Better Late Than Never (Christian Carnival XLI)
“From the Anchor Hold” is hosting this
week’s Christian Carnival. Go check it out. 🙂
Rabid Dogs
Some people don’t care who gets trampled in the mad rush to uncover the truth.
There’s a side to RatherGate that not everyone knows about. Not everyone who said the memos were real were maliciously trying to deceive the public. Some people, like David Hailey, Utah State University associate professor of technical
communications, actually believed the memos to be real and wrote a paper attempting to prove it. This action was not well received, and Hailey’s reputation was dragged through the mud by the lynch mob looking for liberals to string up for daring to
trust the documents.
Bene Diction sums up the events nicely.
This is the bad side of blogging – the drunk driving so to speak – uncivil, hateful, vindictive, swarming.
Catch Phrase
The description I use for this blog needs to be replaced with something catchier. Do any of my loyal readers have suggestions for a catchy "blurb" with which I might lure additional readers? Here are some good examples.
"Punditry, Parody, Polemics, Politics, Puns from a Papist Perspective" – The Curt Jester
"A former atheist who after spending forty years in the wilderness finds himself with both astonishment and joy a member of the Catholic Church. This blog presents my hopefully humorous and sometimes serious take on things religious, political, and whatever else crosses my mind." – The Curt Jester
"Devoted to the propagation of Evangelical Christianity, and Conservative Politics. These two taboo subjects at the dinner table are mixed into the same meal." – Christian Conservative
"So That No Thought of Mine, No Matter How Stupid, Should Ever Go Unpublished Again!" – Mark Shea
"Various ruminations on Catholicism, satire, esoterica, hagiography, nuttiness, culture, etc." – Saintly Salmagundi
"Theomorph responds to Christianity, religion in general, cultural silliness, and whatever else frustrates him during his sojourn here on spaceship Earth." – Theomorph
Let your imaginations run wild and let me know what you come up with! 🙂
The Truth Laid Bare…er…Bear
Until today, I only thought of The Truth Laid Bear in terms of the blog ecosystem
there. Much to my surprise, it’s also an interesting blog to read (at least so far).
Here are a couple interesting posts.
“The parties agree that they will not… appear at any other debate or adversarial forum with any other presidential or vice presidential candidate.” (Pages 1-2)
Now, if Kerry-Edwards ’04, Inc. and Bush-Cheney ’04, Inc. were, say, Coke and Pepsi, and they signed an agreement which was clearly designed to exclude competitors from the marketplace, they’d be hauled up on antitrust violations.
It seems someone agrees with some of my thoughts on diversity in politics.
Bush staff members rely on technorati.com and truthlaidbear.com, which track political blogs and websites to see what items in local papers, on websites and in blogs are getting the most hits. “If a story moves up through the rankings and linking, we can know,” says one of the Bush staff members assigned to alert the rest of the team about which stories are moving through the blogosphere. “We can get indicators about stories before they break elsewhere. It’s like an early-warning system.”
No worries, George: just consider me your white, furry canary in the deep dark coal mine of the blogosphere!
