Merry Christmas All!

From http://www.youtube.com/user/HyperPixelsMedia Enemy-occupied territory—that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage.

So Do You Go or Not?!

Uh… okay. I like bizarre holidays but I’m not so sure I’d attend a holiday bizarre, especially at a private residence. (Given that this sign shouldn’t have been affixed to a light pole in the first place and should have been removed about 40 days ago, I’d say it’s fair game.) Recently I was kicking […]

Starry Night, Pullman Style

Sometime in the past couple of years I saw this painting on a Washington State University website. It’s obviously a WSU-themed play on Van Gogh’s Starry Night and it captures the warmth of the campus in Pullman, Washington very well. Some of you WSU alumni have likely seen this on Facebook or Pinterest. Curious about […]

Saeed Left in Iran

Here’s a great post about the United States government walking away from Saeed Abedini on the Public Secrets blog. Last week America and other western countries signed a ridiculous agreement with Iran that will supposedly slow down their nuclear program. It resulted in the immediate lifting of certain sanctions and the release of billions of dollars […]

Bare Bear Encounter

Whoa! Who could have seen this coming? This was forwarded to me last week and it’s a good reminder to mind your surroundings in the wilderness. As a kid who grew up sharing woods with the neighborhood bears, I saw some interesting things, but never this.
