  • Not too in love with the President right now…

    “When the Texas Rangers [professional baseball] opportunity came along [1989], Bush was a man of modest wealth….Young Bush got on the telephone and raised money from truly wealthy investors to buy the team. He bought a two-percent stake for $600,000 using borrowed money….
    “One of the first moves was to threaten to move the Rangers out […]

    Day in the life of a freelancer

    Totally brilliant.
    But if my spouse gets a 100k/yr job, I’m quitting.

    My first (partial) book gig ever

    Here’s the cover, and here is George’s commendation.  As he says, I came into the project especially for the chapter on nineteenth century missions.  It was an honor to be part of it because, for a small book, it was in my view an important one.
    I have been bothering Jay about producing a generic form […]

    The two-step problem with the “Imputation of the Active Obedience” slogan

    It leaves one completely mystified as to why Christ had to die.
    It then generates nuclear-physics level complication in rationalization explanation as to how the basic Gospel is compromised by anyone who doesn’t promote IAO.

    I think there IAO makes sense within the comprehensive claims of Christ as representative head, but that isn’t strong enough for the […]

    Ramble: free-market ideal of individual economic freedom has to be a novelty

    Individual economic freedom: I’m all for it, being me and all.
    But I doubt it had that much relevance to, say, the American Revolution (which I think counts as a revolution because, rather than fighting the king to force him to acknowledge their rights, they simply cut off the king to enforce their rights for themselves–I’m […]

    Instead of blogging

    I’m not sure how often I will be blogging here (I’m not promising anything, just noticing. If you want to keep up with me, this might be much more productive. It is also on the side bar. I’m at the point that I’m thinking of letting people know on tumblr when I […]

    This got through my ego-surfing net

    From Doug Wilson:
    He begins with a discussion of his appreciation of systematic theology, and likes the fact that I believe systematics are inescapable, which I certainly do. Connected to this is Lane’s appreciation of the Protestant scholastics. He likes what I said about this general topic, but takes other FV guys to task for disparaging […]

    Retraction: John Perkins on Economic Enslavement

    I quoted this entry because the bare economics sounded plausible.  But Paul Duggan sent me this link and now I’m highly doubtful.  In any case, I’m more interested in a discussion of economic systems than alleged conspiracies.

    If I could collaborate with Kipling…

    Here are some notes I jotted down. I was thinking about filling in some gaps I perceive.
    If you can call the good you get a blessing–
    Give thanks for it as being heaven-sent
    But never let the bad your mind start messing
    Or make you doubt that all things are well-meant
    If you can stand before all with […]

    How to prove you are unfit to be a “school official”

    Katherine’s mother, Margarita DeLeon, who was contacted by school officials shortly after the incident, said that her daughter didn’t like being hit but that she quickly forgot about it. “We didn’t pay attention to it, because we know it’s just children playing around,” she said. “He didn’t mean anything by it. I’m upset with the […]

    Theology is not an excuse to exalt nonsense

    Whenever anyone says or hears that one “receives justification by faith,” the expression ought to immediately call for further explanation or else a question about how that makes any sense.
    Because forensic verdicts are not simply received by faith.  It is nonsense unless it is a shorthand for a more basic reality.
    Think about it.  We say […]
