If you know me at all, you know I don’t think so.  But why take my word for it?  Check out these stats.

I have mixed feelings.

Is Jesus a Republican?

// October 3rd, 2008 // 2 Comments » // Christian Living, General, Life

This is an interesting time in America.  The great American idol of greed and success has stumbled.  All of his worshippers are scattering in a panic wondering how their great, omniscient god could betray them in their time of need.  All the priests of the economy are offering sage advice on CNBC and Fox News.  “It’s the Democrats fault!”  “No!  It’s the Republican’s fault!”  “Wait, that isn’t true!  It’s rich white people!”  On and on they go like the prophets of Baal dancing around a cold altar trying to coax fire from the sky.

We thought George W. would be our savior.  Our king who would ride in on a white horse and rescue us from economic and moral damnation.  8 years later, we’re all disappointed.  Disillusioned.  A little hopeless.

New $200 Burger at Burger King

// June 20th, 2008 // 12 Comments » // General, Video

What do you guys think of this?  Aside from the fact that only a dimwit would pay $200 to eat a burger at Burger King, I think I have to agree with the “Save Darfur” guy at the end of the video.

I don’t think Americans should apologize for living in a prosperous nation.  I don’t think we should apologize for enjoying that prosperity.  However, I think this may be crossing the line.  It’s a little hard for me to reconcile the idea of some rich guy eating a $200 cheeseburger in Burger King while little babies are starving to death in Sudan.

Call me a left wing liberal pinko commie if you want.  I can stomach it. ;-)

Tell me what you think of this.  I’m curious about your reactions.

Favorite WordPress Plugins

// June 12th, 2008 // 5 Comments » // General, Site News

I use WordPress to power this blog. WordPress is an open-source blogging platform, and in my opinion, is the best at what it does. One of the things that makes it great is the community that helps develop and support it. Between the abundance of free themes and creative plugins, there really isn’t much it can’t do.

Every year the WordPress community takes a month to honor the creativity and brilliance of WP plugin authors. In support of the community, I thought I would list for you the plugins I use (and could not/would not live without).
