Dancing... or drinking through life
I am not even sure that I know how to do a link anymore. I'm giving it a shot though so, three readers, please forgive me if I mess this up.
So Rod Dreher's sister is battling cancer. It is nasty. Their faith is extraordinary. Here's his latest post (I think)
There are 8 comments on it.

Back...
I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything political and I doubt that I have much to add that will

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. I knew that I knew nothing about the art but was inspir

And just one more
I have, I think, just one more round of chemo left.
When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs. Twenty-three rounds, it seems, is enough.
What comes next? We'll go back to what we did after the surgery. We'll watch and measu

Huckabee is shaping up as the 2008 version of Goldwater. He’s got the ideological purity so beloved of the enthusiasts. Maybe he can recycle the old AuH2O slogam “In Your Heart You Know He’s Right.”

“. . . than with his very, very distant theological cousin Mitt Romney.”
Please prove theologically, how Mormonism is connected – in any way, let alone distantly – to: The faith delivered only once to the Christians of the Apostle’s day? Christians believe that there is only one God. Now, I’d be more than happy to point people to Trinitarian apologia, but Mormons believe that they will become a god themselves. Well, the men anyway.
Mormonism is an outside theological perspective looking in at Christian truth. Not, a kinship.

Money is the mother’s milk of politics.
And Huck ain’t goin’ anywhere without more milk.

“Money is the mother’s milk of politics. / And Huck ain’t goin’ anywhere without more milk.”

It’s almost like the guys in the smoke-filled backroom have figured that the evangelicals will march off to the polls and pull the GOP lever no matter who they (the backroom guys) nominate. And they may be right!
Welcome to the Plantation, evangelicals!
What would be exciting here would be a real grassroots Huckabee revolt.
Mitt or Rudy?? C’mon, evangelicals! They’re hardly better! And one’s a cult member while the other is a public adulterer.
You watch how Limbaugh and Hannity and those guys push the backroom choice, how they fawn over Rudy. The fix is in, dudes.

Larry P. , you’re funny (your comment above) as well as being a very skilled writer. (On a serious note, best wishes on finding a communications job soon. I think you said you were between jobs just now.)

Thanks, DC Native — yes, indeed, I am between jobs. Just got another rejection letter from an interview today (sigh).
