A Christian Liberal is NOT an oxymoron.

The thing about following the news is that you begin to realize that a lot of the “news” is just stupid. So, for the record:

I could care less if Roger Clemons took human growth hormones. I might care if he took elephant growth hormones. It surely isn’t worth a Congressional hearing. It damn sure wasn’t watching CNN that day. First of all, the people who are most to blame are the morons running around with $5,000 tickets to the game, a $500 game jersey, a $150 official authentic ballcap, and probably $50 official boxer shorts. The reason Clemons may have done drugs while Ty Cobb never did is that no one ever waved $8 million at the George Peach. Where does all the money come from? Kids that got old but never grew up and have their own sense of self-worth so tied to professional players and teams that don’t even know they exist except as aggregated sales figures that no price is too high for them to look like, smell like, dress like, or wipe their rear-end like their heroes. A pox on all of them. If your faith in baseball is shattered – GOOD! You shouldn’t have FAITH IN BASEBALL!!

I’m outraged that our country not only condones torture but has now been proven to engage in it whenever some order-barker decides a captive might have important information. That’s the very definition of “situational ethics” and it is wrong. But – I can’t say I’m surprised that, after six years of watching President Bush wink and grin at the idea of torture, the entire country couldn’t even muster up a yawn. No one cares that our government is misbehaving because they no longer see the government as an extension of themselves. Or, if they do, they aren’t above hurting/killing a few people if it will make things go along smoothly.

I could care less if Barack Obama lifted a couple of sentences out of Devon Patrick’s speech. For Hillary Clinton to say speeches don’t matter then try to claim that it matters where they come from is just the sort of pretzel-logic that has this country so screwed-up. Yeah, it would be nice if he’d given credit where it’s due – but he wasn’t turning in an academic paper. He was trying to stir people to action. I’m so ready to see some sort of action – any kind of action – from the American people that I wouldn’t care if he walked on the stage and said, “Father, forgive them.”
