Ispent the evening with someone who recently came back from a visit to Guantanamo Bay. The first thing he said was that the biggest health problem facing the detainees at Guantanamo is obesity. They are better fed, better cared for, and better treated than most of them have been at any time in their lives. ... Read more

Asequel to yesterday's post, framed around comments by Abbot of Arbroath, who begins thusly:  

I can grasp the freedom = equality issue is a challenge. There rest is debatable.



Then let’s debate it! Although I’m not sure what the “rest” is.

"Let’s begin with the basic assumption at the root of our nation’s founding"

Stresshas been high these last few days – I’m preparing a PR event for work, and I was stupid enough to give out my own cell number as the RSVP line. Which means I’ve been inundated with phone calls, and I haven’t been able to breathe. The event is on Friday, which means the calls ... Read more

Iwent to my second Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable last night. I wrote about much of this the first time around, and my basic opinion hasn’t changed. Bringing a lot of people together of different faiths to find ways to be inoffensive strikes me as a waste of time. It comes from a posture of ... Read more

Nothingis more frightening than the sinking feeling that you know you’re in over your head. I vividly recall when I took over the Pink Garter Theatre in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and had to pretend that I had the first clue about what I was doing. I didn’t. And it didn’t take very long for people ... Read more

BeforeI get to the main point of today’s installment, I just have to embed this little tidbit at the outset. Currently, it’s the screaming headline on the Drudge Report, so it’s not like this is the first place you’re going to see it, but this needs to be shared as far and wide as possible. ... Read more

Greatcomments on yesterday’s post, some of which merit further discussion. I’ll begin with an e-mail I received that should start the ball rolling here:

You seem to make the assumption (as do most people....... especially "expert analysts" in the mainstream media), that the nuclear family has been disintegrating in recent years...... and largely due to

Thisshould be fun. It’s remarkable to me how, in my own lifetime, sexual mores have changed so drastically. Go back about fifteen years or so before I was born, and you’ll find a society that was so prudish that I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show asked us to believe that married couples ... Read more

I'mholed up in Vernal, Utah, which is just as exciting as it sounds. As I travel, it becomes difficult to write a full-on blog entry, but I wanted to share a goofy list of Jack Bauer facts that I found online, because they make me laugh. After the crapfest that was Season 6, I was ... Read more

There'sthis weird dealie going around on Facebook where if you're tagged by your friends "you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you." So I wrote it, and, not wanting to waste it just on Facebook folks, I thought I'd share it with the public at large. ... Read more
