Things I wish President Obama Knew Pt 3
Judy walked right up to the edge. And then it hit her. “Wow, that’s a long way to fall.” She began fidgeting nervously and inched her way back from the precipice. Right then two boys came running down the trail. The older of the two slipped on the rain-soaked wood and slid off, just grasping the fencepost as his feet dangled over infinity.

The Battle: Science vs Religion...and the Fate of the World!
The battle between science and religion is certainly not new. Competing worldviews are a very necessary and important part of human culture, frequently, and unfortunately, articulated as a debate between superstition and enlightenment—but is it really that simple

The Original Guitar Heroes +1
There is however, one towering giant among melodious-wordsmiths whose output stands as perhaps the greatest body of euphonious verbiage ever put on a 45 RPM disc. A man of towering gifts as guitarist who could sling a reconstituted Elmore James riff like no one else—the original Guitar-Man himself.....

The Dwindling Commandments
If I told you that one party in the upcoming election season was going to spend $1 Billion trying to convince the American electorate to ignore one of the Ten Commandments, which one would you guess I was talking about?

The Legend of Robert Pete Williams
Williams drove a dump truck by day, picking up old scrap metal as a means of making a living, augmented by a career as one of the blues most compelling and original stylists.

The Crazy and Dangerous Neighbors Next Door
Remember the old saying, “If the Arabs had no guns there would be peace in the Middle East. If Israel had no guns there would be no Israel.”
The Mad Hatter and the Tea Party
Can the government take on massive new debts—fighting what appears to be an endless war—while substantially increasing the size of government with new entitlements at a time when tax revenues are falling?
Espn, Liberals and Hypocrites
It is bad enough that the Left has already taken over every other form of entertainment for Americans; do they have to ruin my sports as well?
Dennis and Mary
If we are lucky enough to be born into a wealthy and free society with abundant educational and economic opportunity, and luckier still, to be born with the right complexion and the right connection, we will have a very big hand up on the vast majority of people in the world.
Lowell George and the search for authenticity - After years of never-ending guitar solos and even longer jams, "southern rock" limped along, riding on the backs of old Allman Brothers albums and a couple of songs by Lynard Skynard. Molly Hatchet, Grinder Switch and a few others kept the flame alive, albeit with all the furious burn of a dollar store lighter found in a swimming pool—and then came Lowell George and Little Feat.....
Is President Obama The Antichrist? - So I was minding my own business the other day and a friend called. As we enjoyed one of our usual wide-ranging discussions on how much better looking and smarter I am than he is (at least that’s how I remember it), he mentioned that he had seen a video on YouTube that asked the question, “Is President Obama the Antichrist”?
The Mysterious Case Of The Infinite Monkeys- Weekly Southern Arts Takes On Darwin, Einstein And Stephen Hawking in, "The Mysterious Case Of The Infinite Monkeys!"
The American Heritage Series- “There is little that is more important for an American citizen to know than the history and traditions of his country. Without such knowledge, he stands uncertain and defenseless before the world, knowing neither where he has come from nor where he is going."
Saturday Night At Big Tiny's Place- "This is what happens on a Saturday night at Big Tiny's Ribs and Chicken Shack down in Greenville Mississippi. Especially when Little Tommy's in town and has assembled The Blues Kings for a night of down home blues and sweet soul music. A place where big legged women and sharp dressed men hit the dance floor like an Alvin Ailey choreographed mating ritual and the barbecue is so good it'll make a man two inches taller and every woman nineteen and good lookin!”
Here Comes the Sun - My first reaction to this discussion was, “Okay, here’s the defense of the Obama administration’s idiotic loan guarantees to Solyndra. ‘The Chinese are doing it so we have to compete.’”
The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress: An Appreciation- Of all his many brilliant science fiction novels and short stories, there is none that is more affecting, more defining of the Conservative Libertarian point of view, than this story.
Angel Part 3 - "She used to work for the government. She just killed her husband. She’s in bed with drug dealers—and she may be the only person left who can save the world"…
Noosa Heads National Park – My Favorite Places #1 - I thought I had been struck speechless but even though there was no one in sight to hear me, the word “awesome” escaped from my lips involuntarily not once but twice. I thought I had seen everything, but I thought, “God, you have really outdone Yourself this time.”
Artistic Con-cepts- There we were, standing in one of Miami’s most prestigious museums and art galleries, looking at a couple of extension cords stuck to the wall. I turned to my son and joked, “Hey, this is a fine example of modern art.”
Choosing Between X Rays And Body Searches - Would you like a large dose of radiation in an x-ray machine that takes nude pictures of your body? How about a state-imposed groping that would be considered criminal if not authorized by the federal government?
Blue and Green - "Urban Art In Miami"
The Gospel According To Mark - What does it mean to be saved? Can a man be saved by merely accepting the premise that God exists and then living as though he believed it (Pascal’s Wager)?
The Conversation - "Listen, there is nothing wrong with being wrong, or as some might say, having lost, or for that matter, losing an argument or better still being a loser. I'm not saying you are a loser or trying to be petty. Those would be the traits of a loser and it's clear, I'm not a loser . On the other hand we can't say thats true of everyone. Some people are obviously losers and you know who you are."
Mundi's, A Love Story - Over the years, this little restaurant, tucked away in a shopping center, has been the site of countless birthday celebrations, wedding parties, family get togethers, holiday parties, etc. Most importantly, it has been the Friday night reward for a long week of hard work.
