All I Want for Christmas

…is to not have to do anything for it but go to church. I’m holiday-celebrationed out already.

M.O.B. Party

Yes, we made it to the Minnesota Organization of Bloggers party. And we had a good time. MFH had a flash of forethought, and made us up a couple of nametags before we went. We hung out with Steve and His Lovely Wife, and had a good view of Mitch holding court […]

*Eye Roll*

Presenting: the worst analogy I’ve seen in quite a while. Summary: having to carry a baby to term is like being forced to build a bicycle by a random stranger. What the … ? The writer implies that pro-lifers are itching to go around begetting progeny through rape. […]

Oh, Well

That was my reaction at the end of the Apprentice finale, when Randal advised Trump not to hire Rebecca, too. A lot like how I felt at the end of Matrix Revolutions, when the war “ended” but the machines got to keep the Matrix going. Althouse and her commenters have lots of good […]

Finally, some real snow!

We got about 6 inches of slightly wet snow yesterday. Shoveling is mostly my job, since I have the strongest back in the family. My favorite shovel is a scoop shovel, technically a grain scoop, I think. Anyway, it works well on snow–especially out in front where I have to throw it […]

Well, Maybe

1 Corinthians 12 says that the Body of Christ has many parts, and that all Christians have a place in it. I can’t help thinking that the writers at Slice of Laodicea must be somewhere in the frown lines. I do agree with them that the Gospel is the main message that Christians […]

Apprentices

Posted: Monday, December 12th, 2005 @ 4:17 pm in Foofy, General | Comments Off

I haven’t written about either Apprentice show lately, but last night I had a dream that a bunch of Donald Trump’s potential apprentices were brought back, and they had to build a kiddy ride, a cross between a small train and a rollercoaster. The apprentices were debating how to best display the Wonderbread logo […]

They’re Back!!

I’m very pleased that the Ladies Against Feminism are actively posting articles again! Don’t miss this one, especially, which comments on some of the recent debates about feminism, including the infamous Linda Hirshman article (that I wrote about here):
Amazing, isn’t it? Echoes Vivian Gornick, who wrote 24 years ago, “Being a housewife is an […]

Blogs of Beauty

Posted: Tuesday, December 6th, 2005 @ 10:08 am in Foofy, Christianity, General | Comments Off

Two Talent Living has been running a Blogs of Beauty contest, to honor female bloggers who “bring beauty to the world of blogdom” (strongly slanted toward the Christian view of beauty). The lists of nominees and finalists are here. Voting runs until this evening, I think, but the best thing is to just […]

Perpetual Victimhood

Posted: Friday, December 2nd, 2005 @ 9:30 am in Politics, Feminism, General | Comments Off

Dr. Sanity is talking about identity politics, and feminism in particular, again. One sentence, in particular, seemed pertinent to my recent post on feminism:
Their objective now is maintaining women’s victimhood, so they can eternally be the champions of the oppressed.
