New Disqus Comments plugin
In a nutshell I want people to be able to leave comments without me having to "approve" them - they appear immediately. But I also want to keep out spam. The anti-spam module for some reason was marking all comments - including my own - as spam. I have since added the Disqus plugin which hopefully will allow anyone with a free Disqus account to be able to leave comments that appear immediately. So far it appears to be working nicely.-

Why (election) polls anyway?
According to the pre-election polls Sen Obama has already won. Perhaps that is the point. Why do we have these election polls anyway? Nothing inherently wrong with them of course. And they do measure how well a candidate is doing … Continue reading

Charles Krauthammer – Better to lose with McCain than be dreadfully wrong with Obama
Once again Krauthammer says what needs to be said and well. What I appreciate is how Krauthammer illuminates what can only be described as the rank hypocrisy of the Obama campaign. What do I mean? I mean the accusations against … Continue reading
The Presiding Bishop is not entirely wrong about everything
Pentheus. Pharaoh. Oven Mitt. Balrog. These are some of the unflattering and not terribly respectful comparisons and epithets I have used to describe Katharine Jefferts-Schori the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. (Okay – not balrog. I love Tolkien too … Continue reading

Orson Scott Card calls journalists on the carpet for their lack of honor

Michael Medved nails it – What McCain must do to win
The title of the piece is “Two Inescapable Truths” which are: The economy is the “only” issue right now in the presidential election. The public does not understand or trust the solutions being put forward to the current economic crisis. … Continue reading
