Russian youth: Stalin good, migrants must go
In thinking about the recent poll Russian youth: Stalin good, migrants must go, one is reminded of the following concerning another brutal Russian tyrant, Ivan the Terrible: By the 1580's Russian society had assumed the essential shape it was to retain until 1861; despite war and revolution vestiges of it have survived until today. During …

Next Time, Hire a Real Indian
The lesson of the Ward Churchill saga Ward Churchill Saga is simple: if you want real ethnic diversity and the viewpoints that come with it, hire someone with real non-white background. Living in "Cherokee Country," the University of Colorado would have had a better shot at this if they had walked into just about any …
TitusOneNine – A Tech Update from Greg Griffith re: a Denial of Service attack on the SF/T19 server
Earlier this year, in the post Create Your Own Anglican Communion Network I said the following: Note that your computer can pick up more than your own router. This works both ways, and illustrates our next point: you need to set up your wireless network with whatever security you can manage, otherwise a TEC revisionist …
Maybe It’s Time to Emigrate
Lydia Playfoot's loss of her legal action to wear a chastity ring brings to mind two previous posts: Liberals and Sex Go Together (her opponents) What They Really Don’t Like is the Chastity. Don’t Like the Free Speech Either. (previous direct comment on the subject) But it also brings up something else, this time from …

The One Thing They Forgot to Tell Us
The death of Tammy Faye Bakker Messner--and her tumultuous life and career--is a reminder that the greatest weakness of "prosperity teaching" is that it never tells you how to handle the success it brings. Two years ago I discussed the whole business of unrealistic expectations wrapped in defective methodologies, another weakness of this kind of …
Yahweh in the Morning: Our God is Our King
People who attended any of the conferences--youth and leaders---at the Catholic Charismatic (and Franciscan) University of Steubenville in the early 1980's will remember the group Emmanuel. Our podcast this week kicks off Emmanuel's second album, Yahweh in the Morning, with the track Our God is Our King. Yahweh in the Morning (EM002) was released in …

A Good Reason Why Stocks Are Going Up
I suspected this for some time, but now this from Jack Crooks, Black Swan Trading: In the chart below it shows the Dow Jones Industrial Average (black line) compared to the Dow Jones Industrial Average Multiplied by the US$ Index (red line), both are a monthly price series. What we noticed is despite the very …
The Catholic Calendar Script
One of the more popular features of this site is the Anglican Calendar Script, which announces the current liturgical event (Sunday, saint's day, etc.) according to the traditional Anglican liturgical scheme. I've gotten requests to expand it to include other liturgical calendars (TEC, RCC, etc.) Well, it looks like another has risen to the challenge. …
