Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
One of the great myths perpetrated by blogging aficionados is the notion of our avocation being a self-policing realm. Really?
Sure, you can easily call someone on whatever they say should it be less than . . . → Read More: Gettin’ Riehl

We have many running jokes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most of them involve most of our professional sports teams… well, teams consisting of people who get paid. Calling them professional is a bit of a stretch. But I digress. Anyway, given how most of the running with said teams consists . . . → Read More: Who Says Who’s On First?

Still running short of material, alas. Thus, for your dining and dancing pleasure here is yesterday’s column from the Examiner.
This one took a long time to write. I felt the need to constantly examine (no pun intended) the whys of its content. Was I writing what I believed, and was I willing to accept the instant . . . → Read More: Who Cares If This Will Play In Peoria

As I write this, God’s Not Dead (And Neither Are We) is the five hundred and twenty-sixth thousandth, seven hundred and seventy-sixth best selling book on Amazon. Culture Of Corruption by Michelle Malkin is first, joining the most recent tomes by Glenn Beck and Mark Levin in the top ten.

Yesterday, I briefly ruminated about why the now-infamous Playboy article from earlier this week discussing assorted conservative women in decidedly less than genteel terms wasn’t that big of a deal to me. Apparently I am alone in feeling this way.
No, I don’t consider myself to be either insensitive or a misogynist. I love women. I’ve been . . . → Read More: Be The Better

Finishing what I started in the first three posts:
Before getting to the fourth, final, and to me most important tenet of the blogging evangel, indulge me for a minute while I remind you of something I said at the beginning:
We suck.
Seriously. We absolutely suck.
We suck, because if we didn’t suck we wouldn’t be a marginal, marginalized . . . → Read More: The Speech I Won’t Be Giving This Weekend (Part Four Of Four)

Resuming from yesterday:
The third tenet of the blogging evangel is quite simple, really: Answer your e-mail every time all the time.
No, I am not referring to the missives we all get from some grieving relative or financial expert hired to handle the affairs of same asking us to contact their bank in Nigeria. Although I’ve often . . . → Read More: The Speech I Won’t Be Giving This Weekend (Part Three Of Four)

Picking up where I left off the other day:
The second tenet of the blogging evangel is this: Blog from and for the heart, not the bank account. This should be quite self-explanatory. And yet so many among us miss it.

This weekend in Washington D.C., the annual gathering of CPAC will take place. CPAC, which is short for Conservative Political Action Conference, is a vital cog in the well-oiled conservative political machine that has in recent years produced win after win on the national scene and… oh, wait, that’s right…
