Every since Liberty University announced that Mitt Romney was going to be the Commencement Speaker (see also the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, the CBS News, and even the POLITICO) for this year’s graduation class [some] people have been in an uproar (so says the Daily Kos anyway, the people I know had no problem with…

Space Shuttle Discovery Makes Historic Landing in Washington
Days when the national news like CNN and Fox News actually cover something for more than a 3 minutes sound bite seems to be the huge exception to the rule today. That is, unless, there is actually something going on live they can’t manipulate into a proper commercial break spot. Lately I have come to…

Is True Christianity Represented on CNN, Discovery, and History Channel?
Can we really know the true meaning of Christianity today? The answer of course, is an emphatic yes, of course we can, but the answer always seems to change depending on who you ask.

My Father-in-Law and a Real Dallas Morning News-paper
I am still going through all the different shots from last weekend but pulled this shot out of my Father-in-Law that I just love. I hadn’t seen a news paper in so long that I had to pull out my camera. I love the mix of old and new this shot portrays. To see more…

The Earthquake and Evangelical Thoughts on the Unreached in Japan
I have been trying to think of something intelligent to say about the earthquake in Japan but seeing the news and the pictures coming out of that country just leaves a person almost speechless. It’s different than Haiti of course, and you don’t see “text to donate” messages being flashed all over the place (why…

The Economy, Big 3 Auto Bailout, and the Church // Part 1
The world is ending as we know it. If you didn’t know that, there, now you do. Anyone watching the news lately? I quit am ready to quit watching the news altogether (which is saying something for a news junkie of sorts). Every day it is a relentless doom and gloom story of the world,…

Jill Greenberg Photos of The Manipulator Political Pornography?
Sometimes it really amazes me who is called a photographer and who isn’t. Photography takes on many many forms from journalist to fine artist and everything in between.

Internet Smear Campaign Against Sarah Palin is Crazy
Sarah Palin is currently undergoing a smear campaign on the Internet like I have never seen before. It is really just incredible to see how sharp the attacks on Palin are and how baseless these smears are in real facts. Is there a good reason for this? Is the left, far left, democrats, independents, people…

Sure, this is old news by now since the interview was a few days ago, but I am still thinking about the how and why of it all.
