Mrs. Hornesdotorgslashmark has informed me that my template is evil. I realize now I should have snagged a different template before Jandy grabbed it, but now it is too late because nothing is more tacky in blogdom, I think, than taking the template of someone on your blogroll. The problem is that I [...]

OK, unlike Ms. Schlafly, for whom I have great respect, I’m not bothered in principle about letting Mexican truckers on our highways. I can think of a host of complications which I hope the Bush Administration was concerned about. But in principle I think the greater freedom we allow for people to travel and [...]

In celebration of the exquisite pleasure of learning about the international market for ethanol while listening to NPR while driving a few children from school to various places, I think I will post some links from the Cato Institute:

The Hugo finalists are announced.  Looking at the categories, it just now hit me that the genre that is probably not the most popular in books quite dominates the movies….
If V for Vendetta wins anything, I will be sure to denounce the Hugo awards here.

When I last wrote on the Heidelberg Catechism, I concluded with an observation about my own Presbyterian doctrinal heritage: “People often claim the Westminster Confession and Catechisms are substantially different on this point, but that is a myth.”
Like the Heidelberg Catechism, the Westminster Catechisms teach the persons catechized to regard themselves as Christians and chosen [...]

Well, in many ways as decrepit as ever. And still not over my cold. But, for the first time in a long, long time, I am binging on fiction. Several books at once without losing interest in any of them.
And I haven’t updated the side bar yet, so you’ll have to read [...]

See here for the link.  I mention it because I think sometimes a pastor or a church governing board needs a concrete piece of evidence to see how something can help a church website….

There are more, but I’m probably already pushing the edge of the envelope by linking blogs I don’t know much about. I’ll do some more Dobson-Thomas links later.
But I have [...]

At the heart of the reforms lies the classical liberal tax theory according to which lower taxes translates into increased tax revenues. Therefore, it is an interesting historic irony that Russia, a country where the socialist creed reigned strong still very recently, has now been converted into the international showcase of economic liberalism. In America [...]

just look at the stupid spokesmen he gives us. Since I’ve been getting all nostalgic about the Reagan era, I suppose I should admit to the aspects that I wish would die more quietly.

Apparently not. At least not from this rescue party.
This is a three way interview between Al Mohler a prominant and well-spoken calvinistic Southern Baptist, John Piper, another Baptist (nonSBC) who proves himself a gentleman toward Wright early on, and Lig Duncan, one of the leading PCA Purgists and a great preacher.

For instance, it never occurred to me in my wildest dystopian dream that I would ever read the following defense of government action, outside of a libertarian novel:

We must make the building of a free society once more an intellectual adventure, a deed of courage. What we lack is a liberal Utopia, a programme which seems neither a mere defence of things as they are nor a diluted kind of socialism, but a truly liberal radicalism which does not spare the susceptibility [...]
