Real Change

Nicholas Kristof’s column in yesterday’s edition of the NY Times is a worthwhile read about social entrepreneurs. I like the idea of making a world a better place through socially minded business projects. Kiva comes to mind. Here’s a quote from the story:

Today the most remarkable young people are the social entrepreneurs, […]

Why do I think Obama can win?

…..because no other candidate in either party can do this:

Live for Nothing or Die for Something

Yes. I saw the newest installment of the Rambo movie series on it’s opening day. About six dudes bundled up and braved the chilly Memphis morning to pay homage to the man who inspired us all to try unsuccessfully convince our parents when we were seven to buy us 8-inch survival knives (complete […]

Huckabee is Losing it.

Check out this video showing Mike Huckabee talking about his desire to amend the Constitution in order to put it in line with Biblical principles:

“[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of […]

The Angel Moroni would be proud……

Now, does this mean that when I die I’ll be spared the “outer darkness” and be granted entry into the celestial kingdom? I hope so……as long as I don’t have to wear the underwear and can still drink beer and stuff.

“But whatever…….”

Check out this article if you want to know what God has told Pat Robertson about 2008. Apparently we are in for a big recession and…..drum roll……more violence and chaos in the world. Wow, Pat’s really going out on a limb here. Maybe he’s being a bit more conservative with his predictions […]

Films in 07

1) No Country for Old Men—This the only film of the year I saw more than once in the theater (3 times to be exact). This film is simply a treasure of story […]

More Huck and Chuck

I was listening to NPR today in the car and heard this story about the Chuck/Huck Superteam.

It’s worth a listen. Here’s a taste:

Perhaps you didn’t know that Huckabee’s bumper stickers don’t have glue? They stick to cars because Chuck told them to. And, when Chuck Norris gives a stump speech, it is on an […]

The Chuck has Huck’s Back

Did you see Mike Huckabee’s speech after his victory in Iowa? Check it out here. I watched it live and I found it so bizarre that Chuck Norris was prominently placed directly behind the Huckster. Not Huckabee’s wife or any of the rest of his family but the bad-ass himself, Chuck Norris. […]

Kiva Works

Today I received an email from Kiva.org notifying me that my Kiva loan has been paid back in full by my friend from Ecuador, William Benitez. I’ve taken the money that William has paid back and within minutes on Kiva.org, I reloaned it to Lucy in Ecuador. If you feel so inclined, you […]
