It's both tragedy and horror.

Liberal and Conservative Agree on Bill of Rights...
The libertarians are starting to look more and more attractive.
What He Said
Dr. Phillip Turner writes eloquently on the great divide between what the progressives who run the Episcopal Church say and what they do.
Wednesday Poetry
Day Labourers
"And He said, It is finished."
One only, of God's messengers to man,
Finish'd the work of grace, which He began;
E'en Moses wearied upon Nebo's height,
Though loth to leave the fight
With the doom'd foe, and yield the sun-bright land
To Joshua's armèd hand.
And David wrought in turn a strenuous part,
Zeal for God's house consuming him in heart;
And yet he might not build, but only bring
Gifts for the Heavenly King;
And these another rear'd, his peaceful son,
Till the full work was done.
List, Christian warrior! thou, whose soul is fain
To rid thy Mother of her present chain;—
Christ will avenge His Bride; yea, even now
Begins the work, and thou
Shalt spend in it thy strength, but, ere He save,
Thy lot shall be the grave.

Environmental Traitor
That's me alright. I am an environmental traitor. Not only that, Dr. Krugman, I'm a card-carrying environmental traitor. And then some. And good luck lining up a firing squad to shoot me. Those bullets have eco-unfriendly lead you know.
