http://mosingsonlife.blogspot.com/2009/07/israel-irans-nukes-and-lots-of-help.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2009. Israel, Iran's Nukes, and Lots of Help from the Obama Administration. So, VP Joe Biden. Says it's okay for Israel to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. "We cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do when they make a determination. If they make a determination. Said in an interview on ABC's "The Week" on Monday the 6 th. Joe might want to check back with his boss. Here's Obama, when asked one day later if his administration. In other words, this doesn't affe...

//Mosings//: France, Part I
http://mosingsonlife.blogspot.com/2010/06/france-part-i.html
Wednesday, June 16, 2010. France, Part I. We went to France. Here's the story, in short installments. Numb airport gate agents, almost robotic in their countenance. Unlike robots, these terminal denizens are not emotionless. Instead, they are sunk deep into melancholia. However, there was a curious glimmer—almost joy—in this specimen's eyes as she told us we had missed our flight to Paris. 8221; at the top of my lungs. This is an Airbus A330. I only fly Boeing, so I asked the stewardess for a parachu...

//Mosings//: FIlm Review: Avatar
http://mosingsonlife.blogspot.com/2009/12/film-review-avatar.html
Sunday, December 20, 2009. Is the most expensive movie ever made. Sources vary, but the New York Times pegged it at just under half a billion dollars. It's unfortunate, then, that the movie was fatally flawed. We saw the film in 2D because we're skinflints, and because some of us thought 3D would make us nauseous. Many of the positive reviews Avatar. If critics had paid more attention to the movie's plot, I fancy they wouldn't be quite so quick to proclaim Avatar. What do our heroes do? About halfway thr...

//Mosings//: Tim Tebow Forever
http://mosingsonlife.blogspot.com/2010/02/tim-tebow-forever.html
Wednesday, February 3, 2010. You have probably heard of Tim Tebow. Tebow, 22, is the quarterback for the Florida Gators, the University of Florida's football team, and he is the greatest college athlete ever. There are a few more things you should know about Tim Tebow. His parents are missionaries in the Philippines. The doctors told his mother that he should be aborted to save her life. He is a virgin. He is appearing in a pro-life Super Bowl ad on Sunday. Nor uproar arose last week, when it was reveale...

//Mosings//: In Which I Am Seduced by the Specter of a Corporate Image
http://mosingsonlife.blogspot.com/2009/09/in-which-i-am-seduced-by-specter-of.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. In Which I Am Seduced by the Specter of a Corporate Image. For this refurbished iPod than I would have for a new Zen X-Fi of the same storage capacity. The twin-pronged question that filled my head was: Do the advantages of the Mac (no viruses, infinitely better operating system, instant good karma) outweigh the disadvantages (high price, mediocre raw stats, and being labeled as an artsy snob? And backed up that assertion with my pocketbook. I am truly an American. Lord, let m...

//Mosings//: Two tidbits
http://mosingsonlife.blogspot.com/2009/08/two-tidbits.html
Friday, August 7, 2009. My new favorite source for worldwide news is Foreign Policy magazine; especially two of its recent articles which challenge the conventional wisdom and strike me as wise- all too rare a quality. See what you make of them. Myth #1: "Conditions in Africa are Medieval.". FP's response: read the whole, enlightening article here. Myth #2: "Power is shifting from West to East." (America and Europe are losing power to Asia.). FP's response: read the article here. Authored By Sola Gratia.

//Mosings//: France, Part II
http://mosingsonlife.blogspot.com/2010/06/france-part-ii.html
Monday, June 21, 2010. France, Part II. Honfleur to Dinan, Brittany, via a never-ending procession of roundabouts and wee little towns. We were sad to leave the B&B in Honfleur- it was a truly wonderful place. Today we toured some of Normandy's beaches, including Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc, where Grandpa Gray's Ranger Battalion fought on D-Day. We then set our sights on Brittany, our next destination. Authored By Sola Gratia. I really enjoyed your journal/post so far, very intreseting and well written.

//Mosings//: Haiti and the Bible
http://mosingsonlife.blogspot.com/2010/01/haiti-and-bible.html
Saturday, January 16, 2010. Haiti and the Bible. It happens after every natural disaster: "Why does God let these things happen? Some people say. And some reply, "These people are cursed by God and deserve to die." Cue hatred. Were they in pre-Earthquake 'Frisco? Again, no. Thus, Robertson's theory that only extreme, devil-worshipping sin merits this sort of catastrophe is disproved. As a Calvinist, I believe that every unredeemed person deserves death. I'm not going to apologize for that. The fa...Now t...

//Mosings//: Ender's Game: Literary Analysis
http://mosingsonlife.blogspot.com/2009/12/enders-game-literary-analysis.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Ender's Game: Literary Analysis. Is a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card and is. One of the very few books to win both Hugo and Nebula awards, science fiction's highest honors, for Best Novel. It is the story of child prodigy Ender Wiggin in 22. The questions Card leaves unanswered are uniformly intentional. Ender's Game is not a thrilling science fiction story, but rather a novel about the human condition and the consequences of thoughts and actions. Was Graff...They ...
