Dial “T” for Truth

When you get to be my age, you start prefacing boring things you’re about to say with, “When you get to be my age.” Or, “I remember when I was a kid.” Or, “Put on yer hat, dummy, cuz’ I’m about to start spittin’ on ya.” Luckily for you, this isn’t one of those times. (more…) Read more

About Your SCROTUS, POTUS

Last updated on: November 25, 2013 at 10:56 pm By John Shore

From the New York Times: The announcement by Justice John Paul Stevens that he would retire at the end of this term gives President Obama the rare opportunity to make back-to-back appointments to the Supreme Court during the first two years of his presidency. When I gaze about our society, beholding in my mind’s eye the luminaries of our legal system, who through their proven wisdom, unswerving devotion to justice, prodigious intellectual accomplishments, and manifest allegiance to the concepts and...

Cold-Blooded Love

Last updated on: April 11, 2010 at 11:50 am By John Shore

Yesterday I mentioned on my Facebook fan page the burgeoning romance my wife and I have been lately tracking between two lizards who seem to have decided that our front patio is their Garden of Cretin. Above is a photo I snapped of one of our tongue-flicking paramours. It fails, of course, to convey the scale of this scaly wall-scaler. But a quick guess I made as I was running away screaming after the thing moved right toward me is... Read more

My Way or the Baha’i Way

Last updated on: April 9, 2010 at 5:17 am By John Shore

Yesterday I attended the monthly meeting of the San Diego Interfaith Ministerial Association—or SDIMA for short, which is hard to say without confusing your front teeth. The SDIMA meeting is my big outing of the month. I walk in, they all yell, “Gay! He’s gay! You’re gay!” And then I go home. Get it? Cuz it’s an outing?! That’s right: this blog is still free of charge. And I think we can all agree it’s worth it. There’s certainly no... Read more

Church to Abused Wife: “Stay With Him”

Last updated on: April 6, 2010 at 6:38 am By John Shore

Due to a series of posts I once wrote and then collected into a longer piece, entitled Seven Reasons Women Stay in Abusive Relationships, and How to Defeat Each One of Them (which in ten months has been visited some 19,000 times), I get a fair number of emails from women relating the terrible story of their own abusive relationships. (For a particularly difficult example, see this comment I got in just yesterday on my post “From a Christian Woman... Read more
