Zombyboy takes note of anti-Semitic Christians who have taken that verse from Thessallonians (1 Thess. 2:14,15) to heart: Yes, this happened in Denver, and, yes, I am ashamed of Pastor Maurice Gordon of the Lovingway United Pentecostal Church.

Michael Demmons has a public plea for intelligent discourse on his blog, concerning “talking points” that some commenters might leave on his blog: For the most part, people who leave comments at Discount Blogger are smart, respectful people. Most of them argue the point, or agree with it, in a way that furthers the debate.… Continue reading this entry
A comment left by Chris, a co-blogger at Tealart, needs to get public attention on my blog’s front page: An interesting platform to stand on is that how can you go and protect us in the outside world and give liberity to those who’ve never had it when we cannot even do that at home?… Continue reading this entry

Big news of the day: Bush wants a Constitutional Amendment codifying marriage as that of one between a man and a woman. Surprised? We knew this was coming. Hands have been forced since Lawrence V.

Zombyboy writes about his experiences as a design pro. Reader’s digest version? He talks about the marginalization of the white male in public imagery borne of design demands.
