Team USA Basketball

54.1 percent of Americans want to see Team USA Basketball (men's) lose, according to an ESPN Page 2 Daily Quickie poll. Okay, so maybe some of that 54.1 percent isn't American, but the idea that a large number of Americans aren't happy with the men's team is sound. I was one of them; yes, I was one of them.

Kerry Really Pisses Me Off!!

Bush is smearing him, he claims. Bush's campaign is involved with the Swift Boat Veterans' 527 group, he claims. He's full of himself; but then, we know that already given as he is trying to flaunt those purple hearts, which he allegedly didn't earn in an honorable manner.

Some Weird PC Stuff

In a world (actually, at a time) when a huge focus is on trying not to offend anyone or even anything, everything from history to colloquialisms to things that are inescapable truths are under attack. Often, the truth hurts, political correctness says avoid any mention of that to make you feel better. As if that's going to make it go away; years of educational cartoons and sit-coms in the 80s have taught us that ignoring something will not make it go away.

This time, video games that make use of actual facts are the target.

What a Feeling...Revisited

Well, this past week my family was up visiting from Florida. We had a great time, visited many places, and overall enjoyed the company. Then, it ended, and a familiar feeling returned.

The Devil is Alive and He Wants the White House

John Kerry has sold his soul to the devil. He is an unrepentant sinner bound for hell. I say this not because I do not like him, but because I am concerned for him. He is lost in his sin and refuses to admit it is a sin and refuses a desire to change his life by the aid of the Holy Spirit.

In his saturday radio address, Sen John Kerry pledged to lift the restrictions on research if he becomes president and says the government should not "sacrifice science for ideology." His words on Monday, in Arizona, are even more frightening. "It is entirely within the ethical bounds to do embryonic stem cell research without violating one's beliefs at all about what life is or where it is and what matters," he said.

Here is a man who wears the label Roman Catholic (not very well, mind you, but then there are few who do) speaking on how it is "within the ethical bounds to do embryonic stem cell research without violating one's beliefs at all about what life is" when the church whose label he wears clearly states that life begins at conception and should be honored as life.

Hello! Mr. Kerry, these ethics violate your own beliefs about life...at least, the beliefs you associate yourself with with.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
Isaiah 5:20-21
You have wearied the LORD with your words. "How have we wearied him?" you ask. By saying, "All who do evil are good in the eyes of the LORD, and he is pleased with them" or "Where is the God of justice?"
Malachi 2:17
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
3 John 1:11

And you wonder why you are refused Holy Communion.

New Journal

I guess you could say I was inspired by comedian Bill Engvall. Anyway, I've created a new journal in which I showcase photographs we've taken (and maybe that I find) of funny or stupid signs. I've labeled it after Bill's famous slogan: "Here's Your Sign." Check it out below (click the link to it in the "About" section).

How John Kerry as President Frightens Me

If voted into the presidency, John Kerry would be the military commander-in-chief. He would be the "last man standing," as it were, in the chain of command in the military. I can't say I have any confidence in a man who is ashamed of his military career serving as the commander-in-chief.
