Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life. and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your fa
The TSA has been watching people in airports and profiling them based on body language, responses to questions, and other odd behavior. This practice is nothing new, but it's receiving media coverage due to the TSA's plans to roll out the behavior profiling program to several other airports in the next few months.

When Gov. Jennifer Greyholm is granted constitutional dispensation to run for the presidency. I had no idea who Jennifer Granholm was until this article. Seems like a good governor of Michigan . Too bad she was born in Vancouver, BC. Y'know, granting her the abi
Well, given one at Liberty, and one at VMI, I can see them being very conservative! You have a son at Liberty University? And you're worried about him becoming too conservative? Too late, baby... he's already there. I studied at Liberty online for two semesters. Graduate program for Masters in Divinit
Note: not just "Republican" - "STRONG Republican"! You are a Social Conservative (18% permissive) and an... Economic Conservative (65% permissive) <
I have seen right wingers called sheep by the left. As an intelligence analyst for a government agency, I hope that I am not "sheeple", just blindly following and bleating along with the herd. I like to think that I investigate an event or scandal before forming my opinions. And not all of my opinions
South Park and the great: dumb, da dumb, dumb, dumb hummed/sung after each line of the story of how mormons came to believe what they believe. That show was dead-on and it was absolutely hilarious. It was brutal and I am surprised they knew what they knew; they had to have had inside help.
The 2005 Toyota Sienna won last year's best minivan from Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine. (This year? Honda Odyssey.) Sienna is an excellent van and I have heard nothing but good things about it. It also came in first in resale value, retaining its value the best of all minivans for a 4-yr and 6-yr resale. (Good news for trade-in time.) We bought a new van last year, but couldn't afford a Sienna. We went with a used (2002) Chevy Venture
My God! Am I becoming a liberal? No, it means that you think critically and independently. Not all issues fall within party lines.
I especially liked how Prs. Gordon B. Hinckley adjourned the meeting for the next 100 years. Yep, I'll be there!
I do have difficulty admitting my enjoyment of the Spice Girls, though. And what better place to come clean than in the anonymity of blog-world?

It really is excellent when entertainers are willing to play for the troops. This morning on my way into work, I was listening to an interview with Jeffrey Ross, who is a standup comic. Ross has been all over the place, like Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Bosnia, even Djibouti! He has even accompanied General Myers! What a guy and what a cause. Ross said those were his favorite gigs of all time, playing for the troops overseas. And he recommends the U
It really is excellent that so many people are willing to entertain the troops. I was listening to an interview with Jeffrey Ross, who is a standup comic who has even accompanied General Myers! Ross has been all over the place, like Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Bosnia, even Djibouti! What a guy and what a cause. Ross said those were his favorite gigs of all time, playing for the troops.
Thanks, X-SPC. Couldn't have said it better myself. I just had a wife-induced ban on the blog for the holiday weekend. Thanks for going to bat for me.
Clip a toenail.
i wasn't the one who listed catholics with muslims and jews as an example of non-christian believers. The key word in that sentence is sectarian! Geez, can't a guy make a slip of the keyboard around here?
Drmiler: Hey col...."What are you going to say if the courts decide that GW has NOT exceeded his authority"? He will claim the W-packed Supreme Court got him off the hook. <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-T
May I ask why on Earth you would do that so close to Christmas? My wife asked the same question, almost verbatim. My thoughts: 1. three day weekend. 2. Christmas doesn't require a lot of movement, unlike Halloween (trick or treating). 3. family in town to help take care of our baby. Fee
Third day and feeling okay. Things are still a little sore down there, but I am wearing jeans for the first time since the surgery. And we're planning on going out and about after lunch. We'll see tonight just how bad I feel. The gauze is off and I'm covering the incision sites with bandaids. Not bad at all, but I still need the bandaids.
The Jewish, Muslim, and Catholic chaplains have never been discouraged in this or any other manner to keep their sectarian ways to themselves catholic chaplains aren't christian? <
With the rough and tumble reputation of the Airborne, Special Forces, Rangers, Navy SEALS, Marine Force Recon, Air Force PJs (and other special ops), it is surprising to see how many LDS members are found within the ranks of each. My institute president in college (Ted and Dev will know what that means)
Can I just butt in here and say that this is my first time on television?
From the looks of that picture, yeah... she wants to be embraced.
70 years later and we still have not learned. Seventy? Try six thousand.
