Hey, and thanks for visiting. I will no longer be double-posting so I hope you’ll visit WisdomIsVindicated at it’s original address: http://wisdomisvindicated.blogspot.com .
Last night I noticed that I was linked to a peculiar (to me) post about expansion of the EU. When I visited the post, I realized it was from Tennessee Ticket in which he writes:
Back then, all sorts of places I had a hankering to go were behind the so-called Iron Curtain: Poland, Lithuania, Yugoslavia, [...]
Thank you (and curse you) ABC Family Channel for your 25 days of Christmas programming this month. Almost every night that channel has broadcast a baby-boomer-era Christmas program (typically stop motion animation) and my kids have enjoyed seeing them.
But it occurred to me on Christmas day–when my middle child asked me a question about Santa [...]
Here’s a great report (here) about the book Who Really Cares by Arthur Brooks. While the story has been out there awhile, the book and in depth study of the data is new.
Conclusions? Religiously devout people are more generous than those who are not religiously devout. Accordingly, Americans, Republicans and Conservatives are more generous because [...]
Channel surfing while ESPN was showing a commercial, I came across Patton, starring George C. Scott. I’ve never watched the entire movie, though I’ve been familiar with it since childhood. Even the small portion that I watched was fascinating–though I have to admit I probably missed “the point” of the movie. And I don’t know [...]
An interesting story from today, from the AP: “California Man Sets Himself, American Flag, Christmas Tree on Fire to Protest Religious Names.” The man survived!
We’re visiting “the cousins”–my sister and her family in Alabama, and one of the best things about the holidays is having more time for activities like baking cookies, visiting family, etc. Actually, I guess we just make time for such things during the holidays.
Yesterday my four-year-old nephew brought me a stack of picture books [...]
Christmas Warrior reporting for duty! (Please retrieve from memory banks the embarrassingly lame salute of John Kerry in accepting the DNC nomination).
I just came across a link to a Slate article (here) via Anne’s StupidStuffIWitness blog about why “conservatives” and “Christianists” despise the phrase “happy holidays.”
For the record, I don’t despise the phrase “happy holidays” [...]
There is a buzz in the blogosphere about TN Gov. Phil Bredesen’s “Christmas” card. As an aside, it is intriguing to watch Liberal bloggers–you know who you are, create a buzz by raising an issue and ascribing to all Conservatives the sentiments of a single Conservative blogger; oh well).
First, I believe the guy’s not [...]
I am a supporter of Protest Warrior which I think epitomizes Free Speech–as opposed to flaunting it.
Thus I have followed (somewhat) the story of this FREAK who criminally (on a Federal scale) sought to undermine Protest Warrior by stealing credit card numbers of thousands of Protest Warrior members with the intent of using them.
Well, Loser [...]
