Check out Ed Stoddard’s FaithWorld column:
The Huckabee machine included “homeschoolers” who volunteered for him in droves. The energy of those conservative Christians — who as their name suggests educate their children at home in part to shield them from the secular world — would be welcomed by the McCain camp.
Secular “reporters” who “write” about people […]
CNN aired some much-watch tv tonight. Excellent stuff.
The intro runs about 30-seconds before the sound starts. So be patient (or skip forward); it’s working.
Too few people saw this video back when it was made, before YouTube and Google video became what they are. It used to be available on the House Committee’s website, until a new Chairman took it down […]
I volunteered, working phone banks to raise money for Mike Huckabee when he was just an out-of-work preacher running for the U.S. Senate and then again for Lt. Governor of Arkansas. I drove him from event-to-event when he came to Searcy back in those days. When I left for D.C. all those years […]
Here’s one pacifist’s idea of proactive nonviolence. Click play to hear a recent call to the Dennis Prager show. Although Prager quickly veers into ad hominem, which is atypical of him, I still find the exchange interesting.
The caller’s sister may not be all the things Prager said, but she is certainly treating her brother-in-law […]
Mark Steyn responds to an odd accusation: On Fox News the other night, I was told by NPR's Juan Williams, "You're anti-immigrant!" Er, actually, I am an immigrant – one of the members of the very very teensy-weensy barely statistically detectable category of "legal immigrant". But perhaps that doesn't count any more.
The biggest problem this article is that it makes my former Harding professor sound like Enid Strict — as if he were taking attendance and wagging his finger at the folks who skip Wednesday night Bible class. Anyone with five minutes and an Internet connection can figure out that's not where Dr. Elrod is coming […]
I’m fascinated by the The Wisdom of Crowds approach to predicting elections (and all sorts of other things).
Prediction markets like the IEM, operated by the University of Iowa, have proven more accurate at predicting elections than traditional polling. As the Wikipedia article on prediction markets explains:
These markets actually have a long and […]
From the Jackson Sun:
“Very devastating” is how Bradford Police Chief Ollie Bond described the amount of damage that could have been done by explosive materials found behind a building on Old U.S. 45 East Thursday morning. Bond said police were still searching for the owner of the material Thursday afternoon.read more | digg story

We awoke this morning to the news that Steve Irwin, founder of Australia Zoo and television personality, has died. Our son has been a huge fan of the “Crocodile Hunter” for several years and one day hopes to go to Australia and to Australia Zoo.
What can you say about this exuberant man? […]
