Got Silly?

John Hinderaker, over at PowerLine, referenced one of the great confusion factors of our time. In his January 17, Headline of the Day, he points to the following headline: "Bush drilling plan could threaten polar bears, panel chairman says." Mr. Hinderaker makes some excellent points in his small piece. It is hard to take seriously people who rail against the administration for not having a policy for energy independence, and then disallow every avenue of attaining that goal. I do not want the polar bears harmed either, and I agree with Hinderaker when he says, "My guess is that the polar bears would barely notice the drilling. As for global warming, the Arctic is still pretty frigid." This is not about bears or snail-darters (in fact the bears might eat the snail-darters given half a chance), or spotted owls or caribou. It boils down to a philosophy (Eco-ianity, or maybe Eco-insanity) forcing its rule on government, when the people are rejecting it. You gotta get your point out, so be silly! And they did it! (Were silly, that is.)

Right Angle Cafe

It's 2008 as I write this. We had a great Christmas, and are in the midst of a restful New Year. My wife, Jacque, had a good afternoon when the Michigan State Wolverines bested the Florida Gators in football (Although there were moments when ...).

Last Sunday evening, December 30, our church youth group hosted an all-church New Year's fellowship. The group is called 90°. That might help when you see the poster saying "The Right Angle Café."

Anyway, everyone had a great time. Here is the youth group site, where pictures are posted.

Thanks to Justin and Bekka Nelson, and the kids of the group for a great evening.
