1) W. David Jenkins III – Who is this? All I know is he wrote an incredible essay titled: “Bush Breakdown Dead Ahead?” – - – - It sneaks up on you, because the title indicates it’s something of a word-jumble riffing on something you’ve already read many times, but get a few paragraphs into it and the music starts getting louder. Bravo! I put up a link to his work (the layout of deadissue will be receiving a makeover…nothing drastic, but the organization isn’t working for me anymore…suggestions are welcome).
2) This one reminds me of the sexual harrassment scenes in Anchorman, specifically the one when Ms. Corningstone is reading the news for the first time and the street reporter is down to his undies off camera doing a jig, with the sports guy beside him, palms out flat with his cowboy hat on…“Mosque Plans Trigger Neighbor’s Pig Races”…definitely worth a read, if for nothing but the explaination by the homeowner of why he’s not canceling the festivities.
3) “Fossils are a great embarrassment to Evolutionary theory and offer strong support for the concept of Creation.” (Dr. Gary Parker, Ph.D., Biologist/paleontologist and former Evolutionist) Source
4) Projection: radar says “Whether you are an evolutionist or a creationist is largely about philosophical worldview rather than scientific fact.”
Al: I view the Bible and Koran as literature. On matters of science I side with technology and what it enables us to discover. It’s been on my mind lately…I think my seasonal depression steers interest away from politics and towards religion for some reason. Hope everyone’s year was worth remembering, and if it wasn’t, good luck in 2007!
