Movies and marriage

If you haven’t yet started listening to the Nuclearity podcasts, start today. Hugh Duncan does a great job in producing an interesting, informative, and provocative (in the Hebrews 10 sense) 15 minutes. Especially good is his “You Love a Lucy” series on marriage. Very helpful. In part 2 of the series Duncan addresses the issue [...]
Here’s why

Some wonder why there are others of us out here on the frontier who are in favor of common citizens (hunters AND non-hunters) being allowed to carry weapons of self-defense. Here’s a video which gives part of the rationale for why we think this is a grand idea.
The video is a portion of the testimony [...]

Les Choristes

The Chorus is a movie that has been making the rounds among some of our members but I just got to watch it a couple of nights ago — and I’m glad I did. It’s the story of a failed musician turned school teacher (Clement Mathieu) who takes the position of prefect at a French [...]
Blood Meridian redux
Posted in Cormac McCarthy, let's kill everybody on June 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Harold Bloom is trying to talk me into liking Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian.
I don’t think it’s going to work, though I’m willing to listen.
I think the book is better than my first impression, though.
Maybe I was so overwhelmed by the violence, I wasn’t able to think straight.
Maybe.
Weird creatures of the deep

Ok, this one is not from the “deep” but still, he’s pretty good, no? Here’s Mr. “Look at me, I look just like the obnoxious happy face you still see everywhere even though it’s not cool anymore”
Really crazy-weird creatures

Over the past fifty years or so with the development of remote control exploration vehicles and equipment that is able to take pictures and unheard of depths in the ocean, we’ve been finding all sorts of creatures that we never knew existed. Amazing, crazy-wild, hilarious creatures who’ve existed for thousands of years without any eye [...]

Final notes from The Talent Code: A few random observations and quotes.
Studies show that the baby-brain DVDs don’t make children smarter. In fact, they dumb your children down. Baby-brain DVDs don’t work because they don’t create deep practice, rather, they prevent it. They prevent it by taking up time that could be used for doing [...]

Once again, more notes from The Talent Code: After studying some of the world’s most successful coaches in various fields, Coyle has devised a list of the “skills” needed to coach effectively. He calls them the “Four Virtues of Master Coaches”:
First: The Matrix — A great teacher has the capacity to always take his student [...]
What’s wrong with this picture?

Ok, just one more thing regarding the stuff swirling around the murder of Dr. George Tiller. Time magazine reports that a portrait of the famous abolitionist John Brown occupies “a place of honor” at the state capitol in Topeka. Really? huh and whaddayaknow.
You know John Brown, right? John Brown was that really crazy guy back [...]
Ann gets it
Posted in abortion, hypocrisy that would gag a maggot on June 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I haven’t said anything here about the huge flap over the murder of the notorious late-term abortionist, Dr. George Tiller. Really, I had nothing to add that hadn’t already been said (and said better than I could have) by many, many others. Of course “vigilante” justice is wrong and contrary to God’s law. Rather than [...]

This morning President Obama gave an speech at Cairo University in which he proposed “a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world.” Along the way, he gave out some real eyebrow raisers:
In speaking about the history of Islam, Obama said: “And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds [...]
