Bombing Syria: There is No Right Way to Do This; There’s No “Good” Side to be On

Last updated on: September 4, 2013 at 7:56 am By Tim Suttle

There’s an interesting article up at Slate today in which they weight the pros and cons of an attack on Syria. I think it’s worth reading. It’s an interesting list of rationale from people both sides of the fence. I’ve pulled just a few out, but it’s worth reading the whole list. What’s so sad is that the silliest reason of all, “It’s the American thing to do,” offered by Boehner, is probably the reason it will happen. I, for... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: September 3, 2013 at 8:20 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I am writing and posting my Monday Morning Confessional on Tuesday this week. I’m hoping it makes for some really fresh and exciting new confessions… or maybe I’m just running late. I confess that I turned in my manuscript for Shrink to Zondervan this morning. I confess that this has me very nervous, because it hits at my insecurities as a writer – (you’re not a real writer, you aren’t smart enough to write books, this isn’t... Read more

Sheep Labor Protest/Political Rally – A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: August 30, 2013 at 7:55 am By Tim Suttle

I’m not sure one man should be allowed to wield this kind of power, but I honestly think it would be worth the trip just to get to ask these guys a few questions. Happy Friday everybody. Read more

How King’s Immortal “I Have a Dream” Almost Never Happened

Last updated on: August 28, 2013 at 7:24 am By Tim Suttle

As I read through the articles on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech from 50 years ago today, I was fascinated by the account in The New York Times. It told a story from the platform that I had never heard before. Dr. King was about halfway through his prepared speech when Mahalia Jackson — who earlier that day had delivered a stirring rendition of the spiritual “I Been ’Buked and I Been Scorned” —...

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: August 26, 2013 at 9:27 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I don’t get why people are so upset about Ben Affleck as Batman. I like Ben Affleck. Maybe its because I never saw Gigli? I did see Pearl Harbor, though… ouch. But I also saw Argo, and Good Will Hunting, both of which I think are amazing films. Perhaps even more impressive is Gone Baby Gone, which he directed and wrote. Oh man, that’s a good movie. And the ethical questions involved are important. Those three films alone... Read more

Best College Convocation Speech Ever – A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: August 23, 2013 at 7:00 am By Tim Suttle

His name is Nicholas Selby, and he’s a sophomore at Georgia Tech, welcoming the incoming freshman class with style. This kid is either going to end up being the evil genius who finally succeeds in destroying the planet, or writing for the Colbert Report. Either way, I think I would have studied much harder in college if I would have had this sort of motivation. Nice work Nicholas. Happy Friday everyone. Work hard, the weekend’s coming… Read more

Negligent Parents, Lawbreaking Kids: Stunning Article on Parental Accountability

Last updated on: August 22, 2013 at 9:42 am By Tim Suttle

LZ Granderson writes a weekly column for CNN, and this week’s entry was stunning. Granderson laments the lack of accountability for the parents of children who commit horrible, unspeakable crimes. He begins, “A detail in the fatal shooting of 14-year-old Shaaliver Douse by a New York Police Department officer earlier this month has been stopping me from grieving his death. The tragedy happened around 3 a.m. Why was a 14-year-old boy out that late without his mother, Shanise Farrar, who called... Read more

They are Burning Christian Churches in Egypt

Last updated on: August 21, 2013 at 7:54 am By Tim Suttle

For years I’ve kept a few key-word email alerts at The New York Times. If the paper of record is talking about Christians, Christianity, evangelicals, or the church I get a notification so I can make sure and read it. Typically I get about one a week. Recently I’ve been getting multiple alerts per day – most of them related to Egypt and the plight of Coptic Christians there. Roughly ten percent of the Egyptian population are Coptic Christians –...

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: August 19, 2013 at 9:15 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I’m getting a slow start to my Monday. I can always tell how much energy my previous week required by how much of an early start I am able to get on Monday. Self-awareness has never been my strong suit, and the ability to admit to myself that I’m tired and need to just take some time to recover is still not something that comes naturally to me. I usually try to dig deep, which is seldom,... Read more

Who Does the Voice of the Camel in Geico’s Hump Day Commercial? A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: August 16, 2013 at 6:49 am By Tim Suttle

It’s Friday, not hump day, but this is the funniest Geico commercial ever. Last I checked it was pushing 10 million views on Youtube. The animation with the camel’s mouth is amazing, and the concept is solid (a camel walking around an office as though he’s just part of the team, c’mon… that’s good stuff). But, what makes Geico’s viral commercial work is the voice. Who is it? According to The New York Times, his name is Chris Sullivan. The... Read more
