Sailing the Last Voyage with Newton and Pascal
After my post on what a real community organiser looks like, I'm glad that Rep. Steve Cohen (D, TN) comes from the other end of the state. He informs us that "Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor."Â Although it's an obvious shot at …

This, from Art Rhodes: As one of the handful of lawyers that participated in the Florida recount back in 2000, I am amazed that we have gone from a few dozen lawyers on each side to 7,000+ lawyers on each side. Even in Ohio during the 2004 Presidential election, on the Republican side there were only about …

New York Governor David Paterson thinks that calling Barack Obama a community organiser is a racist slur: "I think the Republican Party is too smart to call Barack Obama 'black' in a sense that it would be a negative. But you can take something about his life, which I noticed they did at the Republican …
I agree with Rogers Holding CEO Jim Rogers that the Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae takeovers are socialistic: "America is more communist than China is right now," Rogers told CNBC Europe's "Squawk Box Europe" September 8. "You can at least have a free market in housing and a lot of other things in China. And you can …
This from Abu Daoud: Folks always say they want someone who can deal with the Islamic nations intelligently and who understands them. Someone like Palin who actually BELIEVES in her religion, unlike pseudo-Catholic VP nominee Joe Biden who supports abortion rights, is that kind of person. My experience indicates in a very solid way that …
I've griped about the high incarceration rate in the U.S., and now I have company: The United States has crossed, for the first time, a dismal threshold: One out of every 100 American adults is in prison, according to the Pew Center on the States. Five states have reached the point where they are spending …
Back in February I wrote a piece entitled John McCain: My Father's Conservative, where I chided many Republicans who would rather see a Democrat elected rather than vote for McCain. Thanks be to God, the Republican Party has gotten past that, and done so in a glorious way. In the process it has seen McCain …

Evidently the Bishop of Durham, N.T. Wright, isn't happy with Dr. Deborah Pitt's revelation of the Archbishop of Canterbury's letters to her concerning committed homosexual relationships, as she has responded in Anglican Samizdat (also here as well.) It has given me great pain to be doing this, to even care about these things. Do you …
This week's podcast is a video presentation of the healing of Meredith Vining Parker, who made a miraculous recovery after a heart attack subsequent to the birth of her daughter. The testimony took place at the Sunday morning worship service of the North Cleveland Church of God on 31 August 2008. Introducing Meredith and her …
This, from Sarah Palin's speech earlier this evening at the Republican National Convention: Senator McCain's record of actual achievement and reform helps explain why so many special interests, lobbyists, and comfortable committee chairmen in Congress have fought the prospect of a McCain presidency - from the primary election of 2000 to this very day. Our …
