jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT: December 2014

Jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT. CURRENT AFFAIRS. RELIGION. POLITICS. Tuesday, December 16, 2014. If you had any doubt that the heart is just pump and muscle, consider Dick Cheney whose new heart has had no impact on his twisted view of morality. Of course, it might just be that, in finding the replacement, his doctors were able to locate a perfect match, a donor who had also thought torture was both okay and justified. On Meet the Press. I was thinking he probably meant in a heartbeat. With that nota...

Jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT. CURRENT AFFAIRS. RELIGION. POLITICS. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. You and I may not know for certain if the rape allegations against Bill Cosby are true or not. They certainly appear damming. Some of those who do know, especially in the press, are now confessing shame. That they have long been culpable in enabling him by remaining silent. At the moment the accused is still avoiding the subject and many of his longtime fans wish they could. His Hero with a Thousand Faces.

Jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT. CURRENT AFFAIRS. RELIGION. POLITICS. Saturday, August 15, 2015. And the winner is? In the weeks before and days after the first Republican presidential debate, it has managed and driven the story. From its taking on to itself the role of arbiter — who would and would not be in prime time — it assumed absolute control of the show. And “show” is the right word. Fox specifically has benefited from the before and after publicity garnered by the show’s star attraction.

Jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT. CURRENT AFFAIRS. RELIGION. POLITICS. Thursday, July 30, 2015. OMG, he is us. Donald Trump is surging. In New Hampshire polls. Okay America, what is it that you want? I don’t think Trump has any real chance of gaining the Republican nomination, but that doesn’t mean his candidacy and early poll performance is irrelevant. In a different time, someone like that might never have entered the fray, much less been taken at all seriously. But this is now, not then. There is a ...

jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT: May 2015
http://jonathanjprinz.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT. CURRENT AFFAIRS. RELIGION. POLITICS. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Early in January 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy announced for the presidency — eleven months before the November vote. Barack Obama did so on May 2, 2007, about seventeen months before his. This March 28th. Ted Cruz tweeted, “I’m running for president”, almost nineteen months before we go to the polls. So here we are, engulfed in another endless campaign season. Consider the recent May 7. All these years after,...

Jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT. CURRENT AFFAIRS. RELIGION. POLITICS. Friday, October 24, 2014. We do many awfully stupid things in life. One of mine was to go several years without taking a vacation. I was just too busy. To take time off. What an idiot, what kind of a life was that? So I made a pledge to myself: take vacations and truly vacate. My chosen retreat was the Caribbean off-season, ultimately on the small and beautiful island of St. Barths. Both were possible on the island. And yes, the nam...

jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT: Born on the 14th of July
http://jonathanjprinz.blogspot.com/2015/07/born-on-14th-of-july.html
Jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT. CURRENT AFFAIRS. RELIGION. POLITICS. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Born on the 14th of July. We’ve seen so much focus on war and killing, that it’s more than refreshing to see a major step toward future peace. It’s also a relief. Barack Obama and John Kerry (who did the heavy lifting) along with Iran’s negotiators have rendered us a great service in securing a deal. He is thinking of and for the next generation. He even made a desperate and comical 11. 8212; embittered doesn...

Jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT. CURRENT AFFAIRS. RELIGION. POLITICS. Monday, June 29, 2015. I can’t count the times I’ve heard. Century Christian hymn that became the emblematic African American spiritual. But two of those stand out for me, one intimate and very personal, the other sung just days ago. He loved the house across from that spot where he had lived with his then wife and still close friend, the great mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne, and their daughter Angela. The second of course was a. And a...

Jonathan j prinz / BEYOND ALL THAT. CURRENT AFFAIRS. RELIGION. POLITICS. Wednesday, September 17, 2014. That's not our problem. ISIS wants us to engage with them. So, too, do many of those Muslim states in the region. Having the United States and indeed any non-Muslims involved is a perfect distraction, a perfect recruiting tool. It’s a distraction because it allows the parties to avoid facing up to their existential internal conflict and what it means for the future of Islam. It’s not our problem. 8212;...
