I’ll admit he’s a good boy overall, but have you seen him when he’s mad? He has a mean left hook, and goes from QUIET & CALM to PIERCINGLY LOUD.

And let’s face it… compared to most… your kid is QUIET and CALM. Next kid you have you can compare!

Mike,

I am not a big Star Wars fan and I thought the cake was awesome!

Jeff,
Wait, I was a guest at your wedding and I didn’t think the cake ruined– ah, I see what you did there.

Mike,
I still love you, even though you’re not the world’s biggest Star Wars fan.

Mike,

Had you been so kind as to offer up your invaluable, and clearly thought out, opinion several months ago, you could have prevented what obviously was the biggest faux pas of the year. You’re absolutely right that this was so tacky that it served only to ruin the festivities for me, my wife, and everyone who attended my wedding. What was I thinking?

Comment on Dobson Wrong About Obama by Dones

Agreed. Plus I think we’re to the point in American conservative politics where the focus needs to be on fiscal conservatism, not social conservatism. Between the two candidates, I think Obama is more trustworthy to balance the budget than McCain, and that’s too bad for Republicans. While I like Obama, I’d much rather have had a good fiscal conservative to vote for in the election. I don’t think I’m alone in that, but then it begs the question why McCain is the presumptive nominee. My guess is that it goes back to the full selection of candidates we had in the Republican primary: Huckabee was good, but probably too famously focused on his faith. Romney just didn’t seem honest; Ron Paul made a lot of sense but was kooky enough that it scared many folks away. So as has been the case many times in other Republican primaries (like for Kansas governor, for instance), it seems that the moderate won because more people could agree on him or at least agree that he was more harmless than the other guys…I dunno. But I look forward to seeing what Obama can do for this country.

I was raised on Dobson and Focus on the Family and sort of accepted his input as part of my religious tradition. He’s gotten very political, however, and is part of the movement which limits their political influence to discussions of homosexuality and abortion. I think his sensitivity to these issues colors his views of politics. In attacking Obama with, I agree with you Dones, inflammatory language, I think he undermines the integrity of his message. He’s going after Obama because he thinks he’ll support Roe vs. Wade and that he’ll support gay marriage. He’s right. Obama will. Dobson should concentrate his critic of Obama on those topics without attacking Obama’s exegesis.

Comment on In “The Waiting Room” Again (In a Good Way) by Dones

Hmm, how did I miss the blurb in March announcing the band was getting back together? Oh, that’s right, I was going nuts trying to adopt a baby, sell a house, and buy a house, while learning my new job and commuting an hour and a half each day. Okay, I guess I won’t feel so dumb that I missed that announcement.
