I am heartbroken over the plight of the hurricane-homeless of New Orleans. With each new injury to the residents committed since those levees were first allowed to degenerate into an inadequate safeguard (see this previous post; see the Senate’s findings), the story of the betrayal of the American citizens of Louisiana gets uglier. [...]

Congratulations, Kimmy, my beautiful wife! (she’s the one on the left, cheek to cheek with her best buddy and fellow nursing school student, Lisa).
My wife has just completed an ordeal that vaguely resembles a college degree, but more accurately could be described as an insanely cruel and unusual punishment meted out on unsuspecting moms-with-kids [...]

Isaiah 52:14, The Message:
He didn’t even look human– a ruined face, disfigured past recognition
…Makes me think of Mel Gibson’s Christ (beautifully acted by James Cavaziel) in the post-flog Passion scenes.
Soldiers did this.
Military might smashed in the face of my Jesus.
The superpower, torturing an insurgent ring-leader in order to put on display an example of what [...]

Isaiah 53:3-6 in The Message:
“We’ve all gone our own way, done our own thing…”
That phrasing…
Stark individualism is not good for a person. It is devastating for a community, for a society. The man, or nation, embracing it, forgets how connected all men are designed to be. Alone, divided off from each [...]

Why Can’t These Pale Pilgrims Learn The Language?
Colin McEnroe - The Hartford Courant
