interview about Good and Evil!

Go Dr. Falk!

Life Goes On, by Philip Gulley

So I'm writing an essay for Christian Education and I am NOT going to recommend this book as a resource for teaching in a parish setting, but I will recommend it as a fun read, especially for those in the ministry and those who know someone in the ministry. It's funny, sincere, and satire. A nice balance.
Peace,
Chris

Too Funny!

I went to watch Barack speak and got my pants torn off

Okay, maybe it wasn't as bad as that sounds.
A bunch of Seminarians/faculty and I got up real early in order to wait in line to listen to Sen. Obama. He, along with several state politicians, did a wonderful job, and we went to leave. So we are going out of the park along with at least a few thousand other people, and Dr. Gafney decides we can get out quicker if we jump the fence. Very true. And being former military she jumped the fence with style, probably liberated a few Kuwaities in the process. Then I try to get over the fence, I feel my pants catching, but I figure they will work themselves off... and they did, sort of. My pocket ripped off, so I wander back to my car with my jacket wrapped around my waist as to avoid the whole world seeing my whitie tighties.
Peace,
Chris

Christopher Buckley endorses Obama

Interesting yes? Well... I think so. We are seeing realignment. Rove and his kind went too far with too little and the bough of the tree has broke, knocking loose not only libertarians but also the intellectual corner of conservatism.

A quote I need a source for

Who said, "Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom of God and we got the church instead,"?

The lie for which Palin must be punished

As some of my long time readers know Darfur is a big deal to me--stopping genocide is a big deal to me. In fact one of the main reasons I backed Richardson was his intense involvement in this issue. And so, during the debate when Palin said she'd pushed for divestment from Sudan as Governor of Alaska I was honestly impressed.
Unfortunately it turns out she did not push for divestment, in fact she tried to BLOCK divestment from Sudan.
In short, "The [Palin] administration killed our bill."
In addition McCain's wife holds 2 million dollars worth of investment in the Sudan.
I'm sorry but this truly can not stand.
Peace,
Chris

Eviction suicide

This seemed pretty horrible, a 92 year old woman had her house foreclosed on and was going to be evicted. Instead of getting booted out she shot herself twice in the chest.
