A static timeless world

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Notice the premise:
In fact, the true cost of government programs, especially public investment, is much lower now than in more prosperous times. When the economy is booming, public investment competes with the private sector for scarce resources — for skilled construction workers, for capital. But right now many of the workers employed on infrastructure projects [...]

Lord’s Day thought

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

If you read the Bible as a book primarily concerned with sin and forgiveness you will not understand the Bible.

Guess the context

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Jennifer came up with the idea of this game, and I have to offer one of my own.
“That’s not a rock.”
Guess the context.

Why the rent-a-car industry is a corrupt, disgusting, fraudulant, manifestation of organized crime

Friday, December 26th, 2008

Of course, I’m writing about the rent-a-car industry in general, because I doubt what I have to say is unique to one company in particular.  But the company I especially have in mind, on this day, the twenty-sixth of December, is Budget.
Say you want to take your family on Christmas vacation.  Say, further, that you [...]

Replacing our toxic assets with His own real wealth

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

St. Athanasius gives us our Christmas meditation for 2008:
As we have already noted, it was unthinkable that God, the Father of Truth, should go back upon His word regarding death in order to ensure our continued existence. He could not falsify Himself; what, then, was God to do? Was He to demand repentance from men [...]

Amazing sermon on Evangelism from an atheist

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

It is amazing how easy care for people can degenerate into care about looking cool and not being disruptive because you don’t want to resemble some psycho zealot.  I wonder if Penn has any idea how many Christians he will cut to the quick by this little presentation.  May God remind us all that our [...]

Monopolizing hating thy neighbor

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

I found this story fascinating:
A memorabilia collector has been jailed for five years for possessing a Second World War rifle listed as a prohibited firearm. The rifle was not in a condition to fire live ammunition.
But Stafford Crown Court heard replacing the deteriorated pin would have made that possible. Phillip Peter Kent, aged 29, of [...]

Obama could give us a better deal

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

First of all, lets point something out: Obama has amazing popularity still and he has credibility in offering us a change from politics as usual.
Debt and spend is politics as usual.
I have no dounbt that President-elect Obama means well. But he doesn’t understand economics.  No one in power does.  Keynsianism was developed to justify the [...]
