Quality interweb mischief from Jared Bridges
Did anybody notice Kerry’s gaffe when quoting the Scripture that is ever-so-meaningful to him? He said that the two most important commandments were to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, body, and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.” [emphasis mine] Compare this with an actual translation of Mark 12:30-31: And you … Read more
He got off to a rough start, but President Bush wins Debate III. He connected with Americans on a personal level when talking about his wife, his faith, and his stance on abortion. For Sen. Kerry, it was more of the same—he didn’t exactly breakdown, but he did look like a fish out of water … Read more
The sudden death of Ken Caminiti reminds me of how he was almost one of the baseball heroes of my youth. Sometime in the mid-to-late 1980’s, my parents took my brothers and I to an Atlanta Braves game at Fulton County Stadium. The Bravos happened to be playing the Houston Astros that night, and we … Read more
By any standards in the blogosphere, late Sunday night is far too late to be weighing in on a Friday night debate, but here’s my take: President Bush won this one handily. He was lively, coherent, and he doesn’t own a timber company. Kerry seemed repetive, saying, “George Bush rushed to war without a plan … Read more
Vols 19, Bulldogs 14 Tennessee has broken the recent “Georgia curse” with a stunning win in Athens, shunning the oddsmakers who predicted a 12.5 point Bulldog victory. In a very sloppy game where penalty-wrought Georgia went back and forth with a Tennessee team who missed three field goals, the Vol defense picked themselves up from … Read more
I caught an episode last night of Without A Trace, a mildly-entertaining FBI drama on CBS. Though the show focuses on kidnapping victims who vanish “without a trace,” there was more than a trace of hostility towards the pro-life position in last night’s show. The story was about a “Christian” family that was formerly involved … Read more
If you’re into horoscopes, a typical ice-breaker to conversation might be, “What’s your sign?” Ostensibly, if you know someone’s particular sign of the Zodiac, you already know a great deal about them. Many people read horoscopes with the same enthusiasm of reading a fortune cookie—they’re seen as merely forms of entertainment, never taken too seriously. … Read more
I thought it was funny that NBC decided to have some bloggers comment on tonight’s debate. Funny, in that they’ve just now caught on to the blogging phenomenon. It’s more than a little ironic that for the conservative blogger they chose John Hinderaker from Powerline—the blogger who started the RatherGate meltdown that led to CBS’s … Read more
Intitial VP debate reactions: Vice President Cheney wins this debate by a good stride. He was confident, assured, and looked a little more in command than Edwards. He hammered Edwards on many more points than President Bush did last week. The only downside was this debate went on way too long, and Cheney began to … Read more
The MoveOn PAC is currently sponsoring the “Vote for Change” concert tour, featuring a who’s who of rock stars. Rock star Alice Cooper had this to say about the group: “If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are,” … Read more
