Quality interweb mischief from Jared Bridges
This is getting rather eerie. After the Sigfried & Roy incident, and the incident with the guy who was mauled by his pet tiger, it seems that two “Grizzly People” were outdone by the animals they were devoted to. Have you ever seen Day of the Animals, a movie where all the animals begin to … Read more
Albert Mohler writes today on character: Arnold Schwarzenegger is an example of a candidate whose primary qualification for office is more rooted in charisma than in character. It is hard to imagine that California voters were shocked when accusations of lecherous behavior were leveled at Schwarzenegger. He has presented himself throughout his adult life as … Read more
David Brooks offers some tips for those running for President in 2004. Noteworthy among them is this: Don’t worry about respectable opinion. If you read the best newspapers and magazines in the country, you will get the impression that SUVs are decadent and McMansions are vulgar. But millions of Americans love SUVs and buy McMansions … Read more
The Door Magazine has an interview with Michael Graham, author of Redneck Nation. Graham’s book apparently covers how most of liberal America exhibits the same traits that they like to make fun of in rednecks from the South (all of us from the South ain’t rednecks, of course).

In a sense, that doesn’t matter. What matters enormously is whether or not people lose the freedom to say what they think. That loss … Read more
Husbands, be good to your wives.
The Vols (4-0) play Auburn (2-2) tomorrow at Auburn, where the War Beagle lives. My father, a crimson-dyed-in-the-wool Alabama fan, says that when the toilet flushes, it goes all the way to Auburn. I hope the Tigers have used up their 2000 Flushes, because the Vols are ready to play.
I stumbled upon an article, written about a year ago, by GQ magazine editor Walter Kirn. Kirn decided to delve into the Christian subculture, which he calls “Ark culture.” Kirn’s article offers us a no-holds-barred look of how the world sees Christianity (especially the Christian sub-culture) that I think would be good for all Christians … Read more
