Rocky Balboa finds redemption

» link
How about this quote from Sly Stallone in an interview regarding his new Rocky movie coming out soon:

The more I go to church, and the more I turn myself over to the process of believing in Jesus and listening to His Word and having Him guide my hand, I feel as though the pressure is off me now.

OpenSong - Open Source Worship Presentation Software

When I’m ready to jump in and help with an open source software development project it’ll be with OpenSong. This is a very cool idea and there’s certainly a need for it in smaller churches that don’t want to shell out big bucks for PowerPoint, Easy Worship, Song Show Plus or Media Shout. Plus it’s cross-platform.

Shocker: Chris Webber is not happy in Philly

Well gosh, Chris Webber is not happy in Philly.

I like what Rick Kamla has to say about that:

Chris Webber, 76ers: The 20-10 days are over. You know the end is near when your coach no longer thinks twice about sitting you down in the fourth quarter because you can’t jump over a paper clip.

Edwards acknowledges Wal-Mart gaffe

Ha, ha. John Edwards’ staff tries to buy a PS3 from Walmart without standing in line like normal people. First he vehemently denies it and now there’s an acknowledgment. Publicly bashing Walmart and secretly loving it. LOL.

Lame excuses

I think I’d almost prefer someone tell me an outright lie instead of churning out some super-lame excuse. I mean, really, you think I’m that dumb?

One thing that I hope my kids will always remember from their parents: If you tell a lie you get in worse trouble than if you told the truth about something bad.

I’m addicted to Google Reader and miffed about Yahoo Bookmarks Beta.

» link
3751084043-logo-scroll.gif

For several years, I’ve loaded my My Yahoo home page with RSS feeds of sites & blogs that I frequented. When I gave Google Reader a spin, I was surprised how cool the interface was. I then took all of my feeds and added them to Google Reader and now I’ve pretty much dumped My Yahoo altogether. It seems to me that Reader updates the feeds a lot quicker than Yahoo does, which , in general, is true about Yahoo and Google for just about everything. Google: plain and fast, Yahoo:rich and slow.

Another reason I’ve stopped using My Yahoo: Yahoo released their next generation Yahoo Bookmarks Beta. I relied on the old Yahoo Bookmarks heavily. Bookmarks Beta is not available to add as a My Yahoo module. Who knows when it will be. Ticked me off. The only thing I miss from My Yahoo is the sports scores and the lead news photos. Everything else I have on my personalized Google Home Page.

MRC’s Bozell Blasts Biased Media Coverage: National Press Is ‘A Laughingstock’

My thoughts on the mid-term election results

Well, I think everything/one I voted "yes" for lost yesterday with the exception of MO Amendments 6 & 7 and the smoking tax. Probably my biggest concern is the MO stem cell research amendment that passed. In my mind, it’s really a Pro-Life vs Pro-Choice issue when you follow it to it’s highest level. (Which, BTW, is pretty much a black & white issue for me) It was proposed as a response to Conservative legislative efforts to protect life from conception to birth. It concerns me because:

  • It’s vague. Why do we need an amendment to the MO Constitution for it?
  • It ignores adult stem cell research. I really didn’t ever buy the testimonials of those with Parkinsons or a spinal cord injury. They all just tried to elicit an emotional response and steer me away from the details. I found it offensive.
  • It exploits women for money. Seriously. How can it not turn into: some poor girl desperate for money for <fill in the blank> goes down to the local clinic gets $100 bucks for her eggs?
  • The PR machine for the amendment was funded by the Stowers family, who have a large financial interest in it passing.
  • It may nullify some existing abortion laws and it has the weight of a MO constitutional amendment behind it now

Not good. Good: No more <bleeping> annoying phone calls at dinnertime and no more <bleeping> commercials. This is hilarious. Clay Chastain — Mr. Annoying Non-Local Political Activist himself — gets light-rail in Kansas City on the ballot for, like, the 100th time. You’d think it’d go down in flames like the 99 other times it was on the ballot, but nooooo. It passed. LOL. Light rail from the Plaza to the Airport…we’ll see.

An NBA championship would legitimize Cubans ranting and raving. He’s going to have to show the league the money before they take him seriously and stop making rules for him.

What Iran’s leadership thinks about the US midterm elections

If you ever wondered what the “>leadership in Iran thinks of the United States, this’ll clear it up for you.

Interesting that he references the 600k bogus death toll in Iraq.
