No Explanation Necessary So I was put in FaceBook jail for seven days, and — as usual — there is never an explanation why, nor would they even identify the offending post. (How will they build their Brave New World if they don’t even run a competent re-education camp?) It’s possible, this time, that a..
The other day I pointed out some glaring flaw in farm operations. “Old guys rule!” I said. “You see that? Old guys would never do something quite that stupid.” Mary nodded, and agreed. But then — not 30 minutes later — I saw a really scary looking dude walking in the stream bed. I couldn’t..
The various defenses we make for our shortcomings — have you noticed this? — can almost never survive an honest conversation. I’ve been pondering Vince Gilligan’s character “Jessie Pinkman” in Breaking Bad. You’ve seen this guy. We all have. He’s the aloof, distant stoner, the guy who can’t be bothered to study, to apply himself,..
So… The straight pride parade in Boston — if we are to judge by the “Super Happy Fun America” website set up to promote and blog about the event — appears to be 98% satire. The comments include an incensed “father of 18” who insists “I do not need your stupid help to feel pride.”..
Madison, WI – ICBTS News A new study from Hollick University indicates that the once thriving Russian Collusion denomination is rapidly losing membership, especially among younger worshipers. “In the beginning it was really exciting,” said 24 year old Matt Sperling, sporting a #WalkAway t-shirt. “I can remember having a lot of faith that Adam Schiff..
Washington, DC • ICBTS News A gaunt and exasperated Lucifer took a break from a global environmental conference yesterday to assure reporters that–contrary to the claims of prominent Southern Baptist Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile–opposition to reparations is not the “devil’s work.” “Let’s keep our eyes on the prize,” said the Prince of Darkness, “this green new deal..
“..If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” The Crowd-Building Power of Standing Your Ground I touched briefly, yesterday, on the enormous power ignited when a tyrant miscalculates and picks on the wrong man, but I don’t think I explained the reality from the..
“And he was afraid and arose and ran for his life…” So imagine you’ve just called down fire from heaven, hacked four hundred pagan priests to death, wiped the blood from your tunic, and you get a message from that old whore, Queen Jezebel. She swears by all the gods to put you to the knife by..
Almost all evil is done in the name of good. I believe I learned that principle as a teenager, from Dale Carnegie. I think he used the example of a bank robber. Even the bank robber convinces himself he’s sticking up for the little guy against the evil, rich banker. So if a bank robber..
You forgot the violins and the Bach.. So I posted this picture on the Riley’s Farm Facebook page the other day and someone responded with a little plucking and clucking about “romanticizing the past” and “chamber pots and cholera” and all that–and I got to thinking, first of all: when people respond that way to..
