“Judge Alito, I am afraid that I must come right to the point. If confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, would you allow your personal beliefs and morals to dictate anything with regard to your behavior in office?” “Senator, thank you for this opportunity to address this important question right away. I have had a …
Tentative or Not?
I was pleased that Andrew Sandlin dropped the label postmodernism recently. But it is not enough to just change the label on the bottle. In a recent post, found here, Andrew continues to advance some of the most problematic aspects of the pomo agenda, as it continues to work its way into the Church. Andrew …
Going Around the Calvinist Bend
Check this out. Hilarious. Nowhere near as funny as the emergent one though.
Literature Spiraling Downward
“The rampant literary sleaziness-and make no mistake about it, we are talking about some pretty tacky humans-was almost accidental, a byproduct of institutionalized vacuity and timidity. Writers with nothing to write about invariably start covering themselves up with sex and gore, if only because they realize, almost instinctively, that those two subjects can be described …
A Heaped Up Book Table
Okay, so off to the right, I threw pretty much everything out onto the book table. There are some new things there as well, which I encourage you to look at. For example, take a look at Evangelical Feast Days, which is on the church year. I did all this because I am making the …
The Apologetic for Bad Art
“The first thing we must do is get the smoke out of our eyes. Which is to say that we must start afresh, and concede publicly what most earnest men and women have always conceded privately, that the ancient apology for bad art-“the work is shoddy and disjointed because The Times are shoddy and disjointed”-is …
Football
I think the football game last night was the best college football game I have ever seen. I was going for Texas over USC throughout (a kind of heartland/left coast thing), but by the end of the game, I wanted both teams to win. What a magnificent game.
Yes, Citizen Ament?
In the interest of lending a helping hand in difficult times, I would like to offer a short list of suggested motions for Citizen Ament to make at the next Moscow City Council meeting. If anyone needs a little context, they can check out the recordings of portions of the last meeting at Dale Courtney’s …
Just Breathtaking
Last night the new Moscow city council met for the first time, and after they were all sworn in, nice and tidy like, a new council member (Aaron Ament) made a motion to have a moratorium placed on all “conditional-use permit applications for all educational institutions and commerical schools in the downtown sector” The Lewiston …
The Root of Affectation
“Sir Henry Savile (one of the scholars who prepared the King James Version of the Bible) read the indictment, almost four centuries ago” ‘Vanity,’ he said, ‘is the sin, and affectation is the punishment: the first may be called the root of self-love, the other the fruit. Vanity is never at its full growth till …
