Sailing the Last Voyage with Newton and Pascal
"A Thinking Democrate" states the obvious in her reply to the story on the last Clinton-Obama debate: When Hillary was asked how did she represent change in this election, her answer was that she is a woman. Come one....give me a break. If thats all we needed in this country for change we could elect …

Honestly, I thought that American conservatism had taken leave of its senses when Ann Coulter blurted out that she would vote for Hillary Clinton over John McCain. The truth is, she and other conservatives are working under grievously false assumptions: She assumes that Hillary would direct the force of anti-terrorism against Islamicist groups. But liberals …
There's been very little said in the Evangelical press about the election of a committed Christian, Lee Myung-bak, as President of the Republic of Korea. Given our current woes with our own "Evangelical," this may be understandable. His position has caused some consternation with non-Christians in Korea (which make up 70% of the population.) But …
This week's podcast is Every Step I Take from Brian McLaren's album Learning How To Love, which is available from Heavenly Grooves. Ken Scott, the Archivist for "Jesus Music," wondered who had ever heard of Brian McLaren. Well, many, as it turns out, for now he listed as one of Time Magazine's top 25 evangelical …

Personally, I think both of those candidates have electibility issues in the general election. And they look determined to cripple each other before the Democratic Convention. …

I've documented some of Ann Coulter's voting problems in Palm Beach here and here. Now Rush Limbaugh can't quite get the hang of it: On his syndicated talk show this afternoon, Limbaugh said he was trying to vote in today’s primary when the screen seemed to freeze or “stick” on the list of presidential candidates. …

A couple of weeks ago, I opined the following: ...the whole Evangelical game plan for life is well suited to get people off of the very bottom of society and equally ill-suited to get them to the very top. People who posit George W. Bush as an example of the contrary forget that a) he …

Mark Finkelstein wonders the following: I'm measuring my words carefully. Harry Smith has raised the possibility that Barack Obama's life could be in danger... When you tell a man with Ted Kennedy's family history that "you well know" about politicians becoming "targets," the implication is unmistakable. This time, Kennedy [to his credit I would say] …
Alan Comes thought that Dick Morris had lost his mind when Morris stated that Bill and Hillary were running a race based campaign against Barack Obama (as Morris outlines below): If Hillary loses South Carolina and the defeat serves to demonstrate Obama’s ability to attract a bloc vote among black Democrats, the message will go …
