Man of Several Talents: November 2009

Man of Several Talents. Monday, November 30, 2009. Do You Believe in Global Warming? The argument is starting to remind me of a time we all go through, as kids start to ask questions about Santa Claus. Do you believe? How could you possibly believe THAT? The Santa argument was probably never as polarized and many times, hateful, as the global warming debate, even though children always behave as, well, children. But the way people react to differing beliefs tends to be much the same. The only scientifica...

Man of Several Talents. Wednesday, August 5, 2009. It is time that we step back, and take a look at the messages that we are targeted with, and start analyzing their content. their meaning. their directive. For example, when is someone most likely to be telling us the truth? B) When they are in a room with like-minded individuals, and believe that the interaction is not being recorded, and will not be seen or heard at any point by anyone outside of said group of individuals.

Man of Several Talents. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. Cubs' Hendry Gets Vote of Confidence, Craps Pants. How does that happen? Somehow, Hendry has assembled a team built around the long ball, but can't hit home runs. With these mismatched parts, the Cubs have managed a dreadful 3-9 record against the perennial worst team in the National League, the Pittsburgh Pirates. In fact, the Pirates actually are. The worst team in the National League right now. Marlon Byrd - File Under: Great Signing. Ted Lilly has ear...

Man of Several Talents: June 2010

Man of Several Talents. Thursday, June 17, 2010. Oliver Stone's supposedly controversial W. Doesn't quite know what sort of film it wants to be. Stone's chronicle of the life and times of one of our most polarizing presidents, George W. Bush, whether it be because of the unruly task of compressing nearly forty years of history into two hours or the director's inability to commit his actors to a united form of storytelling, is unable to stay out of its own way.

Man of Several Talents: Enlisting in the War on Christmas
http://reidcrandall.blogspot.com/2009/12/enlisting-in-war-on-christmas.html
Man of Several Talents. Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Enlisting in the War on Christmas. When I woke up this morning, there were ships as far as the eye could see. The fleet had sailed in overnight. I watched as they loaded into their Higgins boats and amphibious landing craft, and now they are nearly to shore. But we will all fight to our last breath. We will take our beliefs to the grave. We will never be defeated in spirit. You for war crimes. Don't get too cocky, Fox, Keith Olbermann. I have a hard ti...

Man of Several Talents. Monday, December 21, 2009. Full Steam Ahead on U.S.S. Irresponsibility. We have no rudder, we're almost out of fuel, springing leaks everywhere. Let's take this baby out to sea! Regardless, I hope you have your $39,000, because that's your share, and they'll end up getting it one way of another. It began with the new $1.1T spending bill. What was that I remember about going line by line to eliminate earmarks. FOREVER. He had been holding out on 'moral grounds,' regarding feder...
