If you remember the victims of Lahore

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 10:11 am By Dave Griffey

You’re one step ahead of the media. I saw a segment yesterday bringing us up to date with the Brussels massacre. Prayers for those victims as well. But it’s a testimony to the soft racism and subtle imperialism of the modern Left that more than two times that number killed, and specifically because of their Christian Faith, and on Easter no less, has barely rated two pages behind the grocery ads in most media outlets.Why? I can’t say for sure. I have my guesses. I think... Read more

The press asks if Bernie Sanders can possibly overcome his lead in Wisconsin

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 8:25 am By Dave Griffey

I’m not endorsing Sanders; it’s just fun to watch when actual events run afoul of the media’s obvious preferences. Read more

The best Tolkien Adaptations

Last updated on: April 3, 2016 at 6:00 am By Dave Griffey

1. The Hobbit, Rankin/Bass, 1977 I’ve written enough on my affection for this version and why I love it. It’s still the best. It does take away parts from the story. Any adaptation from book to movie has to drop some things. But it keeps the heart and flavor of Tolkien’s children’s book, and keeps it on a children’s book level. Most importantly, it inspired me to want to know more about this fictitious world and the Hobbits therein. And when... Read more

Decoding the modern Gay Rights McCarthyism

Last updated on: April 2, 2016 at 9:29 am By Dave Griffey

The reliably insightful Get Religion explains the new media template for covering states who are clinging to the right to not be liberal. From the point of view of professional journalists who still dream of a journalism sans agendas, Get Religion does a good job pointing out the subtle tricks that are used, and will be used by the propaganda machine in pushing to end religious liberty and the right to not be liberal. As always with Get Religion, it’s... Read more

Nothing new under the sun

Last updated on: April 2, 2016 at 9:25 am By Dave Griffey

One of the biggest boons to the Man Made Global Warming movement is the media. Like all things progressive, the media is at its back, blowing BS into the sails and propelling it along, well beyond what most would accept if common sense, rather than media narratives, played a part. It’s not just the American media either. Nor is it only the media. And part of it is due to the facts involved. The climate is changing. Of course it... Read more

It is not Rush Limbaugh’s fault

Last updated on: April 1, 2016 at 7:23 pm By Dave Griffey

One of the popular narratives thrust upon an ill-educated American public is that all of the rancor, the bitterness, the rudeness, the meanness, hate and intolerance we see today are the result of Talk Radio. Usually they mean Rush, but they’re willing to include most talk radio. Sometimes they will include Cable News, and by that they often mean FOX. But the fact is, there was no time where all lived in peace and harmony and didst drink of the wine... Read more

If you are a Calvin and Hobbes fan

Last updated on: April 1, 2016 at 6:21 pm By Dave Griffey

And if you’re not, by goodness you ought to be, then this story might be of interest. Turns out before Bill Watterson amazed us with a ten year run of one of the most engaging, entertaining and insightful cartoon strips ever produced, he worked as an editorial cartoonist for a nearby Ohio newspaper. Now he has given his stamp of approval to a new project on the history of cartoon strips. Some day I should work up the courage to... Read more

A reminder that gay rights is not about rights at all

Last updated on: March 31, 2016 at 2:14 pm By Dave Griffey

An educational poster modified to keep it real It is about crushing and eradicating the same. Or at least the right to not conform to the Leftist gospel. The Leftist gospel sees itself as unique and exclusive, and expects the laws of the world to mandate conformity. That is why we have stories like this. Now, the gay couple could have gone to any one of a thousand B&Bs; for their “wedding”. There are B&Bs; out there for the express... Read more

Andrew Cuomo treats Christians like we used to treat Communists

Last updated on: March 30, 2016 at 4:34 pm By Dave Griffey

And Communists better than we treat Christians. Because some still wish to hold to that laughable notion that men who are born men are actually men, and women born women are actually women – not even a Christian distinctive throughout most of history – Andy Cuomo has banned all non-essential state travel to the State that dares hold to traditional values. This would be the same Cuomo who, just last year, visited Communist Cuba with high fives and much love.... Read more
