"Struggle": The Dead-Give-Away Word
In his youth, Chris Coons, the guy running for the Delaware Senate seat against the widely hated and mocked Christine O’Donnell once referred to himself as “a bearded Marxist.” He has since, for obvious reasons, tried to distance himself from that self-designation. It’s understandable. Heck, even Karl Marx famously denied being a Marxist. Today’s Marxists-at-heart […]
Double Rainbow Tuesday
Well I spent the day yesterday yammering on Facebook and Twitter and other Intertubes about the Sarah Palin book. My apologies to everyone in my social network who grew weary of hearing about it. But it was a pretty cool day around here. We’ve had a challenging and frequently disheartening year-and-a-half. It was great to […]
Launch Day
Today The Faith of Values of Sarah Palin officially launches. My co-author and friend, Stephen Mansfield, is in New York today doing some radio interviews and will be on Sean Hannity’s program tonight, as well as Fox & Friends tomorrow morning. Of course, the readers of this blog who truly love me and care about […]
Love, Duty, Honor and Remembrance
Awakened at 5:40 a.m. Wednesday by a phone call. My sister. A problem at Mom and Dad’s. “I’m on my way.” As I mentioned in the post below, Dad’s Alzheimer’s symptoms have gotten dramatically worse in the last month. I met Mom and my sister at a hospital in Henryetta, Oklahoma. He’ll spend a couple […]
Welcome to Rambling Update Theater . . .
I’m your host, Dave Sparseposter. Here at Holland House, we’re adjusting to the rhythms and requirements of autumn with two fewer offspring in the mix. Now, with a senior back at Baylor and a Freshman freshly launched at the University of Oklahoma, we’re left with only one still at home on whom to focus all […]
The Creepiest Thing to Come Out of the Koran Burning Kerfluffle So Far . . .
. . . was the fact that Pastor Flapdoodle in Florida got a knock on his door from the FBI right before he canceled his weenie roast. I’m on record in the posts below of thinking the pastor is, to put it mildly, misguided. Though he may be on shaky biblical grounds, he was on […]
On the Other Hand . . .
That fact that the likes of President Obama, former President Bill Clinton, Gen. Petraeus, the FBI, the Pope, Oprah, the cast of Jersey Shore, and that guy from the Staples commercial who yell’s Wow! That’s a low price!” are all predicting new waves of jihadis and suicide bombers because some loon in Florida says he’s […]
There's Nothing the Media Loves Like a Christian Loon
So some knot-head pastor in Florida with a congregation of 40 people announces an idiotic publicity stunt and it dominates the national headlines for a week and counting? Really? Sweet mother of cheese . . . the Pope felt obligated to weigh in on the matter today. A commenter on some blog pointed out that […]
This Is What I've Been Saying . . .
This truth is becoming so obvious that even the Washington Post is acknowledging it: “Small Businesses Feel Squeezed by Obama Policies” Of course, this is WaPo we’re talking about so note the qualifier “feel.” The acknowledgement is not that small businesses are being squeezed by Obama policies–only that they feel they are. Squeezed is actually […]
