  Washington Post: Where are we? What happened? How’d this ‘Obama is my king’ tattoo get on my arm?

  Some of the main­stream media are act­ing like a per­son with a hang­over try­ing to fig­ure out what hap­pened last night. The Wash­ing­ton Post’s ombuds­man deals with ‘morn­ing after’ guilt over the paper being in the can for Obama: The Post pro­vided a lot of good cam­paign cov­er­age, but read­ers have been con­sis­tently crit­i­cal of the lack […]

  “Yes, we can” what? Ruin the country?

  November 5th, 2008 | Caution: The moving walkway is ending, Culture gone mad, Current events, Political circus | Grace | Comments Off

  Con­ser­v­a­tives are sup­posed to be being con­cil­ia­tory right now. We’re sup­posed to be act­ing classy and doing all that ele­gant stuff like con­grat­u­lat­ing Obama and tak­ing our right­ful place as the losers with the ‘good sport’ pin on our lapel. That’s baloney. I’m a sore loser, and I’m hon­est enough to admit it.

  NYT news flash: There are religious people out there!

  September 8th, 2008 | La Vida Iglesia, Political circus | Grace | 1156No Commentshttp%3A%2F%2Fthis-side-of-glory.com%2Forthodoxy%2Fla-vida-iglesia%2Fnyt-news-flash-there-are-religious-people-out-there%2FNYT+news+flash%3A+There+are+religious+people+out+there%212008-09-08+20%3A58%3A22Gracehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.this-side-of-glory.com%2Farchives%2Fnyt-news-flash-there-are-religious-people-out-there%2F

  The New York Times decided to go on one of its occa­sional for­ays into the strange world of alien crea­tures and talked to (ick) reli­gious peo­ple. The occa­sion for this was to do a tremu­lous read on whether these strange life-forms are react­ing pos­i­tively to Sarah Palin, but I don’t cite the piece to argue […]

  “I didn’t get there by just eating mooseburgers…”

  All right, I’m going to apol­o­gize in advance. Because although the YouTube video below made me laugh so hard I cried, and though it also has some­thing in it for both sides of the polit­i­cal spec­trum, it has some bad words in it — one F, an S and a GD — and some other […]

  Fred and me on MizVeep

  I’m tak­ing in the Repub­li­can con­ven­tion and Fred Thomp­son is giv­ing a speech. Just a minute ago, he echoed my thoughts on Sarah Palin. She is a coura­geous, suc­cess­ful, reformer, who is not afraid to take on the estab­lish­ment. She has run a munic­i­pal­ity and she has run a state. And I can say with­out fear […]

  I can’t say how totally pleased I’ve been since Sat­ur­day hear­ing that McCain picked Sarah Palin as his run­ning mate. She’s an absolutely fab­u­lous pick, and I think it’s just hys­ter­i­cal how much the Democ­rats don’t get that. Heck, there were Repub­li­cans who didn’t get it, appar­ently, judg­ing from the pres­sure McCain was get­ting from […]

  Presidential candidates for A Great Awakening

  What is it that makes politi­cians reach for the Tent Revival rhetoric to make a point? Every­one went nuts when they found out that Huck­abee said in 1998 that he wanted to “take back Amer­ica for Christ”, and now Michelle Obama is telling us that elect­ing her hus­band to office will “fix our souls”. Sooo … […]

  Mormon in the House

  Hap­pened to check out Hugh Hewitt’s blog – which I usu­ally like — and felt like he was shak­ing his fin­ger in my face. I was a guest on the Fox News Chan­nel this after­noon. The sub­ject was whether or not the new movie about the Moun­tain Mead­ows Mas­sacre of 1857 would be a prob­lem for […]

  My candidate is Christian-er than your candidate

  Found myself kind of annoyed with this story. Focus on the Fam­ily founder James Dob­son appeared to throw cold water on a pos­si­ble pres­i­den­tial bid by for­mer Sen. Fred Thomp­son while prais­ing for­mer House Speaker Newt Gin­grich, who is also weigh­ing a pres­i­den­tial run, in a phone inter­view Tues­day. “Every­one knows he’s con­ser­v­a­tive and has […]
