“…I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

Acts 9:16

I am stained with dirt, prone to depravity
You are everything that is bright and clean
The antonym of me
You are divinity

But the harder I try the more clearly can I
Feel the depth of our fall and the weight of it all

David Crowder Band

“Run, John, run,” the law commands
But gives me neither feet nor hands.
Yet better news the gospel brings;
It bids me fly and gives me wings.

- John Berridge (1716-1793)

CNN: ‘Sunni Arab bloc rejoins Iraqi Cabinet‘

I suspect the progress is due to the proximity of The Great One, having just landed in Afghanistan.

I’ve searched Google and can’t figure this out. The Leopard DVD player seems to exit the full screen mode by itself after it’s been open for a while. It doesn’t take long, however. The other night while watching “Road to Perdition”, it exited full screen twice by itself. I’ve not seen anyone else discuss this phenomenon. It’s not just my media computer (Mac Mini) either, but also my Macbook Pro and at least one of my roommate’s computers (Macbook). The three computers have vastly different software loaded onto them. The Mac Mini, the computer on which I noticed the phenomenon the most, barely has anything on it–just the standard issue stuff plus Elgato’s EyeTV. What’s going on with this?

It looks like the American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists and by no means a Big Oil-financed, right-wing group, appears to be reversing it’s previously “incontrovertible” stance on Man Made Global Warming.

Turns out, as common sense would also lead you to believe, the Earth’s recent warming trend might simply be the natural result of the Sun’s extra activity over the last 70 years. If you don’t believe me, try answering this question: Exactly how is human activity and its production of CO2 on Earth causing the ice caps on Mars to melt?

Of course, if you’ll read the article that I just linked to, you’ll see that this scientist’s conclusions aren’t well received.

“His views are completely at odds with the mainstream scientific opinion,” said Colin Wilson, a planetary physicist at England’s Oxford University.

Hmm. And of course, mainstream scientific opinion is always correct. The Earth is flat, you know. (More on Mars here.)

Hmm… feels like a hairstyle I could really get behind.

Sounds like something Christ might’ve said, right? Surely it’s in the Bible somewhere.

Wait… no, that was just the more recent Messiah, The Great Leader Barack Obama. Gross. Get over yourself.

Are you certified?

Interestingly, either the City of Denver or the DNC itself, or both, are trying to sweep away all the homeless people during the week of the Democratic National Convention in August by handing them tickets to movies, the zoo, and the Denver Museum of Nature. More here.

Can you imagine the outrage if the GOP pulled something like this? And rightful outrage it would be, indeed. I suppose it makes sense though. You have to hide all the poor people so they don’t mess up all the hope and change that’ll be occurring at the convention, non?

From the comments:

In 1968, Boss Richard J. Daley, the Democratic Party strongman of Chicago, erected large plywood fences along the routes from the airport to the convention center so that the Democrats wouldn’t have to see the black squalor in his Democrat-run city.

If this isn’t history repeating itself, I don’t know what is.

Hmm. Certainly seems like a new kind of politics, doesn’t it?
