Reformed Chicks Blabbing

Haven’t these people heard of redundant systems? A cascading computer failure in the nation’s air-traffic control system caused severe flight delays and some cancellations along the East Coast Friday. A computer system in Atlanta that processes pilots’ flights plans and sends them to air-traffic controllers failed late Thursday or early Friday, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman…

This is pretty funny: Jim Kenefick, 36, is the founder of Moorewatch.com, one of the Web’s most visited anti-Michael Moore sites. So imagine Kenefick’s surprise when he received a friendly voice mail last month-from Moore himself, calling from the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his agitprop documentary “Sicko.” The lefty filmmaker had two things to…

The kid who won the spelling bee seems to be your typical nerd — pretty socially inept. The interviewer was pretty good, she seemed in good spirits throughout and kept trying to engage him in a conversation which was an impossible task. (via)Tags: spelling bee

If I clicked on a Jesus tag at Technorati and got this post. (Yes, it’s tagged, the font is just really, really tiny.) Isn’t mislabeling a little bit like lying? 🙂 BTW, you may wonder how my 46 year-old eyes were able to read such a tiny font. Easy, the font is much bigger in…

I listened to the debate (listen to the program or read the transcript) and was disappointed by it.

What does the presidency have to do with Christianity? Update: I’ve been asked to clarify this question and give it context. I’ve been to some Christian blogs and it seems to me that Christians appear to think that our president needs to be a Christian and I want to know why?

I think that in a debate it is important to point out the untenable nature of your opponent’s position and to present a positive case for your own (or at least defend your position from misrepresentations by your opponent). Roberts did neither, in my opinion. I understand that it wasn’t the best environment for a…

Cloture vote fails: 45-50 Trent Lott voted nay!!!! What is up with this guy?

Hugh Hewitt has the audio evidence against Trent Lott. Go listen because you will not believe it. It’s sickening. First he tells his constitutes to trust him because he knows what he’s doing: Now we are going to pick it to death. I just don’t think this is responsible. I am getting calls, but I…
